When we dance and start to get tired or experiencing fatigue, one of the first things we feel is the body giving up. We feel out of control control or uncoordinated. It’s not about how strong we are, it’s a matter of concentration and relying on your technique.

Here's 5 Tips to Deal and eventually Overcome Fatigue:
1 - Concentration is key.
We need to maintain a high level of mental concentration, but we also need to allow our body to pull back to about 60-70% capacity. To avoid injury while the body is strained and tired, we need to focus and remember proper technique. It is always better to be safe and execute the steps correctly, than to try to push yourself into a place where injury is inevitable.

2 Hydration.
You would be shocked how many people don’t drink enough fluids during intense activity. Water with lemon will replenish lost fluids and electrolytes.

3 Take a break.
Whether it’s during a long day, or during your whole week- give your body and mind a chance to recover. After centre, before you hit the mat, stop for 15-20 minutes and have a banana or an apple with raw nuts (almonds, cashews, or brazilian nuts) before you get back to it.

4 Nurture your body.
Get a massage, go see a physio or an osteopath, spend some time (and money, if need be) on yourself. There are some area we simply can not reach on our own. These professionals are trained to get the most fatigued spots of the body to release and recover.

5 Get Inspired.
Do something different, find something to work your mind instead your body. When our mind is active and inspired, our body will respond with more energy and more determination when we return to dancing.

I always get tired whenever I dance for over 1 hour, I start shaking and my dancing looks so sloppy. I wish I could dance all the time, but I get so tired. I think I eat too little... but my appetite is almost non-existence. Do you have any tips on what type of foods to eat that gives you lots of energy?

I get a bit frustrated because I cant do certain things at the end of my dance just because im tired, the hardest part is at the end! Its ok though I will keep pushing and try my hardest

Dear Alessia,
I hope you're doing well. I have something to tell you and i was wondering if you can help me :-"
I'm 15 and I've been dancing since i was 12. (Actually i started dancing when i was 4 but after 5 years i had to stop cause i live in Iran and at that time we didn't have a good teacher.)
Isn't it too late to start ballet at this age?
I feel like i can't become a good ballerina (even though i'm the best in class).
There are loads of things i have to work on them and i don't know from where should i start!
Aslo, i have a low confidence and i'm not satisfied with my body (sometimes i feel like my body is so heavy i can't move it and it makes me want to cry!)
I don't really know what should i do!
I love ballet and i want to become a pro but sometimes i feel it's just a dream that i can never get to it.
It will be great if you can give me some advice :")

Wish you the best,
Negar
P.s: sorry if i had some mistakes. my English is not that good i'm still learning!😂
