Right now, the big conversation for us, regardless of the studio, in college, or deep in Nutcracker rehearsals, we’re shifting the conversation to recovery. As schedules and rehearsal ramp up for end of year shows and Nutcrackers, the discussion starts to revolve around sustainability.
Recovery isn’t just about “making time for it.” It’s about how you’re training up for it.
Two things we like to remind our dancers:
1️⃣ How you build and maintain your physical capacity shapes how well your body recovers.
2️⃣ How you gauge what you’re doing day to day and week to week helps you know whether you’re training enough to perform, or doing too much to sustain.
At DANCE|PREHAB, we teach dancers to use tools like RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and RIR (Reps in Reserve) so they can feel their training in real time. More importantly, it provides something to refer back to, to know when to push, when to hold, and when to rest.
Let’s create opportunities to nurture smart dancers and make recovery less of a reaction and more of a skill. 🧠🧠🧠
Let’s move!
