  • Ensure that all dancers in a duet/trio, quartet or group are always visible.
  • For solo and duet/trio routines, zoom in enough so that the dancers are clearly seen, but keeping the full body view of the dancers visible the entire performance.  
  • For best results, the recording should be done in a well-lit area so that the dancer’s facial expression, feet, hands, and all movements can be clearly seen.
  • The use of a tripod is strongly recommended to ensure a stable image.
