Hi. I did dance when I was younger and up until 3 years ago. I did ballet, tap, jazz, and some hiphop and acro. I really wanted to do dance this year, but missed the sign up. Anyway, I am for sure doing next year, but want to brush up on some basics and start getting back into shape, so I won't look like completely lost when I go. Any suggestions?

well, first, your ankles need to build back up to there formor strength. do this by using something like a barre (ex:the back of a chair, a kitchen counter, ect) to keep your ballance. releve (go up in demi pointe) in first postion, second, third, fourth, and fifth postion. then do about 20 (or more) on each side. also, in ballet it's about strenght of the whole body, not endurnce. so do these things slow, not fast. even try some slow crunches/sit ups.
i'm so glad your getting back into dance!
have fun, keep dancing, and good luck!

Yes return to your Ballet training, and Tap, take lessons again with a local dance school, that is a sure fire way of getting back into shape, plus most schools do performances, so that will help you get your stage presence back. Break A leg, whatever your choice. One more thing Pilates is a Dancers best friend for exercise outside the studio.

colour guard is a game that takes a fabulous style of time and attempt. ensure which you would be able to learn the basics, with the aid of fact as quickly as you have those down you're able to do fairly lots something. ensure which you're able to do all and any styles of tosses. See in case you're able to have the girls prepare you an previous ordinary on their unfastened time. After this modern-day season is over see in case you will get a team of them collectively and spining in the time of off season (in case you have an off season) the base line is to in no way provide up spinning. in case you are able to attempt and get knowledgeable on a weapon when you grasp flag it particularly is mostly a step interior the impressive direction. consistently be attentive and respectiful and maximum of all have relaxing :)

Get a bar or something like a bar (I used to use the kitchen counter) and go through the execises we use in ballet. Also do some Yoga for the stretching and its great for a lot of other things too.

I just got back into dance after a year off and i found that I had lost the majority of my balance for turns because my core wasnt as strong as it used to be...soo work on all of your core muscsles...back, abs. shoulders...
