“Judges are looking for showmanship, original choreography and overall well-rounded dancers and technique. Our goal this year is to receive the superior rating.”
Elida Balboa
“You've got to be very talented. Then you've got to have the personality and the showmanship. Certain people have had hit records and they tried to play Vegas unsuccessfully. In the case of Celine Dion, she didn't have it at first. Her show was very awkward in the beginning. She learned to entertain an audience and learned what to do and what not to do.”
Wayne Bernath
“Every interview is about showmanship. Every person who walks into an interview is operating at a level of showmanship. The only question is whether you are aware of it and whether you follow the principles of good showmanship.”
Alan Fox
“We must get the American public to look past the glitter, beyond the showmanship, to the reality, the hard substance of things. And we'll do it not so much with speeches that will bring people to their feet as with speeches that bring people to their senses.”
Mario Cuomo
“I saw the turning point his sophomore year when he went from the glide technique to the rotation technique. From that point on, he definitely had got a taste of the success.”
Jayson Duffy
“This year, we're a lot lower to the ground. Our technique is great this year, ten times better than it was last year.”
Ray McDonald
“I mix the technique. It's not only burned, but also shrink technique. I always like to mix two, three techniques.”
