Absolu Elle, leading pageant training and personality development academy in India writes on topics week after week related to pageantry and personality development.
Today we write on Goal 3 Ramp Walk.
Ramp walk is one of the most important subject to be studied in school of pageantry. It makes you someone very important in a pageant and also pageant organizers if you convince them with your ramp walk.
Your ramp walk should become your signature style, which is absolutely yours n it does not look copied. The most important thing required for ramp walk is the correct stilletoes. Your pageant coach will help you choose the right footwear and right color too. The best preferred colors at any pageant are Nude, silver, dull gold and black. You can choose any but my all time favorite is nude color which is not only preferred color of pageant but it definitely makes you look taller than what you are.
Take guidelines from your coach and buy the correct stilletoes, make sure you send all the pictures you click while buying it. Your coach will help you select the right one, once u decide on colour and stilletoes wear them and walk in the shop that you are buying, i suggest you should walk atleast 20 times in and around the shop to check if you are most comfortable. Once you think it suits you with style and comfort just buy it.
Once bought, the tough time begins now. Your coach is now going to get strict and on your back because the tough is going to get tougher. Ramp walk practice begins with pageant stance, feet in T junction or in 12 n 2 position, shoulders pushed back, chin parallel to floor, hands in small of waist, uptight position. Once you learn your pageant stance now time to start your ramp walk.
For ramp walk you need correct stilltoes, once in pageant stance start your walk, while walking cross feet and brush hands or thumb with dress, tuck in your stomach, tighten your hips and start walking. Do not forget to smile. It’s the most important thing of ramp walk. Smile, smile and smile, it’s a distraction, if you wish to grab attention on your beautiful face and million buck smile.
Minimum 20 minutes practice everyday at home is good enough time to practice ramp walk but once your pageant date is getting close time should increase to 40 minutes, practice daily. Your ramp walk should become your signature walk, people should recognise your walk more than you. Smile when you walk.
Ramp walk needs the maximum practice in school of pageantry. Your coach will help you to learn posture at the head ramp too. Keep practicing your walk and there is no way you will not be successful.
