Here Are the Dance Highlights of Tomorrow's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

It isn’t really Turkey Day unless the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is on in the background as you’re arguing with Aunt Linda about why she shouldn’t put the stuffing in the bird (E. COLI FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!). And since the Parade is celebrating its 90th birthday this year, the lineup is packed with extra-special, […]

Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Dance Spirit

Hi friends! It’s Thanksgiving, that day when we gather with our families to eat turkey, and watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and maybe eat some more turkey, and watch football, and definitely eat a little more turkey.

#ThanksgivingDanceWars Part 2

Last year, we saw the first ever Instagram #Thanksgivingdancewars, courtesy of former “Dancing with the Stars” partners Maria Menounos and Derek Hough.

Bye-Bye Bloat

News flash: You’re probably going to overindulge a bit on Thanksgiving—and that’s OK! Ultimately, a single day of eating too much has very little impact on your health. That said, the very full feeling you have immediately post-feast can be pretty awful. Bloating, cramping, gas—they’re not the most pleasant sensations. We turned to Giulia Pline, […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for these puppies. So thankful for these puppies… Between the turkey, the gravy, the stuffing, the desserts and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, there’s a lot to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day. But take a moment today to think about things in the bigger picture you’re thankful for, like finally nailing […]

Turkey Day Troubles? + Chewing Gum + Anti-Inflammatory Drugs

(iStock) TURKEY DAY TROUBLES? A four-day weekend of feasting with family is supposed to be an all-around good thing. But if you’re a serious dancer, the stress of spending Thanksgiving away from your training regimen might leave you feeling less than thankful for the time off. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to make the […]
