It's challenging when normal routines get disrupted, but prioritizing food as a tool for your overall direction and teaching will offer tremendous support during this important time. To get there, consider these three tips to stay fueled during recital season.

Progress takes commitment…

and patience.

If I had a dollar for every time one of my young students got frustrated not reaching a goal in one lesson I would be a very rich dance teacher!

Wether it’s getting your splits, a clean pirouette, pointe shoes or any other dance related skill, commitment and patience are key.

Dance is a journey. Practice makes progress and progress takes commitment.

Anatomy of the Dancers Hip!
👩‍🏫
Taking some time to understand the basic anatomy of the hip can help tremendously when trying to find out which area is specifically blocking your turnout. In this four part series Lisa will discuss:
👩‍🏫
• The Gluteal Muscles. Efficient activation and timing of the gluteal muscles is essential to maintain a heathy spine and pelvis.
• The Turnout Muscles. Visualising where your turnout muscles are and how they contribute to turnout in different positions can dramatically help improve control of turnout in class.
• The Hip Flexor Muscles. The relationships between the different hip flexors, and why they get tight, is essential to maximising range of motion in the hips.
• The Inner Thigh Muscles: The location of these muscles and training them correctly is essential for long term hip health.
