I came across another Irish dance themed blog all about being in shape for feis. Now if you're not an Irish dancer, the word "feis" is probably one you've never heard before. The word "feis" is Celtic and refers to Irish dance competitions and is pronounced "fesh".
Jeanne, creator of the Are You Feis Fit blog (you can find it here) posts about nutrition and work outs for dancers training for a feis.
One specific post talks about Seven Simple Nutrition Guidelines for Irish Dancers. You can find it here!
What I found most important about this specific post was that the very first guideline was to make sure dancers knew that this was not a "do or die" list and that they should listen to their bodies to learn what is best for them. I also liked the specificity of the second guideline that provided an entire meal plan for dancers to use to their advantage in their training.
These guidelines were perfect for Irish dancers who may be a little lost in navigating diets that might help them in their dancing. I am excited to see what Jeanne posts next!

The Blog to Train
Although the Irish dance world isn't necessarily big, it certainly is competitive. Sure, there are competitor Irish dancers and performance Irish dancers but even the performance dancers need to train like competitive ones! It is all about strong physique to get to where you want to go as an Irish dancer. This goes for all Irish dancers, especially if you're a performance dancer, or even a competitive one, who wants to dance in Riverdance.
I came across a blog called Target Training and it has pointing exercises, cool down routines, a world championship training guide, nutrition, guides to cope with competition nerves, and guides to stay fit over the holidays, just to name a few features. If you're an Irish dancer who needs some guidance, CLICK HERE TO TRAIN!
You can find loads of tips and training exercises there to help you get started. The aim of the training blog is to target, train, and transform. Between the 2019 World Championship Training Guide and a nutrition guide, this blog has everything any kind of Irish dancer could want. The founder and coach, Ellen G. Waller, is more than qualified to help young dancers achieve their dreams with tips ad exercises!
"Long time competitive and professional Irish dancer and instructor, Ellen G. Waller, has dedicated her life to Irish dance. Her talent as a dancer has lead her to perform for thousands across the world and her passion as an Irish dance instructor has influenced innumerable young dancers."
