Ballet stretching

Everyday stretching is very painful for these little kids, but they work so hard to become real ballet stars of famous russian ballet school.

I'm sorry that you have to wade through a lot of idiotic comments. This training is effective because 1) The child is chosen to have a body to accommodate ballet's demands, 2) The teacher teaches "hands-on" because this is a tradition passed on from their teachers and it is one of the ways that students learn what is expected of their bodies as pre-professionals, 3) It's the easiest way to get the point across. These children take daily and have been primed for this type of movement.

I agree with debhig, this is how ballet dancers train and this is actually very calm compared to how it can be. You must push yourself in order to become AMAZING!!!

Some people simply stretch better than others. I took up Tae Kwon Do at age 20 and learned to do certain stretches and it was NO BIG DEAL, start small and slowly until you are able to do more, just like anything else in life. Those boys are not crying bloody tears from the pains of stretching, they are most likely bored to tears. All the idiots that are complaining are nothing but a bunch of pussies!

if someone stretched me like that, i may actually be as flexible as those girls who can do 270 degree oversplits....

@Barbiebratzgal123 it's not forcing them, the body of the children is more flexible than an adult

It hurts just to watch them, but some of them are smiling.
