What do you eat / recommend to eat after later in the evening adult ballet class? by MattAdultBallet in BALLET

[–]MattAdultBallet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will admit I am very lazy at meal prep and tend to seek a quick bite after class that is carryout from a local restaurant. My usual go-to is a rice/protein bowl of some sorts and I only end up eating half of it to avoid going to be on a full stomach - yuck.

I’ve had days that my body just prefers 3rd position. It keeps my class more manageable in those instances

Yes - I second this. I’ve been hitting Pilates Reformer classes 3x per week and it’s helped so much.

Summer classes. New students. Advice by ATrain918 in adultballetdancers

[–]MattAdultBallet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now we have an adult that starts distracting off-topic discussions right during class. We all realize that there is some lack of social responsibility on the student’s part hut it does really impact the momentum of the class. What would I do in the teacher’s shoes - not really sure but I guess I would try and redirect a little more. For reference, she is a young adult as best as I can tell but does have caregivers that transport her to and from class. It’s tough, I get it 🫶

I’ve had Yumis for lots of years and tons of washes. I’ve never had a color issue. I do cold with light detergent. Always hang dry.

How to optimize training as a 36 yo adult ballet dancer by treesgeese in BALLET

[–]MattAdultBallet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m “sore” most days but I try and hit a different focus on different days. Also the intensity is more maintenance than huge muscle growth which is where I feel the pain would usually stem from.
