How are my arches? http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee13/... http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee13/... P.S. I have very boney feet! The arch itself is pretty, but you arent extending from the tarsals. I suggest getting a theraband and work on strengthening those muscles, otherwise you wont get over the box and youll sickle in the shoe. yep there fine just make sure that in your ballet exercises especially that you always point and stretch your feet as much as poss and you'll be fine too go on points in about a year They look just fine to me! Just make sure that your ankles nice and strong so that you can get on to pointe sooner and keep them looking good. Face it- no one likes a sickled ankle- especially you're teacher. The less time people have to spend checking that, the more time they'll have to look at your nice arch. I'm going on point in like 2 weaks and I know how exiting it is! I cant wait! Ok, so your arches, they still nead a litle work. A realy good strech for youre arches like this, sit on the floor indian style and now put your arm UNDER right leg and grab youre toes from the top. Once youre in this posision youle feol the strech! Hope it helps! those are actually very good arches...i would suggest just to work on toe and ankle strength you should get one of those piates bands and pull it tight around your foot and pointe...this is a great way to help with the strength and then when you go onto pointe you can pop up onto pointe wayy easier (trust me i kno...i had this problem when i first started pointe haha) How much of an arch have you got while just standing up flat? |
