    A few days in the life of a professional ballet dancer! It's been a while since I've shown you my ballet days and luckily my schedule is starting to pick up. I have classes and rehearsals but I also showed you guys how a ballet dancer trains and takes care of their bodies on their off time. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I love you guys, Ciao.
    XOXO,

    Congratulations on your renewed contract with Stuttgart Ballet! It gives you a better chance to improve your facility with the German language ... the longer you spend there, the more fluent you will become. Plus you come across as someone who genuinely enjoys ballet, and so I am glad you get to continue doing what you enjoy! Alles Gut!

    His double-speed explanation of the contract process made me laugh! His enthusiasm is infectious! After watching several of Tristan's videos, I found myself wishing that these self-video options had been around when Roberto Bolle (my favorite male dancer) was the same age. Would have been fascinating to see what this great danseur was like at that age.

    Sounds like you may have shin splints, hun!!! 👀 Owie!!
    Definitely see physio, but in the mean time, go out and buy those little disposable paper cups that are usually kept in bathrooms to rinse your mouth w after brushing or take medicine w, like the Dixie brand - just don’t know what the brand would be in Germany.
    Fill the cups up w water, put them on a cookie tray and lay them in your freezer to freeze. Once they’ve all frozen, you can take them off the cookie sheet and put them in a ziploc bag so it doesn’t take up as much space & they’re easy to grab and don’t end up falling all over your freezer!
    After you come home for the day or any time you’re having more trouble and pain, take a cup and peel back the lip of it until it exposes the frozen ice popping out of the top like a push pop. Then you’re going to give yourself an ice massage and rub that ice up and down your shins, w pressure to work everything out, as well as right beside the shin - on each side. Warning, this is going to hurt if you’re doing it correctly- it’s not fun at all and is very painful, esp if you have lots of shin splints or they’re really bad! 🙊
    You’re going to want to do the ice massage and rolling for a bare minimum of 15 min each leg, but longer is better.
    While it may hurt at the time, it does provide relief after you keep doing this regularly and you’ll really feel the benefits when dancing....but even just standing, walking, etc!
    You’re also going to want to make sure to thoroughly warm up, making sure to warm your feet, ankles, calves & legs really good (well, warm up everywhere really good - but you know what I mean, warm up your legs more than normal and stretch more than normal!) before any classes or rehearsals and esp before you do any jumps - even if you’re still in class, give yourself a mini warm up in the back while the first group is going or when the teacher is giving the combination or whenever you can basically!
    You’re also going to want to stretch A LOT.....during and after every class and rehearsal, before and after you do any jumps, stretch out your calves and all the various leg muscles you can, every chance you can, multiple times a day - even when you’re not dancing, right before you go to bed to end the day and right when you wake up to start the day!!
    There’s really not much else you can do for shin splints! I’ve been retired for a few years now and I still have shin splints that bother the hell out of me.....even doing non-ballet related things! They’re super painful and annoying as hell! So since you seem like you’re first developing them, get to work on treating them!
    Also, pay extra careful attention that you’re getting your heels all the way down when doing any jumping and that you’re not popping your heels at any point! This can make shin splints even worse or actually cause new ones!!
    Merde, hope this helps! Don’t let them get out on control, you’ll regret it - trust me!!
