If It's The Right Thing For Olympic Athletes To Do, Shouldn't It Be For Dancers Too?

Because many dancers want to get to the nitty gritty without delay, they tend to overlook the value of taking the time to warm up. This is wrong! Doing so puts you at risk of injury (which could keep you from training, but also neglects  a major aspect of good training.

Let me explain.

I'm sure you've watched the Olympics at some point in your life and if you noticed, every athlete spends dedicated time warming up on the sideline somewhere. But they're not only just warming up their body, but they're also preparing their minds as well. They're visualizing their performance.

Warming up your body and visualizing aspects of your dance and what you want to accomplish during your training will help you get more out of class time. It will reduce any risk of injury and help you focus your effort so that you accomplish what you want to accomplish during class time.
