What types of feedback should participants focus on during practice?

Participants should focus on choreographic and performance feedback during practice because this type of feedback directly influences their skills and abilities as performers. Choreographic feedback helps individuals understand how well they are executing the movements and whether they are adhering to the creative vision laid out by the choreographer. It allows dancers to refine their technique, timing, and expression, which are crucial for a successful performance.

Performance feedback, on the other hand, provides insights into how effectively an individual is conveying emotions and telling a story through their dance. This aspect is essential for engaging the audience and making the performance impactful. By concentrating on these areas of feedback, participants can make informed adjustments to enhance their overall performance quality.

In contrast, feedback about costumes, general compliments from peers, and social interactions, while they can contribute to a positive experience, do not provide the substantive insight needed for improving dance techniques and performance skills. These elements may play a role in team dynamics but do not equate to the focused improvement that choreographic and performance feedback provides.
