I'm going to enter a school host competition and there is a talent show, dancing or story recitation with expressions and body language, which is better!

The problem you're having is similar to a PK in the talent show on Challenge the Host some years ago.

In the end, the contestant who performed a poem recitation beat the contestant who danced in Xinjiang

The judges commented:

Hosts are always in the business of expression and language, so it's better to use the highlights of verbal performance to get extra points.

Dance can only show the harmony of your body and the richness of your talent.

The importance of language cannot be ignored in the competition

So, if dance is not particularly professional and highlights, it is better to choose recitation
