Try buying these products, a wobble board will help with your core balance as will the exercise ball!.

Don't forget your core muscles!. You need good strength in your abs to hold your posture and keep your body aligned so that you don't lose your balance!.

So don't forget your crunches, and balancing on those horrid balls they have at the gym that wobble all over the place!

Oh !.!.!. and don't forget to practice your turn technique!. I quit dancing a year and a half ago, and I *still* have nightmares about my coach making me spend an entire lesson working on spins and turns!

Add that to what everyone else has said about strengthening your feet and ankles!. It sounds like a lot of work, but it's the only way you're going to get comfortable in your taller body!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1!.stand flat on one foot and posse the other
when u master that for long periods of time!.!.!.
2!.move ur head from left to right
when u master that!.!.!.
3!.close ur eyes

try to do this for at least
10 minutes a dayWww@QuestionHome@Com

usually its hard to balance on your toes if you have weak ankles!. walk around for about half and hour to an hour on your toes only everyday to strengthen your ankles!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
