Keep Well and Keep Dancing Even in Cold and Flu Season

The cold and flu season has returned so quickly. How can we prolong becoming a victim, and help our dance peers prolong it too? Following these tips will allow us to have more dancing days in the winter season.

1. Keep warm – Many of us do not like to go inside of a club wearing big and bulky coats. If there is a coat room, then there is no problem. If not, and you still don’t want to take the coat, dress in layers, wear a sweater or two, gloves, scarf, and a hat. These don’t take up too much room, and can fit on your chair or in your shoe bag.

2. WASH YOUR HANDS – Universal rule. Since it is impractical to wear gloves while dancing, try to wash your hands after a couple of dances, or use hand gel between dances.

3. Keep moving – exercise. Salsa qualifies, so you should have no problem here.

4. Take vitamins and probiotics – Really important to take during the winter, as less fruits and vegetables may be eaten during this time of the year. Reports have shown that taking probiotics can increase the body’s resistance to bacterial and viral infections.
