How To Choose Dance Resolutions That You’ll Actually Want To Keep

Image
I’ve made New Year’s Resolutions every year since I was about 10 years old.  And I’ve “failed” them almost every single year. So, why do I keep making them? And why are you probably in a similar boat, alongside ~90% of us? This year, I’m encouraging all of us, seasoned dancers and new dancers alike, to leave this narrative as far away from our dance goals as possible. Follow the framework below to start making dance resolutions that you’ll actually want to keep! 1. Reframe how you talk to yourself about resolutions.

What You Should Eat (And When!) To Dance Your Best

 What if the answers to our dance problems... are in the food we eat? Our diet can help us prevent injuries, provide sustained, balanced energy, and keep us strong – both physically and mentally. Below are some problems you may face as a dancer, and natural ways to improve them through your diet! Want to prevent/ease muscle or joint pain? Eat red raspberries! Joint and muscle pain is very common for dancers. They are usually a sign of inflammation. Long hours of practice or taking multiple back to back classes in one day can trigger joint and muscle pain. Although inflammation is a natural defense mechanism and plays a part in healing, too much of it can cause problems, like tissue destruction. The high levels of Vitamin C in red raspberries will help alleviate your joint and soft tissue inflammation. Red raspberry tea is known to help reduce inflammation and relieve pain specifically in joints. Drink it before you dance, or after a long rehearsal or workshop. Want to stay hydrated...
