What are the basic skills of ballet?

Ballet fundamentals are divided into three main categories: ground quality training exercises, handlebar up exercises, and handlebar down exercises;

Ground exercises include:

Straightening the instep exercises: The secret to a beautiful pointe lies in the instep - the surface of the foot between the ankle and the toes. When you tense your toes, the instep protrudes into an arch, and a beautiful ballet instep will have a stunning arch.

Bent Foot: Sit on the floor with your legs in front of you and your knees taut. (If your calf muscles are too tight, lean your body back slightly and support your back with your elbows.) Bend your feet and stretch your toes toward your body. It doesn't matter if your toes are straight up and your heels are off the ground. As pictured above

Bend your ankles:? Bend your ankles downward, keeping your heels on the ground and your toes straight forward. (Many dance teachers call this "Aladdin's foot" because it resembles Aladdin's lamp.) Bend your ankles as much as possible and straighten your feet forward.


Toe tensing: Straighten your toes downward as an extension of the curved arc of your feet. Stretch outward as far as you can, with the line as elongated as possible. Hold this position for a few seconds. If you feel your feet cramping, you can relax. As shown in the picture above

The ground quality exercises also include: hooking the back of the foot, disk foot pressure crotch, supine suction leg, lateral side suction leg, prone back suction leg, waist training, supine front big kick, leg pressure, kicking, lower back and so on;

Handle on exercises: rubbing the ground exercises, squatting exercises and leg pressure exercises, the main means of shaping the beauty of the posture;

Handle off exercises: the training of hand position and foot position, such as the arm wave-shaped The training of hand position and foot position, such as arm wavy dance, feet do rowing circle and other movements, as well as the pace and toe training.

Just start practicing the basic skills will be more difficult, more painful, because there is no previous practice, some of the body's strength is not a lot, it will be more strenuous, but to insist, as long as good persistence, in a short time it will be good, there will not be the beginning of the pain, as long as you get through the pass everything will be very good to learn.
