decrease lose muscle tone true
Some of the muscle tone will decrease and flexibility will also decrease. It's true what they say: if you don't use it, you lose it.
dance training vulnerable
Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives... So train the whole person, not just the dancer.
dance thinking other-cultures
I think it's useful to experience other types of dance and other cultures, and the life of a classical dancer these days is certainly not all tutus! So experience of other dance forms is a good idea.
dance running eight
So if the dance is five minutes long, make yourself run for perhaps eight minutes. That way, you over-train and the dance will seem easier...
pregnancy thinking parent
I think the shape of our bodies has as much to do with the shape of our parents as it does with training.
dance modern enjoy
I enjoy the freedom of modern dance as well as the constraints of classical dance.
dancing interesting body
I've always believed that the facts about dancing are more interesting than the myths, and this was a great chance for me to explore how the human body does such incredible things.

You can't reduce lactic acid, but you can increase your tolerance to it. I do this through running or cycling, but it's a good idea to match your training bout to the type of dance you do.

It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top.
dancing stressful prepared
Dancing's not always stressful, but I always make sure that I'm prepared as I can be, both physically, mentally, and practically.
dancers mind time trying vulnerable work
Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives, through adolescence, and while they are trying to work out who they are as people, never mind as a dancer. So train the whole person, not just the dancer.
