What makes a good dancer?

Eating healthy helps when being a dancer because it gives you more power and energy when always being active. It is better to eat salad than chips. In other words you need to have a balanced diet. A balanced diet consists of a range of each food type. You need a lot of protein and fruit and vegetables.

 You also need motivation to be able to dance otherwise you will get bored very quickly and you have to have a passion for dance. Passion is key because if you don't have passion then it will be boring and then there is no point you dancing.
Being stiff with your body will not work because as a dancer you need to be free flowing with a range of dynamics. Being versatile with different dance styles is good as well because most dance styles use the same concepts and moves in another dance style, e.g. ballet is used in street dance a lot. 

Confidence in your own ability and the confidence to try it out. If you are not confident then you wont wan to try out new things to make yourself a better dancer. Dancing is all about trying new things. If you do not try new things then you will never improve and not develop as a dancer.

When being a dancer you have to warm up and cool down properly otherwise you can get really badly injured. You also, as a dancer need to know your limits when coming to hard tasks and or tricks, knowing whether or not you can do the task. It can lead to injuring yourself for a long time or never being able to dance again.

Being imaginative and creative is also important because dance is all about telling stories and getting views and points across.
