Sweat problem

[QPO]

I think that people who live in places where it can get hot tend to have perspiration more under control... It is just an observation I have no proof.

[elisedance]

That must be it!

[QPO]

I wonder too sometimes if they are slightly overweight that it is not type 2 diabetes as you can have sweat problems associated with that.

If I don't sweat - I know I haven't done enough work!!  Towels are the way forward.

Capezio advertises that their dance wear is made of material that keeps you dry?

[QPO]

I gree there must be a certain amount of perspiration for the output you do! Otherwise it is not a workout 

[elisedance]

It takes a lot of work for me to sweat - sometimes more than to exhaust me

[QPO]

I often find when we go to a comp we don't sweat that much, or are that puffed, I do breath in and out my mouth more of course and get a dry mouth, but most of the time it is under-control

I find it it is humid that it is worse

I think bring an extra shirt can be helpful.

From my own experience, most of the guys I've been danced with sweat much more than me, I don't know if just because men usually sweat much more than woman, I usually don't sweat much unless multiple rounds comp or run-thru.

Last time my partner sweat so much and forgot an extra shirt, our coach came to us and told him that he has to learn how to dance without being sweat. Oh well, I recall from some early posts DSV mentioned that she was trained to dance properly without getting sweat, and I've been told by our coach that body school is the right style for us, so this "trained to dance without sweat" sounds familiar, but he hasn't get into specifications of how to dance without sweat. He says he'll discuss when the time is right.

I've been wondering how does this work since he ever mentioned this, I don't sweat much I guess just my metabolism, there's nothing special training I've been received that not sweat as much as the guys I"ve been danced with. DP had asked me if there's anything special I've been trained not to sweat while dancing, unfortunately I can't give him an answer.

"my partner"

"DP"

[QPO]

yes me too. wondered what had happened in that department 

[Dancerette]

I simply don't sweat much either, maybe it's a Canadian girl thing

My DP on the other hand, sweats...a lot.

I would suggest a small battery operated fan to place on the table, available for purchase at many hardware type stores. Aim it yourself between dances; combined with the "dry wick" shirts previously mentioned, a change of shirts, drinking of ice water, plus a sweat mopping cloth, a night of social dancing can be kept comfortable.

He couldn't bear to wear a singlet, he tried but got so overheated he became nauseous. He's actually very sensitive to heat so has learned to "keep his cool" as much as possible.

[QPO]

me too. I do glow or sorts when I come off the floor but I don't have it dripping. Which is just as well with all that make-up on how do you wipe it off without ruining the make-up

My DP had a huge problem during the competition.

Her makeup somehow irritated her eyes and she ended up squinting, then crying, then blind while we were dancing. We had to pull out of our second category because she couldn't see to compete.

Sooo...any suggestions as to make up or how to keep sweat from irritating eyes, ladies?

[QPO]

Not that I have used it but I have a wax pencil that I can use on my lips to stop my lipstick bleeding, I wonder if you can put it on the top of your brow so it might deflect the perspiration in the eyes.

You have been competing for awhile now, why is she having a problem now or did she change her makeup?

I was looking into this since you mentioned it at the last comp.  Use false eye lashes or waterproof mascara.  You can also buy makeup that is more resistant to sweat.  I have found that Revlon makes some and they sell it at Walmart.  Here are some others and where you can get them.
