Subject: What are judges looking for in poise in a Natural pageant? Poise is 20% of the total score in one we're going to soon. The total is 20% beauty, 20% poise, 10% personality and 10% overall appeal....tia!!

[> I agree with the previous post, but I also associate poise with your child moving to the x's in a proper, smooth fashion(not running all over the stage). Of course they are children and will deviate some, but the more they seem to understand about the way the stage is layed out, the better in my opinion. Of course smaller ones will be walked by mom, but do they go where they are asked to go or are they running in circles?..lol. -- Judge's opinion., 10:10:06 03/16/07 Fri [1]

Thanks so much for the advice. My dd is 8. She makes good eye contact, has a good genuine smile and knows where the x's are on stage. The thing is, she likes to do the cutesy stuff on stage, like swing her shoulders back and forth. When she does a step turn, she'll spin around too fast. I try to give her advice at home, like asking her to slow it down a little bit or not to spin around so fast on her step turns, but she gets mad at me! LOL! I don't want to be one of those pushy mom's and make it not fun for her anymore. The thing is, she watches the other girls do their routines, and she tries to copy it. She did *one* glitz competition and she studied the video for hours...lol! But this isn't glitz, it's natural! When I try to get her to slow down, she looks robotic. And then we end up in stiches laughing b/c she's pretending to be a robot. LOL...I'm at a loss. I guess I should just let her be herself on stage and see what happens. Maybe she'll win personality..ha! Who knows..but we always have a good time, and that's all that matters. :-)

[> [> You're right! The most important thing is always for her and you to have fun! If you want her to slow down a tad, try having her count a beat in her head before she turns or turn to a slow count. It usually works. -- Judge's opinion., 18:19:35 03/17/07 Sat [1]
