Episode 69: Competition Countdown. Part 1 - Preparing for Competition

Welcome to a new 4 part series - Competition Countdown. As dance competition season ramps up into full swing in most parts of North America, this series provides useful and usable content to help dancers, teachers, and parents get the most out of competition season. In part 1, we cover preparing your body (and mind) for competition. I discuss tapering/de-loading in the lead up to competitions, the importance of a proper warm-up prior to taking the stage, and the benefits to using visualization/imagery as part of your competition preparation.Don't forget to like, subscribe and add these episodes to your playlist for competition commutes so you don't miss an episode!Other podcast episodes mentioned:Episode 6: Periodization in DanceEpisode 26: Tips for Tapering in DanceEpisode 17: RAMP Up Your Dance Warm-UpLearn more about Erika Mayall:Follow me on Instagram: @dancephysioerikaLearn more about me on my website: https://www.allegroperformance.comSign up for my newsletter: Click hereSend me an email: [email protected] the show
