Health, Wellness and Training

Ginger Tea Recipe

We’re sharing the recipe for a true NBS staple: ginger tea. NBS students and staff can’t get enough of the kitchen’s daily batch of this tea, which highlights the ginger root’s anti-inflammatory properties (that means it’s soothing for sore dancer muscles!). It’s also a great digestive aid.

Vitamin D(ance)

This year, NBS’ Professional Ballet Program students and their parents learned from NBS’ consultants – including physicians and nutritionists - that vitamin D is critical to the development of dancers. This information isn’t just important for dancers – it’s useful for everyone.
