>A Champ with great stage presence:
>1. Looks confident.
>2. Never looks down even with his/her eyes.
>3. Hold his/her chin up.
>4. Smiles before he/she dances and looks the judges in
>the eyes.
>5. Gracefully, but confidently points before starting
>(doesn't adjust his/her toe).
>6. Explodes out of her ready stance and gets
>everyone's attention.
>7. Breaks into a natural smile once or twice while
>dancing to show how happy he/she is to be dancing.
>8. Has a natural looking face while dancing (not too
>robotic or blank).
>9. Never makes a face when he/she messes up.
>10. Doesn't get "stuck" in the back or a corner by an
>aggressive dancer because he/she knows how to adjust
>his/her steps to avoid these situations.
>11. Smiles when finished.
>12. Walks confidently and evenly on and off the stage,
>never breaking into a trot and never walking quickly.
>13. Bows low to the judges and musicians (not too low
>so as to show off the bloomers).

>A true champion will 'work the stage', i.e they use

>A graceful champion conscientiously 'works' the space

>Brilliant stage presence ........
