What To Do You Do When You’re Not Dancing?

As dancers, when we’re not dancing we’re probably doing school, eating, or sleeping. But I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had time to ourselves at some point in our lives. So what can we do when we’re not dancing? Here’s what our dance community said:

1. “Create jewelry” - @ellie_dancer_07

2. “Bake” - @layla_loves_to_dance

3. “Pilates” - @pilates_fit

Need a few more ideas? Maybe try one of these:

1. Stretch

We can always be more flexible, right?

2. Learn an instrument

Who doesn’t want to play the guitar, ukelele, piano, or even the flute?

3. Work ahead in school

Not a fun one, but if you have late dance nights, this may come in handy.

4. Read

It could be a comic book, fantasy, or nonfiction!

5. Watch a movie

Who wants to pop popcorn and watch a rom-com!?

6. Hang out with friends

Now you finally have the time!

7. Binge watch a TV show

See if that TV show you keep seeing advertised is any good!

8. Shop

Who doesn’t want to go shopping!?

9. Discover a new hobby

Do you like to paint, draw, or write?

10. Volunteer

Could be a pet shelter or home shelter, it is always good to help someone!

Hopefully you found something to try out in the freetime you have!
