Answer 1

Try stretching everyday. Do the stretches you do in class, because you will be more familiar with them. Also, do the barre exercises at home. If you don't have a barre, buy one, or subsitute a kitchen counter or railing. That girl in the video is en pointe, which will take you a few years. I am sure you are familiar with pointe though, so I won't go on about that. Just stretch and practise...it sounds long and cliche, but it WILL work!

Have a nice day!!
