Question:

I REALLY need to deepen my arch: how?

I'm a boy dancer, and I'm not gay, but I see the female dancers and they have arches that are a lot better than mine. Like, soem people can have their toes touch the floor, and mine are 2 inches above the ground! Help please!!!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Heyy! I'm a dancer and i've been told I have a good arch. What I do is stick my feet under a lower couch...something that will stretch the tops of my ankles out. Also, I don't know if it's good for you so i would ask a teacher first, but i always sit on my feet. Apparently it works because I have a good "natural" arch. You can't just deepen your arch by stretching though (but it does help a lot!) you need to make your ankles stonger. Stand on relev㩠or just sit on the ground and point your toes then flex then point again. whatever floats your boat. good luck =]
