Facial expressions inject emotion into dance, connecting audience with performer and revealing the intentions behind a given piece. Because of that, no matter how stellar a person’s technique may be, pairing it with a blank, overdone, or discordant face will undercut their artistry. Expressions are a vital communication tool with the power to make or break a performance, and striking the proper mood and intensity takes a delicate balance of projection and authenticity. Executing that while performing challenging choreography is harder still. Dancers can hone those skills to unlock next-level performance quality and impact.
