Sample answer
“During my time at Club Avalon, I performed in front of crowds of over 1,000 people. I always prepare by practicing my routines and visualizing my performance. To engage the audience, I make eye contact, smile, and sometimes even invite them to dance along. After a show, I received great feedback that my energy made the night memorable for many attendees. I've learned that connecting with the audience is just as important as the dance itself.”
