Guest dancingforever Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I have one more week of school before spring break, and I'm getting worried about getting out of shape. My classes are off for a week, and though there are adult open classes that I could take, a good friend of mine is visiting and it would be rude to leave her to go take class. What should I do? Just stretch, strengthen on my own and not stress or have a workout plan? Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 A week is practically no time at all, and occasionally you need these breaks, just for your own physical and mental health. If you want to do a little rudimentary barre work at home and a few stretches, you should be able to return to class with little or no impairment. Quote Link to comment
Guest pointe2dtop Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) You'll be ok! I recommend NYC ballet DVDs. Edited March 15, 2004 by Mel Johnson Quote Link to comment
ABTBluebird Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 during breaks I usually do the nycb workouts, and I have a david howard class on tape, and I'll just turn on my ballet class music tape that I have and do some barre. I also just turnon some music and dance!! Quote Link to comment
Dancing on my toes Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Well it's only a week, so if you stretch and maybe give yourself a little barre you'll be ok! Quote Link to comment
vrsfanatic Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 There are no "maybes". Major Johnson's advice is the one to follow. Take the week off, enjoy you time with your non-dancing friend. Get away from it. A week is nothing. The time away will do your mind and body good. Quote Link to comment
