Here's a ballet competition secret most dancers don't know: the judges are STILL watching when you run offstage.
I've judged competitions and performed at them for years. You can have a perfect variation, nail every turn, stick every landing - and then completely break character the second you think you're "done." Judges notice. It affects your scores.
How you exit matters. Stay in character, maintain your posture, and don't collapse until you're completely out of sight.
