Every human is enough of a dancer just as they are. However, if you want a career as a professional dancer, it requires a lot of training and practice. Developing consistent good habits is vital to building a solid foundation of physical and mental support for yourself as you grow.
But what are good habits for dancers?
Some habits may help us thrive, while others end up holding us back. Your habits will ideally reflect your goals as a dancer. Take some time to reflect on your current dance goals and how you plan to reach goals.
For example, if your goal is to improve flexibility, your goals include stretching and conditioning for a specific amount of time every week. If you want to be more mindful in your dancing, you might add goals for how often to journal about your experiences.
Once you know your goals, you’ll know which habits can help you get there. Here is a list of dance-related habits to get you started while you brainstorm your own.
- Journaling
- Practice Technique
- Stretching
- Conditioning
- Drink Water
- Eat Healthily
Did we miss anything? Which habits will you add to your list?
By the way, we have created a simple habit tracker you can fill out and use to mark off your daily habits as you work towards your dance goals. It is available to download for free in the People Play Dance Theatre Ko‑fi shop.
So tell us, dancers, which daily habits are you going to keep track of?
