  • Are there any exercises that you can do to help you develop a better arch?? I have a normal arch and I think high arches are so much prettier so I was wondering if its possible to raise your arch?

  • depends on your feet - you need to have them properly fitted.

  • @crazywaterbaby1 dance of the little swans

  • I know what the song at the begining is but i can't put a name or composer to it! Anyone know? I'd like to get the full song so i can dance to it :)

  • her feet are sooo cute and tiny =)

  • this is what i need to work on! it's hard for me to pointe my feet properly. it's ridiculous how much though goes into just pointing one's feet!

  • When I do this my toes spread out.

    Is this bad?

    Can it be fixed?

  • @MissLizzanna I'm pretty short too - I'm 21 and everyone thinks I'm fifteen when they first meet me! Although most of the time I don't think of myself as that short becuse all of my friends are gymnasts/cheerleaders/dancers/­vaulters so among my friends I'm pretty average.

  • if you are using your extrinsic muscles too much on releve could that cause knots in the lower ITB and the muscles in the side of the upper calf(don't know thier name)? I get these constantly and just keep massging them out. but they keep coming back. Also I have VERY poor turnout which I am working on.

    I'm not a trained ballet dancer I do Equestrian Vaulting (gymnastics on the back of a moving horse) and Gymnastics. But I do ballet mostly learned from youtube.

  • @lisahowell2 really? I thought she was 8 or 9. How tall is she? she has tiny feet and stature.

  • @ballerina612 ....I have the same thing!! I love it too.
