Merry Christmas to our BU dancers who celebrate it – and a warm and cozy winter day to those who don’t! As 2018 comes to a close, we’re beginning to set our dance goals for 2019.
It’s important to center ourselves and focus on self-care during this time of year…which is why we’re guiding you through the process of setting your New Year’s resolutions for 2k19! These ideas are perfect for any dancer looking for a challenge, or simply an opportunity to work a little harder toward their dreams.
Go en Pointe
If you’re a dedicated ballerina and you’re ready to take the next step, talk to your teacher about taking your training en pointe. It might just be the perfect challenge for the new year!
Do a Full Split
Flexibility doesn’t come naturally to, well….most of us really. Thankfully, your flexibility is something you can easily improve upon in 2019!
Start a Cross-Training Program
Dancers need to keep fit, too – in fact, a lack of muscle strength can put dancers at risk of injury. 2019 might be the perfect year to start a new training program to support your dance technique.
Make a New Dance Friend
While improving your technique is always wonderful, solid dance friends are a must! Joining a new dance class or group on campus can help you meet like-minded dancers – and maybe even lifelong friends.
Sign up for a Dance Class….Outside Your Comfort Zone!
BU Dance is home to many unique classes. From tap to pole fitness, aerial silks to salsa, we guarantee there’s a new flavor of dance here that you probably haven’t tried yet! Register for a class at bu.edu/fitrec/dance – go on, we dare you.
