Tips On How To Feed Before The Day Of 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.

Know the food that suits your body and is easy for your body to digest. You do not have to eat food that you are not sure about. When you tell your mind you have had a healthy feeding plan to enable you win the competition, you will surely win. In case you are not able to digest solid food very fast, consider settling with meals that you can easily digest.

You should also avoid eating in a hurry. Being anxious or in a hurry may make dancers feed very fast. This may lead to poor chewing of the food or you may have gas due to swallowing excessive air. You will not want to suffer from indigestion or bloating. Have enough time to eat your meals slowly and mindfully.

After proper feeding, you should also make sure that you take enough fluids. Water is very important to keep your metabolism balanced. The last thing you want is to experience constipation during the big day. However, do not make the mistake of taking too much water or drinks few minutes before the time of 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.
