How did you injure it? How old are you? How long have you been dancing for? What kind of dancing do you do?
I injured it at a dance competition while i was stretching. i should have warmed up longer but i went into the splits to soon into the warm-up’s I’m afraid. I’m 16 btw. and i do Ballet and Jazz.
How long have you been dancing for?
Then ask your instructor. He/She should be able to explain it because I sure can’t. There doesn’t really seem to be a reason from what you’ve told me. Although I know it is a very bad place to injure.. Personal experience. My sympathy is with you!
well i asked my instructor and she said that hamstrings tend to take a while to heal, and I’ve done everything she’s told me, (hot/cold, stretch, etc) but this is ridiculous. I’m scared ill hurt it again. It’s holding me back from dancing the way i want too.
I’ve been dancing my whole life. My Aunt was a professional Ballet dancer for years and has always been my instructor. If there is one thing I’ve learned ; You HAVE to work through the pain. If it hurts. It’s getting better. Like learning to first stretch so far.
well of course, but it’s an unusual pain and everytime i go into the splits it works up with pain and i try to go farther each time but it feels just like it did the day i hurt it. it scares me, i just dont want to hurt it more. idk
(that’s really cool that your aunt was/is your instructor!)
Not really.. It means I get double the pressure and there is no escape at home lol
Actually.. It is still pretty awesome..
Have you seen a physiotherapist? Would you consider it?
hmm, yes, perhaps I’ll need to go in and get it checked out.
haha, well, at least it forces you too keep dancing hard so you can be amazing lol. very cool.
thank you!
btw, you live in dublin, Ireland? How is it there? is it beautiful? Im just asking (not to be wierd!) but only because it’s my dream to go to Ireland. are you into Celtic music too? (I’m like “obsessed” (i suppose lol) with Ireland and Scotland.
haha.. Yes, despite how much I complain, I love it. It IS BEAUTIFUL!! And we really are wonderful people haha. I like all kinds of music really. Where are you from?
I’m from Canada, eh? haha no i don’t say “eh” but i seriously think i was born in the wrong place. i love everything Irish and I am in love with the music. Celtic Thunder!! woo! i love them. seriously, i have green eyes. c’mon. how much more Irish can you get? lol jk!
I hear Canada is amazing. I know quite a few people who have been
Tell me you know leprechauns aren’t real!!
leprechauns are real..if you believe. haha ok so no. but Ireland is still amazing.
Canada is nothing special. it’s always windy where i live and then the next day could either be super hot, or starts snowing. crazy whether. plus there’s not much to look at when you live on the prairies. lol. idk, i suppose it’s alright. i guess. but i want to experience other cultures too.
I so know what you mean. Itchy feet they call it haha.. The weather here’s cr a p too..
i hear it’s kind of rainy there?
Yup! But the past couple days have been SCORCHING!!
It’s sort of crazy.. It rains and is windy all the time. But then suddenly, it will stop. For like.. Three weeks. And be WAY too hot. Then the rain comes back..
haha yeah i know what you mean. and rain and wind do not mix when it comes to hair! lol. the rain sculpts it and the wind blow drys it like that lol. stupid. so I’m assuming you have an Irish accent then hey? well that’s kind of a stupid question but i love your guys’ accents lol
I dunno.. I suppose I must but I don’t know what that would sound like to you lol
I’m so sorry if i sound odd to you. I’ve just never talked to an Irish citizen before. very cool for me
You don’t. I like your enthusiasm!
haha well thank you. as long as I’m not annoying you
I would stop replying if you were lol
haha well ok. so, are there a lot of festivals where you live? I’ve heard of the matchmaking festival, but i don’t really know a lot about it. but i can kind of guess.
Well I’ve never heard of one..
oh really? so is your city like a (example) new york type of city? like, is it really modernized and stuff? or is it more low key?
It’s sort of.. on it’s way.. There’s town which is fairly modern..ish.. and quite a few shopping centres average one each village.. but it’s nothing like new york..
