Performance Time!
Hey ya'll!
Ok. So we all know that around the holidays we all have a ton of performances: either the nutcracker, competitions, or other performances that your studios do. Right around the time of said performance, your teacher(s) always tell you to watch what you are eating so that you are perfectly fit and able to dance your best on the performance date. But what exactly are we supposed to do to make sure this happens?
Performance, Nutcracker, competition, holidays, workouts, food, stretch (all tags)
