H2O

“If you are going to walk on thin ice, you might as well dance.”
-Anonymous

Staying hydrated is important in all competitive sports, dance is no different. You need to help cool down the body when it is becoming heated or dry. To stay hydrated you should be drinking lots of water, especially during an intense rehearsal. Drinking water helps relax and fuel muscles, reducing spasms or tensions within them. If the dance studio doesn’t have a drinking fountain, be prepared to have a water bottle, and if refills are needed don’t feel like the bathroom sink isn’t an option for a replenishment. It’s important to drink water when you are dancing, you are sweating and burning off calories. Treat yourself, by giving your body fluids for hydration. It will reduce tiredness and stress on muscles.
