More than ever, the difference between the good teams and the great teams is their level of technique.  Regardless of what style you are performing: jazz, hip-hop, pom, high kick, or lyrical, proper technique is vitally important. 

Correct technique serves three major purposes. First, it helps to prevent your dancers from suffering injuries.  Proper technique helps to protect dancers’ muscles, bones, and joints.  From a team perspective, this safeguards you from the stress of having an injured dancer and working to make the team choreography cohesive in their absence.  From a personal perspective for the individual dancer, proper technique keeps their bodies safe and healthy, promoting a long, full life of invigorating dance opportunities!

Second, correct dance technique is a key element of any judging criteria, a major component of any competition score sheet.  Solid technique allows your dancers to simply dance better, in every aspect.  The direct correlation to this is your team’s ability to secure higher technical points, resulting in a higher overall point average at your next competition venue.

Third, having proper dance technique allows each dancer, and your team in general, to refrain from becoming stagnant.  It allows them to go from the single pirouette to the double, and from the double to the triple.  Dancers advancing from beginner to intermediate to advanced levels is not based on how fast they can learn material or how well they get along with their teammates; it’s based on how well they dance, technique being their only foundation.

These three important reasons are why BPDS prides itself on offering you superior technical instruction that is directly applicable to your routine and to your dancers.  You will receive a technique instructional DVD/VHS that details technical elements in your choreography.  Each element contains instruction on how to execute it properly as well as multiple exercises to help your dancers improve their abilities so they can achieve the execution of the technical element.  Each group of exercises provided for each element contain beginner, intermediate, and advanced options.  This enables you to get your entire team, even if they are starting at varying individual levels of expertise, to the same level.

The instructional DVD will provide demonstrations of all elements and each exercise.  It will also break down each element and exercise step by step so that your dancers can fully understand all the inner-workings of the movement.   

Technique instruction is yet another way Balance Point goes beyond just giving you the choreography; we help you to execute that choreography, correctly and technically sound!
