Basic Understandings

Duo. The event everyone wants to do with a best friend In truth, while the appeal of Duo might be performing with a friend, this approach may not be best. Duo is about balance. Partners should complement one another stylistically and maintain a similar skill set and work ethic.

Chemistry is an important element of Duo, but chemistry outside of a practice/performance setting does not always translate to chemistry when practicing or performing at a tournament. Be sure to share your goals with your coach as they help you through the process of getting started in Duo.

Duo is an event that can be dramatic, comedic, or a combination of the two. With a ten-minute time cap, and a requirement of an off-stage focus, Duo is one of the most unique forms of performance. The main objective is to maintain a sense of balance between performers that focuses on the relationship(s) between the characters they create.
