Technique, Technique, Technique

As of recent, I stopped practicing again because I suffered from a concussion but I have been working on my flexibility and technique instead of my actual steps. The key to good technique, such as good posture, pointed toes, feet that are turned out is to incorporate them into your lifestyle so that when you dance it becomes almost as natural as breathing. Ways that I do this is:
 1. I walk, sit, jump, run, everything with a straight back and good posture and form.
 2. I walk, and stand with my feet always turned out properly.
 3. For pointed toes this is more difficult to incorporate, but what you can do it when you run point your toes in back and kick your butt.
 Doing these three things will not only help with technique but when it comes to competition time technical points can make a big difference and change the difficulty of a step. The few extra points kept by having good technique can make all the difference between getting a first versus a second.
