Thank you for the great advice! My teacher always wants us to wear white to auditions. I think this follows your guidelines very well.

I think hair down is the best for audition pictures.

Comment on Ballet Strength on Alex Wong’s Injury by Bobbi

Cure of tendon injuries is essentially practical. Using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications coupled with Physical Therapy, rest, orthotics or braces, and moderate return to workout is a common therapy. An acronym used to list the remedial treatments in fixing tendinitis is “RICE”: Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate. Resting assists in the prevention of further injury to the tendon. Ice is effective at soothing pain, restricting too much swelling, and stimulating blood circulation after the fact. Compression and elevation both perform similarly to ice in their ability to restrict excessive, unnecessary inflammation.Initial recovery is commonly within 2 to 3 days and full recuperation is within 4 to 6 week.Visit my site to learn more about achilles tendonitis treatment

I was waiting for your review even though I knew you’d love the show. When I die I will probably be reincarnated as a Complexions dancer. Desmond, can I borrow your extension for a day just to know what it feels like? I’m envious that you got to see them. Thanks for the review.

Great tip about the air conditioning. My daughter went to a summer program 2 years ago and there was no air. Definitely had to spend more money on pointes.

Hello!

My name is Tara, I am a personal fitness training student, and I am looking to work with dancers, primarily. I came across your website, and your blog, and I was very interested in what I saw. I was wondering if you had any type of advice for me, both as a student and a pre-professional. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

I guess some questions for you would be: how do I get started working with dancers, where do I go, who would I talk to. That sort of thing!

Thank you so much!!!
