Some people are naturally olive skinned, some people like to add to their colour. I would definitely recommend tanning for the bigger comps and festivals. I would always suggest using bronzer to give you some added colour. A nice tan will look fabulous on the dance floor in contrast to a bright costume. It will stop you from looking pastey and washed out and keep you looking bright and energetic.
The 'Dancers' Diet !
A dance comp is normally an all day event, dancing at various points in the day so you’re going to need plenty of energy to keep you going.
What Foods Should a Dancer Eat?
Take time to organise, plan and tan if needed.
Good nutrition should be a goal of every dancer. The body performs at its best when filled with the proper fuel.
Dancing requires lots of energy, so dancers must consume enough calories to keep up with physical demands.
A dancer's diet should consist of a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, and adequate fluids.
Carbohydrates:
Carbohydrates (starches) should compose about 50-65% of a dancer's diet. Carbs are found in foods such as cereal, pasta, bagels, breads and baked potatoes.
