Things You'll Need:
- Time for practice.
- Ample space or hallway to practice your walk.
- High Heels
-
Step 1
When practicing your walk, start off with an ample area or a hallway. Practice at first balancing a book on the top of your head or imagine that someone is pulling you to the sky form your hair. This will make sure your posture is correct.
-
Step 2
Your hands should be on your side, open with your palms turned in towards your thighs. Make sure you slightly swing your arms as you walk. Lift from the rib cage, relax shoulders and chin up.
-
Step 3
The pace for evening gown and swimsuit should be different. Your swimsuit walk should be slightly faster with pep. The evening gown walk should be slow and confident. Always walk with one foot in front of the other.
-
Step 4
You should practice your walk everyday until the competition in both in evening gown and swimsuit shoes; this is if you have different pairs. By the time the competition arrives your pageant walk should become second nature to you.
-
Step 5
The day of the pageant, when you walk all your concentration should be on the judges. Make sure that when you have entered the stage you make eye contact with them. It is okay to glance around the room at the audience from time to time. However, once you have started your individual competition, you should only focus on the judges.
