Question: How do people who do ballet get their feet to bend so far back!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Most ballet dancers with really high arches (feet that bend back far) have been training for years and have been taught how to have a strong point, and have practiced for along time!. It is mostly from years of training and practice though!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not all people can bend their feet so far back!. People with really flexible arches can do it like me!. i have to get extra hard shanks for pointe shoes and i still kill them after a few weeks!. so not all dancers have really bendy feet most dancers dont!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

years of practice lol when u have been doing ballet for a while ur feet are really flexible they can do some amazing stuff!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't have good ballet feet but they've gotten better over the years!. You just need to work hard but don't hurt your body! Www@QuestionHome@Com
