Back To Dance Series- How to Avoid Injuries as You Go Back to Dance

It's easier than usual to get injured at the sta rt of a new year of dance. In today's post, you'll learn why that is, and what you can do to prevent it. Why are you more likely to get injured now? One reason is, after months of no classes, or less classes than normal, you won't have the strength and stamina you had months ago. Your muscles will get tired faster, which will result in less support for your joints. The other reason is dancers are more likely to push themselves beyond their limits.

Practice your fast changes. If you know how long you'll have to change, you can set a timer and practice your fast changes at home. This can help you to figure out things you need to do differently before the night of the performance. Get someone to help you. If you have a fast change assistant, that's great. If not, find someone who's not on stage during your fast change that can help you. They can fix your hair, tie shoes, or whatever else you need. ...

Back To Dance Series- How to Build on the Progress You Made Over the Summer

Most advanced dancers take som e form of classes over the summer, whether that's a weekly class your studio provides, a summer intensive, or something else. Today I'm going to give you some tips on how to build on what you learned over the summer. Stay in touch with friends and instructors. This one isn't about progress in dance, but it's still important. If you went to an intensive at another school, you probably met some new people. Try to keep up with them. If you have the opportunity, send the teachers you had a thank you card or text. Use corrections you got from your teachers. If you took any summer classes, it's almost guaranteed you got several corrections. Use those in your dancing as you start regular classes again. Your teachers will most likely notice your advancement, and it might be useful later on during casting or level promotions. Use compliments you got from your teachers. Don't forget about the compliments you got! Did a teacher say you hav...
