Welcome to a new 4 part series - Competition Countdown. As dance competition season ramps up into full swing in most parts of North America, this series provides useful and usable content to help dancers, teachers, and parents get the most out of competition season. 

In part 3, you'll learn about rest and recovery during competitions. Knowing what to prioritize when it comes to recovery during competitions can make all the difference in terms of making it to the end of a competition week and still being able to perform at your best. We discuss active, passive and adjunctive types of recovery; and how recovery for competitions should differ from rest & recovery during the regular dance season.
