What to bring to class
Have you ever seen photos of super fit dancers strutting around in their leotards? Relax. That’s not us. At Prelude, we want you to be comfortable with yourself while improving your fitness. Here are the things to bring to class.
Bring Water – We will be working hard so make sure you bring a water bottle to sip from throughout class.
Bring Your Curiosity – Not sure of something? We love your questions and are happy to go over movements in order to help you. If you aren’t sure of a step I can guarantee everyone else will benefit from revision of a step.
Wear Something Comfortable – Wearing firmer fitting clothes such as leggings and a singlet top makes it easier for your teacher to ensure you are aligning your body correctly. If you have never put on a singlet top and pair of leggings in your life, we don’t want you feeling uncomfortable in the clothes you are dancing in. Find something that is stretchy and easy to move in and work up to wearing firmer fitting clothing as the year progresses and you feel more comfortable in class.
When You Are Ready, Bring The Shoes – Once you have found the style of dance you enjoy, it becomes easier with the correct footwear. Tap shoes for Tap, ballet flats for Ballet, and jazz sneakers or jazz shoes for Dance Fitness.
If you need help finding correctly fitting shoes, we have The Little Dance Shop from our studio location to provide what you need.
Preparing for dance fitness class
It’s important before you start your Dance Fitness class to have a quick internal check. Each week you may be coming in with a niggle somewhere different, you may feel bloated, you might not have had enough sleep. It’s important to give yourself a minute just to do a quick check and see how you are feeling.
Dance Fitness is about coming in, getting your body moving and improving each week, even if it’s just a little bit.
Be kind to yourself and make sure you acknowledge how you are feeling and set your expectations for yourself accordingly.
Don’t plan to use the weights if you know you spent the last two days gardening and your arms are already sore. Do pull back to a walk if you know the jogging will bring on the headache you have battled for the last two days. Getting to class is already your best move, once you are there, do what you can manage for that day!
