My dance tutor could hardly move due to aching legs

Hi Yes, I'm a student of Ballroom Dance. I've done both Modern, Latin American & New Vogue dance styles as well. I've passed the National exams here for Bronze level of achievement, which took many years. I've also completed a multitude of tests & graded performances over the years. I used to dance at social events for more than eight hours & felt great afterwards. I've never had a massage in my life. I'm not sure what energetic dancing involves... can you please explain?

Oh, I know this feeling. It' s really bad, especially when the tutor has it. Well, it's a lesson that everyone can suffer from these pains, too, and you should not overburden your organisation and body.

I have done work where my arms were tired, but not being a dancer, I do not have that problem with my legs. I have had sore feet from wearing the wrong type or size of shoes. I do a little dancing for fun, but not so much I would hurt myself, but I have heard of dancers dancing until their feet are bleeding and wonder how they do it without stopping and screaming. I did have a relaxing massage. I was tense and my shoulders were hurting.

I can get to aching over just about nothing and I've had some lovely massages... and I believe I've said in the past that I took ball room dancing in middle school, but I really can't remember much about it other than the fact that my parents thought it was important... can't remember most of it.

No I never join any dancing classes. The one I joined was a self defence art. It was like dancing but the movement was more like a fighting style. Have you seen Kung Fu sequence? It's more or less like that. Relaxing is important to relieve stiffness. I do that once in two months.

I love aromatherapy massageand spa. It was a great relieve. The refreshing aroma is so relaxing for mind and soul. During the mega shopping sales, our feet are aching and when we have the opportunity to sit on the massage chair, it really makes our muscle relax and we truly feel great. I have not done any exhausted dancing, I think I will be too tired and run out of energy even to dance more than an hour.

When I was in my twenties, I thought nothing of going to the gym 5 times a week, and for long periods too, sometimes for 2 hours, now as I have got older, I can only manage 3 times a week, I remember trying to go four times and I did my left shoulder in really badly, the result was I couldn't use it, which meant I had to avoid using particular machines, it hampered me a great deal, I didn't realize just how I'd damaged it, that was back in October 2012, it's still not 100%. I have also noticed that I cannot stay for 2 hours now, and I have also noticed that I am not putting on the muscle as much as I used to. I really wish I could go 5 times or even 4, but 3 is the max. 8 hours dancing seems rather extreme doesn't it? She must have the stamina.

Hi maximax8, I did have worn out for suffering from aching on my left upper arm. I quit the part time job that needed lots of nonstop typing and writing then. I relaxed myself at home free from the disgusting exhausted work. I had mild massage regularly One of my friends did invite me many times to join her line dance group. I didn't accept her hospitable invitation for afraid that I couldn't take time off to join them Have a nice day

generally these due to heavy exercise and dancing alot of time every one who in young age do too much exercise and suddently drop face these trouble ,so if u want to make happy do dance pracise regularly and take rest too
