I need help!!
Ok I'm going into Highschool and the highschool im going into says that if you do a sport than you don't have to take gym. So I have the choice of track. And i really want to start running on track but im afraid of what rumors i heard like "running is bad for dancers ( i take dance every week. and i've been dancing like forever and i don't want to give it up.)
Are those rumors true?
Is running really bad for dancers?

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
There isn't anything better that u could possibly do, to keep in good shape then running

i dont scientifically know but how would running in track hurt you! all it does is help. it gets you toned, muscullar, and in better shape. of course there is a risk of spraining an ankle or somthing but nothing more.hope it helped

Track isn't necessarily "bad" for dancers but it could jar your leg bones which means they could hit against each other and shorten them a little. But that is not a big deal because that rarely happens but the best sport to improve dancing is swimming. It improves your posture and makes your whole body flexible and strong (especially legs).

Those rumors most likely aren't true because running tones your legs and gets them into shape, which is really good for dancing. I highly doubt track will negatively affect your dancing. Don't listen to the rumors, and just do you. I hope I helped!

Girl. That is so not true.
I am a dancer..been so for 11 years and I dacne a total of 10 hours a week.
Running is actually GOOD for dancers.
You need to stay in shape.
I know I am in shape.
You don't need to give up dancing.
This rumor is a lie. I don't know who told you it. But it's not true.
Sometimes in my class [cuz im on the competition level] we have to do 3 laps around the whole shopping center!
Dancing & Running are very good sports that will keep you healthy!
:D
Hope I helped.

I don't think its true..although it really messed up my dancing because i got a muscle injury and it ended up taking away alot of my flexibility but really it was my own fault because i didn't stretch well enough when i went out for practice in the snow, but as long as you don't compete or anything it should be just fine.
