Pregnant Ballet Dancers?

Question

Is there anyone out there that is a dancer and is pregnant but still goes to class? I want to go back to class but I hadn't worked out in 6 months and I really can't live without dancing for another 6. I know I should stay away from jetes but are there any other across the floor or barre work i shouldn't do? Also, as I get bigger, should I even attempt adagios? I'm only 3 months along, but was told my balance will be off pretty soon!

Answer 1

You can still go to class for a while. Just take it easy. I'm assuming your teacher already knows your situation by now?

Don't do big jumps. You can do plies and stretches and releves and such, but don't attempt anything too strenuous.  

Answer 2

Um....my teacher was pregnant and she was fine. Dont do alot of work and if you feel that you are pressing it to far then take a breather. Your balance will be off so just hold onto the barre.

Good luck!!!
