The document provides tips for becoming a successful dance student. It recommends always being overprepared by preparing your things the night before class so you can focus on resting. Students should arrive early to class to stretch and warm up. During class, they should be fully present and focused, removing all distractions, following the teacher's instructions, and paying attention to feedback from others. After class, students should take time to relax their bodies but also do exercises to stay limber and conditioned for the next class, just as professional dancers take care of their bodies as their instrument.
