General Dancing questions.?

Question

Ok I have some questions. Ok first how do you tell which ballet slipper goes on which foot. Also Im not as flexible as I should be, so does anyone know any general stretching excersises I should try out? Thanks :)

Answer 1

Flip a coin for the slippers.

Make sure that you are warm before you stretch. A lot of people just start stretching and it causes more tiny tears in the muscle fibers. This in turn leads to injuries and ineffective flexibility training.

Good Luck,

Ballet Slippers: it depends what kind you have, but usually no, there not like normal shoes where there is left or right (unless you get some specially made for each foot). It's just a quick slip on the foot, it doesn't usually matter.

Flexibility is the real pain in the butt (i have trouble myself): Join a Pilates class or try these websites:
