Mobility is only ever used in lifts, while flexibility is used in every other dance movement

Flexibility is the range at a joint; mobility is moving the joints freely through that range

Perform only fast movement throughout, since speed is what impresses the examiner most

Focus only on facial expression and let the accuracy of the movement look after itself
