|
|
The subject says it all here. I have been on a big dance break and I'm finding it difficult to allow my body to do the things it needs to (let go) and dance. The class I am taking is slightly (or more than a little slightly) abolve my ability, making it extra tough. I think that I could do most of the dances if I could just get back into it. Does anyone have any advice on how to get back into this? I know it is going to take some time and practice. What can I do besides wait to help my mind/body get over this "I am too old and out of shape to do this stuff" complex. ps...I am 29 and relatively fit, just not strong and little stamina for an hour of tough modern dancing.
Thanks!!!

| Oh yeah, and I have a horrible time trying to remember the combinations!!! Maybe because I am trying to remember what half of the MOVES are...so if anyone has any advice on that too, I would be grateful! :) |

| Well the First thing you did was get back into :D Dance Congrates to you on that. I know you like Modern but maybe you should start back with a Ballet class just to get the feel of thing s again then go back to Modern. Hey dont worry your going to do real :) good at what ever you decide to do and you have already thaken the First important step and that s getting back into Dance :D . |

| The only thing i can say is stretch everyday! Also, find some time for yourself, relax and try some excercises that you feel comfortable with. |
