Ballet body proportion requirements
Don't be too high, and spread your hands horizontally at your sides. The distance between two fingertips is equal to the length of the body. The leg length (from the thigh root, not from the waist) is more than 20CM longer than the upper body. The neck is long and the head is small, referred to as "three long and one small".
But this is an ideal state, which most dancers can't reach. Usually, the average figure of a ballet dancer is thinner in waist and arms but thicker in legs. Then measure the body proportion, starting from the third spine behind the neck to the butt root, and then from the butt root to the ground. Compared with the two lengths, it is better to have legs above 10. Then open your arms and measure their length, at least about the same as your height.
What kind of figure does ballet need?
Ballet diagram formula "three lengths, one small height".
1. "Three long" means long neck, long arms and long legs.
2. "Small" means small head.
3. "One height" means high instep.
Proportional measurement of ballet figure
Measurement method: upper body: after standing up straight, slightly lower the head and count the first vertebra from top to bottom to below the hip; Lower body: from below the hip to the bottom.
1, upper and lower body ratio.
M: Because boys develop late, the lower body is more than 250px longer than the upper body.
Female: Because girls develop earlier, the lower body is more than 300px longer than the upper body.
2. Body shape
Men and women: the figure should be thin, but not too thin. Because you have to do some movements with a lot of exercise, such as jumping and spinning;
The head should be smaller, the neck should be longer, the shoulders should be slightly shouldered (especially for girls), the back spine should be straight (measurement method: draw vertically from one spine to the coccyx with your thumb to see if it is vertical), and the vertical balance control is better. Stretch out your arms, the elbow joint of your arms should be smaller, not too prominent (not too thin for girls), and the arch of your feet should be higher, which is better for jumping. The first three fingers of toes should be in a straight line, otherwise they will stand on tiptoe and easily cause the second finger to deform. The instep should be tight.
Ballet soft opening requirements
1. Gentle
Side leg, hind leg. Waist softness (softness should not be too good, because it involves strength and is difficult to control).
2. Openness
Methods: Lie on your back with your back close to the ground, your legs bent, your feet facing each other (frog style), and press your knees.
Lie flat, with your back close to the ground, one leg straight and the other leg spread out to see if your hips can be close to the ground.
