My Daily Shuffle Issue 2, 2017 Get up and DANCE! Sum it up! Limber up~ The new section devised by your friendly neighbourhood editors, Get Up and Dance is all about helping you to dance your way up, providing useful bites of information to help you get up and dance better than ever. Have any of your own helpful tips, exercises, moves (anything really) that helped you and you would like to share? Let your friendly ed- itors know and we will try to get it in the next issue! Want to take your dancing to the next level? Improving flexibility can help you get there, but how do you go about it? Here are some tips when stretching to become more limber.  Stretch regularly. If you don’t use it, you loose it, so stretching most days is needed to make an improvement.  Stretch when warm. Stretching cold mus- cles can easily cause injury, so if you’re not warm, go for a jog before stretching.  Relax into it (and out of it). Try to relax your muscles as you stretch them and you will find you can go a bit further. Also, you can injure yourself if you contract over- stretched muscles, so try to keep muscles relaxed when coming out of the stretch.  Use your breathing. Stretch a bit further as you breath out, hold yourself there as you breath in, and then stretch a bit further again as you breath out and repeat. Crack up! Q. What music do ghosts dance to? A.
