There’s no time like the present

There is no time like the present to get your body into shape. The best gift you can give yourself is to take care of your body and use it to it’s fullest potential. There are three very important actions you can do for your body everyday.

1) Stretch – First thing in the morning and anytime throughout the day. Elongate those muscles!!

2) Exercise and Sweating – You don’t have to be fully saturated in sweat but sweating is absolutely wonderful for your skin and for getting rid of all the bad toxins within your body. Exercise is key within itself even exercising 10 to 15 minutes a day can give you dramatic results.

3) Breathe – Be sure to take deep breaths throughout the day! Deep breaths will calm the heart, soul and spirit.

There’s no time like the present, live and love in this moment.

Inspiration Move Me Brightly

Inspiration follows us throughout our lives. It is all around us. We see it in the people passing by us on the street, we see it in people we love and care for, we see it in the art we create; and we hopefully have it as a constant in our lives, at our work places and in the jobs we chose to do. At The Dancer’s Den we decided to create a ‘Tree of Inspiration’ for all who pass through our doors. It not only brings life to a wall that was dull and unseen before but creates a whimsical world for all those to gaze upon it. Art supporting other art is so dynamic. Each art enhances the beauty of the next. As artists we strive to constantly be inspired and to be able to offer extreme amounts of inspiration to the world around us. Be sure to keep inspiration flowing in your world and remember to always keep it moving you brightly.

Underwear for the feet

Amanda — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:55:01 +0000

‘Foot Undeez’ by Capezio at first glance look like doll underwear. With a little education you realize that these small constructed squares of material are actually for the human feet. ‘Foot Undeez’ can be used for many types of dance – primarily the dance forms that go barefoot. Back when I was a young dancer we didn’t have such foot underwear instead we built up our calluses and created a natural shoe for our feet. These days young dancers turn to ‘Foot Undeez’ to help them turn and glide better across the dance floor. ‘Foot Undeez’ slide right on in between your toes and the padded bottom protects your tender paw. They come in many different styles and colors. Next time your in The Dancer’s Den check out our wide selection of ‘Foot Undeez’. These paw pads might not protect your newly pedicured toes but they definitely will keep those pesky calluses away.

To Bow or not to Bow

Luckily, I carry a wide variety of bows that come in all different shapes, sizes and colors and to fit any style of personality. If your little one prefers bows on her skirts we have those as well. Come by and check out our wide selection of hand-crafted bows and skirts made by local artists here in Austin. Remember support the arts!!
