Endurance is important–but how important?

If Susie can perform the routine once and not be out of breath, that’s great! If Barbara [...]

Sorry for the long dormant period of this blog! School has been demanding, what can I say? But I will be trying to get some more posts in.
This is for those dancers that have trouble dancing “passionately”. Your dance instructors keep telling you that you lack passion, but how do you obtain it?

Everyone wants their kicks as high as possible. How do you get them there?
Well, the obvious thing to do is stretch. You can’t get high kicks if you aren’t flexible. Make sure you [...]
