do loads of extra barre work - lots of grand battement for flexibility and keeping hips straight and lots of developpe and holding it for leg strencth!.

also if your going to use battement in assembles or scison (sp) do lots of preparation for battement excersises like petit battement and ceres (sp)

all of these will help your muscles for either height, speed or flexibility but you need to do alot of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
