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.
