Here's my little tip of the trade to add that I learned from choreographers when doing skating ice shows as there are spotlights etc:
Always make sure you can find the light in your eyes. If you can find the light in your eyes, it means your face is illuminated. If you do this you will be able to avoid as best possible any of the less-lit portions of the stage. When dancers get themselves into these areas it is kinda distracting from the dance and breaks its seamlessness- you might notice this in some dance videos. Its just good to avoid if you can. Sometimes this is harder to avoid when a large group is dancing, but its usually doable in solos and smaller groups.
So whenever possible do everything you can to make sure the light is in your eye- even if its semi-blinding
Hope that's a helpful tip from me to you
Any other tips you might want to share?
This is a fantastic thread!
