Looking for a deodorant/antiperspirant for my chest during workout classes. I would prefer deodorant so it doesn’t stop me from sweating, but want one that doesn’t just mask the bo with a cheap smelling other scent. Is there deodorant that can actually kill the bacteria/stop it from growing without being an antiperspirant? Thanks!
I rely way too much on the barre and at this point I think the only way I’m going to fix that is to lose barre privileges. That being said I really suck at plies, my Achilles heel is quite literally my Achilles heel. If I show up to class acting like I’m too cool for the barre and fall over during the very first exercise, I will need to find a new studio, maybe a new country altogether. Would really appreciate tips on how to get better at grande plies in centre, especially when my heels are not on the ground for very long. Also, what do I do with my arms? Keep the barre arm in second hovering above the barre or move them together? Especially during forward fold and cambre?
I got back into taking tap classes a couple years ago at a local studio in an open level class. Tap was always my favourite and best style when I was younger so even when I started back up again I wasn’t really learning anything new, more just working back my strength and stamina and ability to learn combos quickly. Well a few months ago I realized I don’t really enjoy it as much and I’d kind of resigned myself to thinking it’s just not my favourite anymore which is fine, but then I took a one off class with a different teacher and felt so excited and inspired. It made me realize my enjoyment from tap has always come from the feeling (and the sound!) of when you finally nail a new move or an old move even faster than you thought you could.
We don’t really learn new things in this class, and everything’s done together and to music so I can’t even push myself without comments from the teacher and feeling like I’m trying to show off. It’s honestly like a bunch of little things that have made me want to stop taking this class, but the way I felt taking the class with the other teacher makes me sad at the thought of quitting tap. She doesn’t teach a class, and privates are a little out of the budget at the moment. The closest higher level classes are almost an hour away, plus traffic and gas, plus I’ll be tired on the way home and get home late.
Just wondering how far is common to drive for higher level adult tap classes. Or if there’s anything else, like online classes, to try. Or if anyone can relate to how I’m feeling lol. Thanks :)
I’ve heard my ballet teacher and other ballet teachers online talk about how some people will never be able to go on pointe because they just don’t have the right anatomy. I always thought that since there’s so many types of shoes, there’s theoretically a shoe that accounts for every anatomy. What kind of anatomy would just immediately disqualify someone from ever going on pointe? Is it really that common? Never been on pointe, got close when I was younger but now that I’m older it’s not something I think I would wanna work towards, just trying to get an idea of what people mean when they talk about the wrong anatomy. Thanks!
For those that cut flip flop toe holes in your tights, do you prefer cutting below or above the seam?
Can’t figure out how to automatically connect to CarPlay in my 2026 RAV4. Every time I turn on the car, it automatically connects to my phone but I have to go to settings, select my phone, and slide on the connect to CarPlay. Is there any way to make this happen automatically? I couldn’t find any settings in my phone either. Or make the GPS section automatically go to my CarPlay apps instead of activating a paid subscription?
I have an adult summer intensive coming up in a couple months and I was wondering if it’d be weird to change my leotard halfway through during the break each day? I tend to sweat through them super fast and I’m usually the only person since most others just wear black so I can get a little self conscious, but I also just don’t love the sensation. I just don’t want it to seem like I’m trying to show off all my different leotards or anything like that. Is this something that other people do or would I most likely be the only one?
I really like the finish of Dieux Instant Angel for under my makeup/as my base since I don’t wear foundation. It makes me look luminous but not at all greasy/oily. My only issue (besides the price) is that it just doesn’t keep my skin hydrated for long, and after a few hours I start to feel really dry. I’ve been using a mini but can’t justify repurchasing if it doesn’t even keep my skin hydrated in the summer, but don’t know what to try instead. I’d appreciate if anyone has recommendations to try that have a similar finish but a little longer lasting hydration. Thanks :)
Does anyone have the so danca diamond in sand or suntan? Trying to figure out which to order online since they look lighter than the SD16s in the website pictures.
I just started my 3rd vial on Tuesday, always get it in the same arm every week. Since Friday my upper arm (really only where I get the shot) has been quite sore and achy and it almost feels like it’s getting worse or at least more noticeable. Is this a thing? And if it is, is it a thing I should be worried about or just a sign to switch arms? TIA :)
I ripped out the inside sole of my Bloch elations since they were peeling but now it’s really sticky. I tried wearing them and hoping my sweat would fix things but they were way too sticky, impossible to dance in and hard to peel off after. Any fixes?
I switched from bell to telus and now have two eSIMS on my phone, the “primary” is my old phone number which I want to keep, says it’s under bell, but bell has already cancelled my services. The “secondary” is a new phone number from telus which has mobility. I had gotten a text from bell to confirm transferring my phone number to telus, and on the app it lists my original phone number under my name, but not in my settings. As a result, I can’t make calls unless I switch the primary and secondary, but it will still keep this random number (and my old phone number stays attached to the bell in settings). It’s been about four hours, should I call them back or wait until tomorrow? Or manually edit the phone numbers in settings? Once it switches is the secondary going to magically disappear or what am I waiting to see happen? TIA :)
