Reasons Proper Feeding Is Important When Preparing For Dance Competitions

By Roger Sanders


The desire of every person is to put the best foot forward on the day of competition. However, some dancers are not sure of exactly what they should do to make sure that their bodies are strong enough on the day of competition. The fact remains you cannot afford to eat every sweet food that comes your way. Proper feeding is good for your health and also will ensure you feel good while on stage which is an important aspect when participating in 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, it is better to prepare your meals at home. This will assure you that you will take healthy meals. You may also need to take your food with you as you travel. However, in case you happen to eat in hotels, be careful of the food that you eat. Avoid giving into cravings that could lead to unhealthy feeding.

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.
