taking a break?
I've been dancing 4 days/week for a few months plus working another job on a freelance basis. Soon, I'm going to stop taking freelance assignments for a while and concentrate on dancing 5 days/week. I'd like to take a little time off before I do that. Quit smoking, do some fasting/detox, and generally regroup.
I'm wondering how often ya'll give yourselves a break from dancing, how long you're off and what you do in your time off to feel rested. What's a good time to take a break? This is the busy season here, so I want to hold off for a while, or maybe take the last week of the month, when things tend to be slow anyway.

Re: taking a break?
thanksgiving (th-Sun) and the last week of December are good to take off....then January.
I usually give myself 1-2 weeks every 3 months, but I force myself to take an actual trip to really feel like I'm getting away. I took the first week of September off. I plan on taking a week in January again to go to the caribbean or something. I figure by then I'll be sick of the cold.

Re: taking a break?
any time around a holiday is usually a good (slow) time to take off. also, people tend to be tighter with their money around the start and the end of the month, sosometimes that can be a better time to take off than the middle of the month.
