Moving up a level in dance?

There are several things you can do. I am a dance teacher, so i have experience with these things.

1. Ask your teacher. There is nothing more obvious to do than to talk to them. Make sure its not DURING class. Talk after class if they're not too busy, or before hand. Ask if there are any other levels of hip hop available, and ask if you can try them.

2. Work your butt of EVERY class. Stand at the front. Be confident, and your teacher will notice you. Ask questions as well. This shows your teacher your interested.

3. Ask your teacher what you can do at home to get better, to get to a higher level. Ask what you need to work on.

You should ask her to keep a closer eye on you during class, and tell her that you'd like to "try out" for level 2. Then just do your best with level one. If she sees that you're advanced enough, good for you!

If she says something like "you're not quite ready", then don't get mad and quit level one. Keep doing your best and, soon enough, she'll notice.

tell her.

she might bump you

up if you're good enough,

but maybe she doesn't want

to embarass everyone else.

next time you have dance be

the last one to leave and make

small talk about hip-hop or a move

you haven't been taught.

or just ask her.

like "i think this class is too easy,

can i go to level 2?"

Tell her, of course - Or when she asks for a volunteer to show how to do a certain move, always raise your hand... if you do duo / trio work, make sure your with people who aren't as skilled dancers as you; so it will make you look good compared to them. If your studio is small or you have a large class, and you warm up in seperate rows, go in the front row and close to the teacher.
