The Importance Of Having Proper Fitting Dance Wear
Dancing is an art form. It is also an athletic endeavor that requires commitment. That commitment includes understanding the physiology of dance and the requirements of the body to perform at its peak. It also requires the mental focus to remain true to proper rehearsal. As a performance art that is also visual, good dancers must embrace proper fitting dance wear.
Having a dance outfit that fits correctly is important as a dancer. If the outfit does not fit correctly, dancing becomes more difficult. It is harder for the dancer and the instructor to tell if the dancer’s body is maintaining the proper posture, and can become quote uncomfortable.
One of the most important things a dancer can do when buying dance wear is ensure she gets the size that fits her correctly. If the fashion dance wear does not fit correctly, it hinders dance movements. If the apparel is too small, the clothes rub against the dancer’s skin, requiring frequent adjustments that can lead to skin irritation or even infections. Conversely, if the outfit is too large, instructors cannot tell if they are maintaining the proper body positioning.
Incorrect sizing can also become a safety issue for the dancer. In items like jazz pants, if the pants are too long, they will drag on the floor, causing the dancer to trip. In items like skirts, when the skirt is too long, it can become tangled, and also cause the dancer to trip.
But proper fitting dance wear in only part of what’s necessary for achieving higher levels in the dance arts. Practicing and attending classes and rehearsals are also important.
Without attending classes and rehearsals frequently and regularly, dancers will get behind the others in their group. When one dancer falls behind those in the troupe, she will become an unwanted distraction during rehearsals and perhaps at performance time. When dancers are young, this feeling of “standing out” can cause high levels of anxiety and feelings of inadequacies.
Equally important, to become successful, dancers should stretch and practice their skills daily. This will help increase the skill level and flexibility. With daily practice, dancers will become more graceful, and improve on what they can already do more quickly. Stretching also helps prevent injury. As in any activity involving body movement, cold muscles will lead to pulls and tears. In some cases, these preventable injuries can result in diminishing or ending a dancer’s career.
Success awaits those who take the art seriously. That includes understanding the need for proper body preparation, appropriate and frequent practice and the proper choice of costume.

Short-Lived,
As promising as this product sounds, based on our experience it will be short-lived. Here are some facts about the unit and Ion Audio’s business practices (as of 21Dec09) that you should know BEFORE PURCHASING:
1. 90 Day Warranty – that’s about how long it took for our product to systematically malfunction. Our teenagers and we used the unit less than 10 times and never outdoors. You might even say it was pampered. And yet, it won’t hold a charge and now emits no sound at all (regardless of the input device; in our case an iPod(G4 Nano, G1 iPod, and/or G2 iPod Video), microphone, and electric bass guitar).
2. Battery – oddly enough, according to Ion’s own technical support staff (whose contact information was very difficult to find) you can NEVER overcharge the battery or allow it to drain completely, else the battery CANNOT BE REVIVED! Honestly, who builds batteries like that anymore or incorporates them into consumer electronics? We can’t think of a single appliance that we own that doesn’t self regulate. Furthermore, what human is so fastidious as to ever be able to monitor battery life with such expertise? Honestly, unless the device came with a meter, one would never know how close to overcharging or undercharging he actually is. And yet, one slip up and the unit is toast? That’s an old-fashioned technology at best.
3. Repairability – finally, if you’re going to install a battery of this sort or any other component that is likely to fail within 90 days, design and manufacture the unit in a repairman-friendly fashion(eg. easy to access compartments and swappable components). This unit required 22 wood screws to be removed for diagnostic purposes alone and nearly everything inside was soldered. As for the speaker, forget about ever getting to it without destroying the cabinet. You’ll have to dissassemble the entire unit.
Take our advice, stay away from this product until the company addresses these 3 basic issues. We still love the concept, but this product is poorly executed. (Note: As far as we can tell, the: (1) Ion Audio iPA03 Portable PA System, (2) Alesis Transactive Mobile/Portable PA System and (3) PYLE PCMX240I Battery Powered Portable PA System are identical and probably manufactured by the same company, so beware. A lemon by any other name is still a lemon.)
Disappointed,
D & H Shelley
PS: If Ion Audio LLC ever wants to contact us and make things right, we’ll gladly retract this complaint…and may even consider starting a fan club instead. Until then, it’s just a great idea, poorly executed, and frustrating to the consumer.

|iPA03 Portable PA,
I was looking for a portable speaker to drive my iPod loud enough to be heard in an open hangar.
I read a review of the iPA03 in the 9/15/07 Seattle Times and it looked like this would work. I searched on line and found it listed at Best Buy. I was hoping to try it, and pick it up and go. But it had been listed out of stock for some time with no idea when they could get it.
I tried Amazon and immediately found it in stock and ordered. It arrived within 2 days and also delivered more then I expected.
* It was cheaper then at Best Buy.
* It provides a rich full sound for the iPod. I also tried a portable CD played in the RCA plugs and it sounds great.
* It also charges the iPod when it powered by AC. (it also runs on a self container battery.)
* The karaoke function is and added bonus that’s a lot of fun to play with. Just que up the song and back down the volume on the iPod input crank up your volume and you are singing with the stars.
* It’s fairly solid, over 40 lbs on wheels with an airport styled wheelies toater pop up handle.
* It also has a plug in to use as a guitar amp.
* The mike could be used as a PA for meetings, playing harmonica with the music or an anywhere speaker system.
On the needs improvement side the white case is almost too nice looking.
I don’t know how long I can keep it looking that way in our hangar. I wish it also came in black. It wouldn’t show the dirt.
The directions/instructions are worthless.
I saved the review from the Seattle Times 9/15/07 and it was more helpful exploring all the things this unit does.
Overall, I highly recommend this item. It does so many things, and does them well.

|Ion IPA03,
I am using this item as a PA system for wedding ceremonies and it had been ideal. I own a DJ service and many times I am asked to provide music for the ceremony and reception. This is perfect for ceremony and rehearsals without having to set up a complete outfit. It ran on a charge at medium volume(master and ipod vol)for nearly 48 hours. Good value
