I think that I've discovered what is secretly powering the Ballroom & Latin community... caffeine!
.
Is it true!? What do you think?

Part of being good at Ballroom & Latin Dancing is being good at floorcraft. That's true for competitors and hobby dancers. Floorcraft is a kind of agility, whereby we are capable of changing direction quickly in response to other dancers on the floor. Agility is trainable and you can improve at it with practice. So, improve your floorcraft by adding some agility work into your training.

The humble squat. Great for stength and mobility. Great to support your dancing.

To be more stable in this...
.
...train all 4 sides of your upper body. Planks are great for developing core strength in the posture for dancing.
.
But!!!
.
You have to maintain good posture when you perform Planks, specifically you must align you head, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. Keep the spine neutral.
.
If you struggle with Planks on the ground, use an elevated platform (as shown here). This makes the exercises slightly easier. Some people may struggle with the Back Plank, because of limited shoulder and/or wrist mobility, so work on gently mobilising these joints and strengthening them through greater ranges of motion.

Warming-up before your strength, stamina, and dance training is really beneficial!
.
An appropriate warm up activates the mind-muscle connections, which helps you to generate more power and have better control, it elevates your heart rate to promote blood flow, and it helps to mobilise your joints.
.
If you are warming-up specifically for your dance practice, it's a good idea to do a general warm-up first (think light aerobic work), which lasts around 5 minutes. Then do a skill specific warm-up (think Rumba Walks and repeated Waltz Natural & Reverse Turns).

Intensity is relative.
.
What's easy for you might be difficult for someone else and vice versa.
.
The lesson is...
pick exercises and levels of intensity which are right for you 😉

I want to share this personal achievement with you and also to use this as an example of how life can have other plans.
.
This was my first ever attempt at a 100kg squat. I know that my technique could improve and that there are people who squat much heavier than this. However, for me, this was a big personal achievement and it took me years to get here.
.
Originally, I expected to achieve a 100kg squat over two years ago. But life had other plans.
.
You might be experiencing the same challenges. Sometimes the stresses of life, injuries, family and work commitments might negatively impact your athletic development.
.
It can help to regularly assess your current condition and make a training plan, which fits for you now. You can keep working to your goals, even if you have to go slowly.
.
If you would like help in creating your training plan, get in touch.
