How to safely get back to dancing after a long break

It requires preparation to pick up where you left off in any activity. The same applies to dance. Even if you're good at dancing, resuming it after a long time needs you to prepare your mind and body.

Prepare yourself

Resuming dance gradually

It's ideal to take it slow when getting back to dancing after a long break by revisiting the basics as if you were a beginner.

Accommodating to the changes

The best approach to get your body ready for the physical demands of dancing again is to focus on strengthening, flexibility, and cardio.

Incorporate breathing exercises

Breathing exercises can increase your lung capacity and enhance your resistance to the pressures of dancing.

Ensure safety first

If you're unsure if you're healthy enough to start dancing again after an injury or a health issue, you should get advice from a doctor and let your dance instructor know.

Overcoming the mental blocks

Joining communities encourages you to persevere and pursue your passion in times of demotivation during your comeback.
