This document discusses personal safety for dancers, including how to prevent injuries during dance performances. It recommends stretching important muscles like the feet, legs, hip flexors, and lower back to keep them strong, flexible and aligned. It then demonstrates some specific stretches like side lunges, cross-overs, and standing quad stretches. It notes that stretching keeps muscles flexible and healthy to maintain joint range of motion. Staying hydrated by drinking water is also important for dancers to avoid issues like dehydration, muscle cramps and fatigue.

Though dancing is a full-body workout, some muscles
are used more than others and therefore, need more attention after. Stretching your feet and legs seems like a no-brainer ,but there are other muscles at work that are not as obvious. Your hip flexors, for example, allow you to lift your knees and bend your waist. They also play a key role in keeping your hips and lower back strong, flexible, and aligned. HOW TO STRETCH? Side Lunges
Stand bending the left knee
while leaning toward the left. Keep the back straight and the right leg straight. Hold for five seconds. Repeat three to six times. Repeat on opposite leg with legs apart, Cross-Over
Stand with legs crossed, keeping
the feet close together and the legs straight. Try to touch the toes. Hold for five seconds. Repeat three to six times. Repeat with the opposite leg. Standing Quad Stretch
Stand supported by holding onto
a wall or chair. Pull the foot behind buttocks. Try to keep knees close together. Hold for five seconds. Repeat three to six times. TRIVIA TIME
❑ Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and
healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way.
❑ First and foremost, dance fitness stands out from
technical or traditional dance in that technique and intricate choreography are not the focus. DIGGING MORE!
Water is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless,
and nearly colorless chemical substance. . Your body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because your body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it is important to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. · If fluid is not replaced, the dancer will become dehydrated. Muscle cramps, electrolyte deficits and muscle fatigue may be associated with dehydration and heat cramps. Thank you
