Get Warm, Not Tired!
Simplify your warm up now so it’s second nature on the big day.
Show days are loooong. You need to be warm and ready all day, so it’s tough to feel fresh by the time you’re actually performing. Here’s how to care for your body early on so you still have some sparkle left by curtain call.
Have a Fast and Flexible Warm Up Plan
You know your body best, including which bits need some extra love. Take care of those bits with a quick warm up that leaves energy to spare for movement snacks when you need them, and most importantly for dancing your heart out.
5-15 minutes can be enough to get you going. Jot down your plan, but know you can adjust along the way.
Warm Up in 3 Chunks:
Circulation – get your heart beating and blood flowing. 30-60 seconds of arm circles and marches on the spot could be all you need. If your body feels cold or stiff after a break, you can do another round without burning yourself out.
