Help! Ballet, knee question!?

Question

Heyyy!!!

Help!!!

I take ballet, and whenever I go into 1st position, I can't fully extend my legs, because my knees are too big!!!

Is there anyway that can be helped???

Answer 1

u may need to seperate your heels a tiny bit so they're not touching so your knees can straighten. if i were you, i'd ask your teacher and see what she thinks, she'll definately be able to help you!!

best of luck!

Answer 2

Stretch stretch stretch ... a couple of times a week.  Stand in first position and bend over and touch your hands to the floor (with your legs straight) and also sit with your legs straight out (point and flex your feet) and put your head into your legs and stretch your arms out to your feet!  Keep stretching and you will get there ... everyone is different!
