To learn how to professionally dance sports dances, it is necessary to abandon everything during the performance. And even on whether this or that movement is performed correctly or incorrectly. The most important thing in sports dancing is not physical, but psychological preparation.
Instructions
Step 1
Start with things that, at first glance, have nothing to do with the actual dance. For example, with the development of visual memory. These skills will help you not only memorize all the basic movements in sports (ballroom) dancing. A good visual memory will give you the opportunity to subsequently take into account all the nuances of their style and mistakes when watching the performances of other couples (in real competitions and in recording).
Step 2
Remember that any workout is programming. And your future performance will depend on how clearly you memorize the dance pattern during it. Try not to engage in monotonous repetition of the same mistakes during training. Some of them may be pointed out to you by your mentor and will try to correct them. But it will be much more productive if you start learning the dance from scratch. Try various technical options to "program" yourself in this way for a positive result.
Step 3
At the same time, do not give yourself the installation not to think about mistakes, since the brain will react in the opposite way, and all your attention will focus on how to prevent them again. However, their occurrence will be due to the next time purely psychological factors, and not your inability to reproduce the movement. Therefore, you will allow them again, and in the same place.
Step 4
Concentrate only on the dance, move freely. If at the moment you can't help but think that you are about to make a mistake, postpone your workout for the next day and rest to relieve the psychological pressure.
Step 5
Before an exhibition performance (even if it is just a competition at the club level), it is very important to get rid of the fear of possible failure. Don't worry about how you will look in the eyes of your coaches, parents, or friends. All your thoughts should be only about the performance, and not about whether you will win the competition or not.
