Stretch

It goes without saying how important stretching is, but especially during the summer break you need to make sure you’re stretching at least every other day and every time you’ve danced or been active. You also need to take advantage of the warmer weather meaning you can really work on your flexibility. If you don’t stretch you can easily lose your flexibility range, you can even stretch while you’re watching TV.

Be Active

Muscle tone can be lost quickly and once September comes back around you’ll be back to class again and rehearsing for performances, so it’s important that you’re prepared to get straight back into your hectic dancer lifestyle again! Being active can range from taking up a new sport to simply walking your dog, you’ve just got to find what’s right for you. It’s good motivation to try to keep fit so you’re ahead of your peers come dance season. Move Dance Cross Back Dance Crop Top and Move Dance Dance Shorts are ideal for keeping active and staying cool.

Don’t Overdo It

Although it’s good to take up something new and different, don’t push yourself too much. You don’t want to cause an injury meaning you’re unable to get straight back into dancing when classes start in September. The summer break is a break after all!

Have Fun

If some forms of exercise are making you miserable and you absolutely hate it, then switch it up.
