Your legs will extend higher as your muscles strengthen; it's not just about flexibility. The strength to lift your leg high comes mainly from your core muscles. Strengthen your core by doing lots of abdominal exercises (sit ups, crunches etc.) and add a Pilates class to your dance curriculum. Pilates is great for core strength and flexibility and is wonderful for dancers. Your leg extensions will greatly improve over time, guaranteed!

Youtube.com has some great ballet stretching videos. :)
