Hydration, It’s More Than Just Water

Rachel Fine, MS, RD, CSSD, CDN

In a brightly lit dance studio at Steps on Broadway, with light pouring in from the windows onto the light gray marley, Nancy Bielski stands with a teenage female student at the barre, gently holding the student's foot in croisè attitude devant with her left hand, her right hand gently touching the student's left side. Nancy, dressed in a black long sleeve shirt, black wrap skirt and cropped leggings, with light pink ballet flats, stands casually between the student and the barre as she smiles toward the camera. The student, dressed in a periwinkle and light pink camisole leotard, pink ballet tights, black athletic shorts, cream colored legwarmers and pink pointe shoes, holds the barre with her left hand as she poses in croisè attitude devant. Her head turns slightly on the diagonal to look out past her right arm, held in fifth en haut, her dark brown hair pulled back in a bun.
