Suitable dance clothing?
Hair tied up : eliminate distractions especially during lifts
Leggings / tight clothing : easy to see body shapes
no baggy clothing : no obstructions
Bare feet : no slipping
Three stages of a warm up?
-cardiovascular exercise
- joint mobilisation
-stretching
Why is a warm up necessary in dance?
-increased heart rate: delivers blood and oxygen around body and muscles preparing them for use
-lengthens and stretches muscles and joints masking them more mobile
