Sleep is more than simply resting the body. Under the skin of well defined calves is powerful processes reshaping and strengthening your body. During sleep, the body recharges its various systems and improves the respective functioning of organs and systems. The human body is designed to detoxify, repair and heal during sleep.

If you lie in bed awake rehashing errors, or worried about choreography, you are missing out on valuable time not only for sleep but for muscle memory development.

However, you must sleep long enough and deep enough. Powerful nightly forces stabilize your energy, help you to keep your mind focused, your body healthier and -- ready to dance!

All human beings are programmed to experience restorative nightly cyles. Because rigorous dance practice stresses the 'entire body,' you need to rest and sleep, in order to restore and to recharge your systems. Mind and body work together.  Wakefulness and Sleep work together.
