May is Mental Health Awareness Month

 May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it's a great opportunity to focus on mental health in the dance industry. Dancers often put themselves under a lot of pressure to succeed and can easily become overwhelmed by the demands of the industry. While the competition can be exciting and rewarding, it can also be incredibly stressful and taxing.

 Competitive dance is a physically and mentally demanding activity that requires rigorous training, discipline, and dedication. It demands a great deal of time, energy, and money. It’s also a highly competitive environment that can be overwhelming and intimidating for young dancers.

 When taking action, it's important to remember that there are resources to help. Competitive dance can be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, but it’s important to remember to take care of your mental health.
