I really want to go on point shoes but im only a begginer almost advance im hoping to get on point by the end of the year. What other stretches are there besides point flex and hold in demi point to strengthen my ankles?
I can totally relate to you. I have been in ballet for 10 years and I also am waiting to go on point. My dannce teacher is always complaining that I have weak ankles and that I am all stretched out because I’m really flexible. Ok, so get marbles and a plastic container and pick the marbles up on by one and, just by moving your ankle, put them into the container. It works very well. Or get Elasca bands which you put around your ankles and just point and fllex, it helped tramendously! And lastly just stand on one foot with the other in coupe and rise up and down very slowly (it also strengthens your calves!) Have fun!
