Then I started to wonder, is it bad for youre dancing to ride on horses? dancegirl14 I'm sorry for my bad english ... Quote Link to comment
VBTClara05 Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I don't know if this is true, but I heard horse riding can be very bad for ballet. From what I understand, it turns your feet in, or makes a habit of it. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 As a general rule, it's not great for a career-oriented dancer, but there are far worse things that you could do. Quote Link to comment

tillie Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I don't really know much about this topic but I would assume that by horse riding you would use muscles in a different way which might have an effect if done regularly. I don't really want to say much else on it because I don't know anything about it. And by the way, your english is very good! Quote Link to comment
Guest pointeshoesrox Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I use to ride horses (now I am scared to death!) so I might be able to help. Yes It does turn your feet in witch is one of the bad points of it. But it is a lot like dance. You have a rythem with the horse just like your feet with the music, you have to learn how to feel. What style are you doing?? I use to ride english. If you have any questions I might be able to help. Quote Link to comment
dancegirl14 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 thank you so much for youre answer I'm not going to start ride weekley, so I guess it wont hurt for just a week or two .. It is at a iceland horse senter (the little horses are so cute ). I don't know what style it is. I have heard about some people that startet to do ballet to improve their riding do you know if this work? Just wonder dancegirl14 Quote Link to comment
Guest pointeshoesrox Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I have never heard of people taking ballet to improve their ridding, so I have no clue. Quote Link to comment
