Proper Hydration

Adequate hydration is crucial if you wish to dance to the best of your abilities.  It not only boosts physical performance, but aids in concentration as well.
Dehydration can be dangerous, causing a lack of energy that could possibly lead to injury.  Loss of fluid happens when water is taken out of cells, which leads to the cells shrinking and ceasing to effectively provide energy.  This is more likely to occur when exercising, because physical activity creates sweat.
If your a dancer remember to bring water bottles to class.  This is a good habit to form for any type of exercise, whether it's running on the treadmill or lifting weights.  It's especially important to remember this now during these hot summer months.
