in Irish dancing, you must present yourself as though you are born for it. own the stage, use every square inch. if you don't connect with the judges, you are just going to be looked at for your moves not moves and style together, so Smile! also, make sure your arms are where they need to be. if they are moving around lots, you will get a deduction. hopefully the judges make comments on your score card so they can tell you what they think. rehearse your routine over and over again. if you are doing hard shoe, make sure your trebles are clean and sharp. Judges want to hear every sound. if you are performing in soft shoe, make sure that your hop backs are high to your bottom. your kicks should be high. work on your flexibility. lots!

Much of the attention is on the legs and feet, but they also look to see if your torso is steady and erect. Most of the motion comes from the legs and if you are bouncing your shoulders, you'll lose points. You should also have a pleasant expression on your face. Some dancers concentrate so hard they look really grim and you can almost hear them counting out loud!

Probably the upper body torso area.
