So I have sat through a lot of dance recitals. Not always because I wanted to be there but I have seen a lot. From my own personal experience the enjoyment i take from the dance directly correlates the emotion showing on the dancer's faces.
If the song is up beat and happy and the dancers are moving a lot I expect to see a smile on thier faces. When I look and I see them looking bored or rolling their eyes back ( obviously thinking too hard about the dance itself) it's not enjoyable for me. Or anyone else in the audience for that matter.
When they say smiling is everything they mean it. If a smile is appropriate for the song then a smile should be plastered on your face even if you screw up, even if you don't want to be there. Even if the girl dancing next to you has something weird happens.
if the song is somber and sad then the face should reflect the emotion that the dance is trying to convey.
Smile people SMILE!
We're watching.
