dobby Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi, i have a small problem since i started to dance ballet my rigth leg have always been my favorite one. My teacher thinks that when we do grand jetes in class that my leg(i think it´s the left one) is a little unfexible. I do feel that my rigth leg is better then the left, when i strech i always put one leg in front of me and the other crossed next to me. Should i do more of that with my left leg or should i sit in a split? Which streching is affective on the left leg Quote Link to comment
Serendipity Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 To get better, you have to work the parts that are weak. That means doing more with your weaker leg to try to bring it closer to the level of your stronger one. I have one "smart leg" and one "dumb leg" as well - I think we all do. Fortunately, there's not that great deal of a difference, but I will say that they have switched sides. Used to be my left was smarter and stronger. Now it's the right. I know this happened because my right one had to have a lot of physical therapy after I broke the ankle. Naturally, it became stronger. So I am now at the gym trying to push my left leg and foot to the strength level of the right one. It's not easy! Quote Link to comment
dobby Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks for the replay Sorry about your ankle We do the same practice on both sides in class but i don´t use the left leg as much as the rigth. But from now on it will change i will work hard on both of my legs. Nothings easy in ballet but after a while it gets easier Thanks again Quote Link to comment
