Bounce on beat 1 and 3 in 4/4.

Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Stretch After Dancing

    Static stretch after rehearsal when muscles are warm — never force cold stretches.

  • Cross-Train

    Add Pilates or strength training — dance demands endurance and joint stability.

  • Listen to Pain

    Sharp pain means stop — tendinitis from pushing through ends careers.

Safety Notes

  • Warm up thoroughly before rehearsal — cold muscles tear easily.
  • Keep floors clean and dry to prevent slips.
