One thing that I hate about sports like dance is that they are way to set on body type, shape, your looks, your age, your height, your outfit, etc… and unfortunately, skill and skill sets take second or are about the same amount of importance to the people who everyone thinks you need to impress. Although having a lean figure is important to be able to show off the lines and positions and your grace while dancing, at the same time there are a ton of larger women who can dance and are just as good, but never get the roles. There are also a lot of other women who are amazingly talented but since there is a the pretty popular girl next to her or a girl that can afford better beauty products or have a stylist who can recommend the right products to use, she may get the job because her hair and skin and nails may be in better condition. So in order to help level the playing field for dancers everywhere, I wanted to recommend a few products that may help you to not only increase your appearance from a stage to the audience, but also help you win the judges over so they focus on your ability to dance (which is the most important thing) and since they see you have gorgeous skin and hair and nails, they won’t focus on that. Once your hair, etc… look amazing, your skill and your talent will help you get the roles you want in the show. Everyone should be judged on their talent, but because that isn’t always the case, here are some products to look at using.
MoroccanOil Oil Treatment – This oil treatment is one that almost everyone in our office has used and we all love it. It not only helps you to have shinier and silkier hair, but it will help to repair damage done by a straightening iron for your hair to be pulled in a bun or in a pony tail or however you style it for dancing, but it will also help your hair look and appear more healthy and manageable. MoroccanOil is a seriously amazing product for dancer hairstyles. This is a product you have to have if you want good hair for the judges and for the show. Buy MoroccanOil and you will see the difference almost immediately.
Holy Mud Masks and Dermalogica Acne Treatments – Skin is seriously important and everyone is going to notice skin that has blemishes and that is not moisturized or healthy. It is important to use masks like the holy mud pumpkin exfoliating masks and the deep cleaning toning mask like the Dead Sea Mud Mask and also use an acne product like the Dermalogica acne treatment so that your skin is clean and new, then use a moisturizer or moisturizing mask like the oat and honey mask to nourish and moisturize your skin. Having good skin will definitely help your chances of landing a better role in your show.
The last thing to remember is to not use makeup or nail polish that stands out. You want a nail polish that blends in or is a neutral color so the judges and the people in the audience actually watch you dance and not your hands getting in the way. Your hands are as important as your arms and legs and if you have a color that stands out, it will take away from what you are doing with your body. Keep your nails with a neutral color and your dancing will show itself off even more and you will look a million times better. Barefoot in Barcelona is a perfect color for this. Or use a tan or pink color for your nails.
Anyways, it is absolutely horrible that dancers have to not only dance well but also get judged on appearance, but with the products above and taking a bit of time each day, everyone can compete on all levels and if you use the products in this post, you may begin to get a step up and small advantage over the people who have not found this post. Dancing is amazing so focus on getting better and let these products work on the rest. You will not only feel better by using products that can help you look better, but you’ll have an advantage over the other girls when you are auditioning for a role and have an advantage when performing since the audience will have a better chance of noticing your hair and then watching you. Proper hair, skin and nail care is key to dancers getting roles in shows and key to moving forward in life. Pick the products that work for you and then work on your skills.
