Back to Classical Roots!

I only did Ballet today. It was a really good class and we did heaps of jumping. Its amazing how many moves in Ballet are so similar to some of the moves in hip hop. All the gliding in hip hop I will learn in Ballet! It is definitely a foundational dance technique and so good for being a great overall dancer. Look out, cos cool moves are a comin!

I gave myself the chance to take a morning off training today and did the lunchtime Ballet class, and nothing in the evening. I felt the need for resting my body after feeling a twinge in my knee in the hip hop house class last night. No need to rush it and injure myself early I say. I always listen to my body and all the signs of over training and any niggles need to be taken care of straight away before they turn into injuries.

I am doing a specific kind of training each morning called the Egoscue Method - www.egoscue.com, its really good and gives you the strongest foundation possible for training.

Pete Egoscue is a world expert at having your muscles and joints be completely balanced and work the way they are meant to. You can get an app for your iphone that I have and it has all his exercises. I am going to do his exercises for about 6 weeks to make sure I have the strongest foundation to go hard at my dancing.
