A Plan For The Holiday Season - Free PDF
Are you unsure about what to do or how to use your time best during the break? Do you know what exercises to practice?
Rest allows dancers or any sportsperson the ability to perform at their peak and to prevent injury.

This article discusses the 2 types of dancers we see to help you determine what is the best plan of action for you during this holiday period.
