The finer details are both physical and conceptual, and improve all your ballet exercises. These tips will also help your pre-pointe work exercises. Long is the goal in ballet, and here are some ways to think of it as a realistic objective.

For example, when a half Plies, pull it upwards. But to make an extra stop that was the strength, think of bending the knees, the maximum participation, and lower your body for a second. So, pull up the bottom of your abs so that your belly moves up your torso and stays there!

This is different to pull the stomach in a knot in package. Whether or not succeed in bending the knees and stay up, lower abdominal obriràs your long and flat. For practice, open and close your knees slightly several times and tried to keep the same level. Then, when you sink when Plies, keep the lower torso long and flat, still pulling up and away from the proposal, leaving the calves relaxation, the concurrence of all, and feet supportedsoil heels firm. If you do this every time you make a Plies, who will make a big difference in the feeling of stretching.

Another place to get an extension is at the top of a release above. Back to the top of the tip or demi pointe. While low heels, pretend they are not decreasing. You pull your heels down, away from your hips and torso. The long stretch your legs, in his mental image, like a rubber band (who are). You are always trying to keep even the heels touching the ground.

At this point, if it continues in a half Plies will be held once again the lower abs, and even how to open the knees, as if they are decreasing.

These are only two places that make a big difference, because the lengthening technique every time you make a Plies or demolish a press above.

This helps to control the pelvis, the position and participation, and get the best I can in the development of long and thin muscles and build strength.
