Do tricks often so you get super comfortable with them, relax, quiet upper body helps, sometimes listening to music helps too. There really isn't too much advice as far as style goes.

I look atrocious when I go no poles, but I look smooth with poles. I started keeping my arms super stiff. The edits below also influenced my no poles style. However I still ski with poles 85% of the time.

Golden Rule for poles/no poles is no poles when it's a rope accessed hill, poles if you're on a chair. Otherwise it's your choice.
