Melissa Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Sorry, I wasn't sure where to put this but...... First off, my ankles won't warm up until I'm almost done with barre work or at least I don't think they're warmed up. Is that strange???? In the mornings my ankles are tight and sore. Any help? Thanks. best wishes Melissa Edited May 25, 2011 by Melissa Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted May 17, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Yes, it is strange, because the tendus and dégagés and demi pliés should do that. You might need a little pre-barre stretching of your feet. Just sit on the floor and gently point and flex each foot, being sure to keep them straight and not sickled. If you have a theraband, using that to stretch them could help, too. Melissa, we have very strict rules here on Ballet Talk for Dancers, and one of them is to write your posts as correctly as possible. This would include using capital letters and punctuation. You could practice by editing your post, above! Quote Link to comment
Melissa Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Okay. Thank you so much, I just came back from ballet and I did the Pre barre warm stuff you suggested and it helped so much. Thank again. best Wishes melissa Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted May 18, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Glad it helped, Melissa. Most dancers have some specific things they like and/or need to do before classes begin. Quote Link to comment
