Brigid linked to a good Gymnastics Zone article – Top 12 FX and Beam Dance Tips:
1. Have fun!
Many gymnasts perform as if they do not understand that the judges and audience can read their emotions just by looking at them. Nearly 70% of communication is by non-verbal means, like body posture, inner attitude and facial expression. Put yourself in a good mood and everyone will like you and your routines better.
2. Perform!
Regardless of the importance of the competition and the subsequent pressure you might feel, your real job is to perform to the best of your ability, at the particular time and place of the meet. This is your opportunity to show everyone what you have been doing in the gym for months and years. People love gymnasts who go all out to put on a show for them, regardless of their actual skill level, mistakes and competitive success. Put on a real show for them and they will love you.
3. Smile …
No “Big Fake Smiles” allowed.

Surprisingly hypnotic to watch.

Cyrille is from Switzerland.
This isn’t juggling, actually. It’s Poi.
Poi refers to both a style of performance art and the equipment used for engaging in poi performance. As a performance art, poi involves swinging tethered weights through a variety of rhythmical and geometric patterns. …
Poi originated with the M?ori people of New Zealand, where it is still practiced today. …

Details on how to build that one on Breakdancing Ninja.
Robbie sends us that link and another. (Dutch but with photos & videos)
I’ve tried a few over the years, always finding one problem or another with them. Certainly it’s a good “introduction” for beginners still learning to keep as much split as possible throughout the circle.

Even if you know nothing about Rugby, you’ve got to admire the impassioned posture dances, a pre-match ritual.

Black Swan
September 11th, 2011 — dance, movies, psychology
I finally saw the film Black Swan.
Click PLAY or watch the trailer on YouTube.
Very well done. But terrifying. High performance dance leads to mental illness.
It’s called a psychological thriller. But if you don’t like horror movies, skip it.

Have you ever seen anything like that?
… and I’m not talking about the bizarre Romanian choreography of that era. (1987)
Thank gymnasticsstuff for the link.

August 17th, 2011 — dance, floor (women), Gymnastics
Inside Gymnastics on Facebook called Katelyn’s Floor – “great music, beautiful leaps and dance” – the highlight of podium training yesterday.

Certainly she’s one of the few gymnasts who can make twisting split leaps look good.
