How the rounds work
Walking on, waiting, starting, stopping, walking off
Dealing with nerves
Dealing with blank minds and repetition
Dealing with collisions & near misses
LISTENING TO THE MC

Bruce Leasure is an experienced competitor with over 15 years and 70
contests, Bruce can help you understand how to get the most out of a
dance contest, and to improve your chances of achieving your contest goals.

Bruce has made almost all of the mistakes that are possible at a dance
contest, and his forgiving, wonderful, beautiful, and perfect dance
partner not only still dances with him, but they are still on speaking
terms. (Now that is surviving a dance contest!)

And the best of thing of all...

It's free for all members of the Dancing Illini!!

We hope to see you all there!
