Everything ballet! - My Tips And Tricks

Hi lovelies!!
It's Jadey! So todays tips and tricks are about strengthing ankles for Pointe :O Something pointe omg.
So let's get into it :)(Btw the background is green bc I feel like green)

#1. Strengthen your arch: So I have pretty good ballet arches in my foot (top and bottom) but my teacher tells me if you have great arches they're normally weak so you have to strengthen them. What I use is a thera band. In Australia you can get thera bands from sports shops or physios. If you can't access them you can look online. I will link the website I would use at the bottom of this post.

The stretch: 1. Sit on the floor and put one leg out. 2. Wrap the thera band around the ball of your foot. 3.Go through your feet like a tendu. So I go: Flex, Demi, Point, Point, Demi, Flex. about 15-25 ties on each foot.

#2. Strengthen your ankles: RISES: So I hold onto a wall, table, barre, door, desk, ETC and do rises. So I just do some rises on both feet together. And then one at a time keep the foot not being used the toe touching my ankle, repeat on both sides.

So those are my tips. If they helped you let me know :) Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
