The Best Stretching Exercises - What's My Best Program
The ballet beginner and also the adult starting ballet class both want to learn and understand the best stretches. Each wonders "what's the very best for me"? Those in love with, and already watching ballet closely, can easily see that high leg extensions, long curving back bends, elastic knee bends and cat-like jump landings, and leaps within the splits, are the mere norm in classical dancing. A tall order for many!
After training countless ballet students, I say to you, everyone is different, and almost each one of these wished they'd just one more physical attribute, the one which everyone however they, had. You might be a ballet student rich in arches, flexible hips, and yet - you have lousy turnout.
You may be a dance student with a long neck, elastic shoulders, a willowy shoulders, and arches, yet possess a tight pelvic area. Trust me, it appears as though the most gifted ballerina has an area that requires lots of stretches, just to meet up with the rest of their physique.
Ballet is easy for practically nobody, just in this regards. Yet, if you realise some functional anatomy, and if guess what happens your least flexible group of muscles is, you can get up to par together with your more flexible muscles.
Don't despair if you don't possess the easy flexible ankle joints, but you possess a deep, elastic, demi plie. Your long and stretchy leg muscles will provide you with a variety of motion in the depth of your plie, for your highest point of foot, providing you with a powerful jump upwards.
If you have a shallow demi plie, but more motion in the rearfoot, that movement will give you a powerful push-off from the feet. Either way, you can work on the other, to obtain more movement, as well as much more of a fashionable look in the end result, which as everyone knows, ballet is extremely picky about.
For those who have a little range of motion both in the ankle and demi plie (calf muscles), then you will have to patiently work on both areas. The good news is, no matter how slowly, you'll improve, with knowledge of your muscles and joints, and never with just forceful pushing on them.
The essential arabesque - you have to be flexible within the hips, psoas, or long postural muscle going in the thigh to the anterior from the spine, and thru top of the into the shoulder girdle, for a really fluid motion. Some dancers end up tighter in one spot, that is very annoying...but could be corrected.
Understanding Myofascial Release
Releasing tension within the fascia, the wrap-around tissue that surrounds and joins all your muscles from top to bottom, will release tension and elongate the muscles too. Referring back to the lower legs and rearfoot flexibility, a relaxation way of myofascial discharge of the shin muscles can be achieved BEFORE you stretch the ankle joint. You will feel more flexibility if you do it within this order.
