Took a week off at 30+

I took a week off. 7 days later I came back to class and felt like I couldn’t do anything!!! My legs were so low, my stamina was gone… I couldn’t get off the ground.

I’m 31. It feels so so rough. I know it didn’t used to be like this lol.

To my “older” dancers- when did you feel like recovery got harder? Was there an age where you felt like you had to lessen the intensity?

I feel like seeing some dancers like Ashley bouder lose their jump/technique has scared me. I know she’s around 40.

Can anyone else relate?
