Springing Into Full Bloom

It’s that time of year where we’re jumping for Springtime joy, leaping through allergy season, and making bounds through fields of flowers. 


Okay, so maybe that last one only happens during daydreaming, but you get the picture: warm weather is coming and the world is recovering from winter’s cabin fever.  With an overabundance of energy, dancers are channeling positive energy into a heavy performance season.  Unfortunately this energy can also twist ankles, sprain backs, and produce many other injuries which dancers tend to baby for a solid five minutes before prancing back into rehearsals.  This is the perfect way to re-injure or show loathing frustration towards our bodies.  Sara reminds us about being stubborn with injuries



"Our body speaks to us, but not by words, by feeling. An injury or something hurting us is a way our body is telling us to S  L  O  W    D  O  W  N and take care of ourselves. We are dancers. Our body is the instrument. If the instrument does not get proper care, there can be no song!"
