What do you use to put the glue onto your eyelid? I usually put a thin layer of glue onto the fake lash first, then put that in place.

Yeah, I don't mean the traditional practice a few days to a week before where things are messy. I mean, the dance was terrible for weeks leading up to comp... we didn't manage to hit one run-through at a more than ok level, pro's partner described it as "not good", and pro was seriously worried about how it was going to go at comp.
And it was great. Three times.

From watching a recent pro am competition:
Sometimes even pros won't even use proper technique. That probably irked me out more than anything. The teacher who won top teacher never used proper footwork.
There really are naturally gifted dancers out there. Watched a guy compete that only had been dancing 6 months and he came out as nearly professional... At least in bronze syllabus and technique.
Doré dresses make me want to rob a bank.

What are we talking about when we say proper footwork? Was he taking heel leads in cha cha?

I'm curious too. I know some teachers will reserve energy if they have a full day and lots of students. But that's no excuse for bad footwork.

More or less clumsy Latin footwork, especially in cha cha... leaving minimal Latin motion. A lot of flat footed movement making it look like he was really the newbie. There were other things too but that was by far the most apparent especially when one of his students had great footwork & legs.

Yep! Which is why I'm criticizing the lack of an ethics to have at least some level of standard performance for your students.

Pleased to share that I've made a near-full recovery and that the PTSD nightmares are now only intermittent!
Sometimes, I use lash glue that comes in a tube with a wee paintbrush, the same way some liquid eyeliners are packaged. REvlon makes it, and others, but def Revlon. If I'm out of that, I'll use one of those pointy newfangled q-tip thingies; glob of glue on back of hand; swab q-tip in glue, apply to eyelid.
A big-time NYC fashion photographer told me that all the models apply glue to eyelid, then lash to glue. Hey, if it's good enough for the cover of Vogue, it's good enough for me.

I learnt that if I stay calm it normally goes pretty well! I also found i perform better if im in the 1st heat in a round. I have no idea why but we seemed to do much better.
