Hi Nicole!  I totally understand your issue and I have experienced this myself, and know of other Yoga teachers who have as well.  It is most likely tendonitis... a flaring up of overused tendons from yes... repetitive movements.  When practicing the dances in particular, there is alot of rehearsing to get the moves right.  So this can lead to over-use.  What I do is three things to minimize the over-use.

1) Do the moves in your mind's eye rather than in the physical. When I was a gymnast, I used to do my uneven bar routine over and over in my mind as my practice.  Studies show this type of rehearsing is just as beneficial as the physical. 

2) Make your moves very small.  For instance, don't lift your arms all the way up, just bend your elbows and raise your forearms.  Reduce full extension of your joints when practicing by keeping your arm movements closer to your body.  

3) Rest is the only way to reduce the pain. Ice can help as well.

I hope these tips help. Sherry
