To anybody who is thinking about starting ballet at an older age, just remember the amazing Misty Copeland started at 13!! You always have a chance to catch up and be great if you are dedicated and hard working! No age is too late!

"This is a really hard exercise." Yes it is. I can do the hip flexor exercise...until I try to straighten my knee. Then the shaking begins and then the cramping of my upper quads. I strongly believe that if you didn't grow up working on this exercise, it is very difficult to get your legs above 90 degrees. SO hard. But thanks for sharing this. I will be working on it!

Hi Claudia! I’m 13 years old and have absolutely no training in any form of dance. However I am very flexible and have great leg and core muscles! I love to dance and the reason I don’t have any training is because my parents simply can’t afford it. However I like to self teach myself techniques and tricks at home with the help of your videos!! Your videos really do help me with my flexibility and my technique. I hope one day that I will be able to dance at a studio!! Thanks for these videos they inspire me to keep going!!!♥️♥️

The 'dot' that is being activated with the 'adductor' muscles is the vastus medialis which is part of the quadriceps.... not the hamstring. I can't see how the hamstring is responsible in extensions? Sure the hamstrings are an antagonist in extension but that means they are not responsible for the 'effort', only the lengthening... hip flexion with adduction will activate vastus medialis, rectus femoris, iliacus, psoas major, sartotius and gracillus.

im 46! exercises one and two. ive been doing barre 3 times a week since march and cant get my develope above hip height without losing proper alignement.

@MJLionnavy 7 жыл бұрын

If you just started on march for the first time, it looks like you are still a beginner, and I think it's perfectly normal you can't get your extensions higher than 90 degrees. I'd even say it's normal you can't get them much higher than 45 degrees, depending on how flexible you are and what kind of physical activity you did before. Progress on that aspect is much slower than we'd like and I think it's best to focus on proper alignment and execution rather than height.

@MJLionnavy 7 жыл бұрын

P Heart Sure! I'm a contemporary dance student that started late, and I remember getting really frustrated at things like that, but at the same time I was arrogant and I neglected other essential aspects of my ballet training, and because of that I'm stuck between begginner and intermediate, I need to catch up on a few things. If I could go back I'd tell myself not to stress about height of extensions, just work the right muscles, learn the combinations and then height will come.

I used to have higher extensions but having babies (which I've had a few years of a ballet dancing break) really changed a lot of my muscular shape and what not. Any advice on how to "retrain" or bounce back would be awesome! I've been doing some barre and center work for the past year or so more consistently and I'm finding that my left hip is harder to work with. lol! I feel better since starting but I'm still working on my turnout and extension and just being stronger. Anyways, thanks for any advice. :)

Kat3kob I think they're Bloch canvas shoes ?

@dynamitedancers4564 7 жыл бұрын

The Bloch Canvas spilt soles. I have a pair and they are amazing. They really allow for more arch flexibility. If you are going to get them though I would recommend getting one width size down from your normal shoes if you normally use leather. For example, I'm a 5C in Bloch Leather, but in the Bloch Canvas the 5B fits me best. Hope this helps!

Hi I am 16 and struggling with jumps for ballet. I also find that I grip my thighs in turnout and am having difficulty toning the bum for ballet properly! Also if you have any tips for aligning feet and ankles as my feet are really arched which means i struggle on pointe in terms of strength! Thank you!

I'm 19 but have really weak muscles and can't really develop either of my legs higher than 90 degrees in devant or second. I was thinking of try excercises 2 and 3 and maybe 4 so how many times would you recommend reps every day. Thank you :)

@ClaudiaDeanWorld 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Kimberley, I would recommend you do exercises 2 , 3 & 4 and do 12 of each on both legs to start with. After they become easier over a few months then increase to 15-17 X CD

Jane Hervilla try doing the splits but bend your front knee putting your foot underneath your thigh do this for about one minute on each leg and it should help stretch out your hip flexors. This should also make your splits easier
