FouetteFanatic Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Yesterday after pointe class I told my teacher that I didn't feel like I was getting over my pointe shoes. She said that I was all the way over my shoes (the best shoe that she has seen on my foot, thanks Ms. DeVor) but that I was putting all the support on the outside of my foot and leaning towards that side because it's stronger. She said that I need to strech and strengthen the insde of my foot and arch. Is there a strech that can help improve my feet? I've been rolling a tennis ball on my arches and streching my feet with a thera band. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 The exercises are called the tendu, the degagé, the frappé, the pas de cheval and the position sur-le-cou-de-pied, at all times making sure that the foot is pointing straight and that there is a straight line between the knee and the point of the big toe. While exercising with a theraband, make sure that you are not reinforcing sickling (in OR out). Quote Link to comment
