The Beautiful Life Of A Dancer

Sure, dancers are creative and athletic. Some of us even make what we do look effortless, but do not let us fool you with our artsy-fartsy glory. Our lives are not as easy as they look.

We spend most of our hours from sun up to sun down on our feet, between technique classes and concert rehearsals. And, to top that off, we have to take in as much water as possible every day and night to keep us going.

Outside of class and rehearsal there is endless hours of practicing and stretching to increase strength, flexibility, balance, alignment and technique.

Dance is a never ending cycle inside the studio and out.

Here's to not being a college dance major anymore.
