Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted November 22, 2002 Administrators Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Hello Dee. welcome to Ballet Alert! Online, and especially the Young Dancers' forum The reason you can't post in the YD Stretches and Exercises is that it is not a forum, but an archive. It is a data-base of past topics which are no longer active, so they are "read only". Strengthening the back is really mostly a matter of strengthening the abdominal muscles. Flexibility in the back is built into classes with all of the cambrés that you do While extra work can be most helpful, you really do not need to do a lot of things that are not taught in classes. Ballet classes are designed to build the strength that you need to progress and to do pointe work, if you have good training, enough training, and the physical facility to adapt to pointe.
