Is it a choreo problem, or a tired-body problem?
Rehearsal season can feel like chaos - weekend comps, extra rehearsals, tired dancers, and 'silent' injuries that don’t stop your dancers dancing… but can stop them reaching their full potential.In this episode, I’m breaking down a simple tool used in high-performance sport that you can use in the dance studio straight away: RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion). You’ll learn what it is, why it’s research-backed, and how to use it to manage training load, reduce burnout risk, and set healthier expectations for dancers during comp/show season.What You'll LearnThe difference between a choreo problem and a tired-body problemWhy 'running it again' can create more mistakes, more stress, and more injury risk What silent injuries / yellow flags look like in classWhat RPE is (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and how it worksHow RPE helps you manage energy, reduce burnout risk, and protect performanceA simple 'do this next rehearsal' system for collecting and using RPEHow to use RPE to communicate with parents without the guilt or the pushbackIf you would like access to the Rehearsal Menu: our approach in navigating rehearsals based on RPE, then you can find it inside our online Studio Essentials membership.

The show must go on ... right? Understanding Pain in Dance
Welcome to Athletic Artist: The Dancers Podcast!This week, we're diving deep into a topic that's all too familiar for dancers: pain. The phrase "the show must go on" is often thrown around, but what happens when pushing through pain becomes the norm? We're unpacking the complex relationship between dancers and pain, exploring the difference between good pain and bad pain, and giving you the tools to understand your body better.We'll start by differentiating between injury pain and performance pain. How do you know when you're pushing your limits versus putting yourself at risk? We'll discuss the common reasons why dancers experience pain, including:Body Awareness: Are you truly in tune with your body's signals?Achieving Physical Ideals: The pressure to conform to certain body types can lead to unhealthy practices.Doing Things Beyond Capability: Pushing too hard, too fast, can have serious consequences.Mechanical Misalignment: Proper alignment is crucial for injury prevention.Repetitive Movements: The nature of dance can put stress on certain joints and muscles.Overtraining: Rest and recovery are just as important as practice.But what should you be feeling in your body? We'll explore the sensations that indicate healthy muscle engagement and the difference between discomfort and true pain. Crucially, we'll discuss how to know your limits and when it's time to take a step back. Ignoring pain can lead to long-term injuries, so understanding your body's signals is paramount.Join us this week as we discuss how to prioritise your health and well-being whilst still pursuing your passion for dance.
