Tips On How To Feed Before The Day Of Dance Competitions

By Roger Sanders


For you to get an opportunity to participate in a dancing competition, you must be a great dancer. However, you will be competing with other great dancers as well. What you do different is what will set you apart from the other great dancers you will be competing with. Like any other competition, you have to do things right if you are to emerge a winner in the dance competition that awaits you. Proper feeding in particular is important during the week before the big day and on the day of dance competitions.

Just like you plan for your practice and rehearsals, it is also important to have a feeding plan. You should not put your plan in in your head as you are likely to forget. Come up with a timetable on how you will feed and tick every time you follow the plan. This will ensure that you do not do things contrary to the plan.

After drawing the timetable, make sure that you have the food included on your timetable at your disposal. Start with the new food that you would like to introduce on your timetable. This will ensure you have time to test how your body reacts to this food. Avoid trying new food two days to the day of competition. The last thing you want is a stomach upset.

Being a dancer will require you to know your body well. Although your body may behave differently due to the anxiety that comes with preparing for a competition, it should not be a reason for you to skip meals or to feed on junk or food that does not go well with your body. B you the end of the day, proper feeding will give you the confidence that you need to perform well on stage.

It is possible for you to eat in a hurry due to anxiety. This is because during the last week to the competition day, time seems to run very fast. You may find yourself with too much to do and little time to do it. However, you should give yourself at least thirty minutes to eat your meals. This will help prevent bloating, indigestion and gas.

You should also remember to hydrate your body in the right way. Being hydrated in the right way will ensure that you perform optimally. If you are dehydrated, you may suffer from muscle cramping, headaches, nausea, and lack of energy. If you feel thirsty, it is an indication of dehydration. You should however avoid taking too much water few hours before the competition.

During the last week to the competition day, you should avoid eating out, in case you are travelling, it is important to carry your own food rather than eat in hotels. However, in case you are not able to have your own meals, make sure you do not eat any food that you come across. Be keen when eating in hotels.

You should also remember that your body needs time to relax. Do not spend the whole night practicing on the eve of the competition day. Sleep early to ensure you wake up energetic enough to give your best shot on the day of competition.
