I need some stretches and exercises to do?

Question

Our ballet studio is going to be performing Swan Lake next Spring and I've been dancing for 12 years and feel that I have the potential to get the lead role if I try hard enough. Has anyone ever had this role? Or could someone please give me some pointers/tips on how to get this role. It's something I really want and am willing to work really hard for. Any specific exercises or stretches you would recommend?

Answer 1

Working on your arabesques and posture.

Also use lots of facial expressions and big gestures.

I played Swan Lake for my Ballet Recital last year-but it wasn't the whole play.

Go onto WikiHow   http://www.wikihow.com/Stretch

Or if trying to do the splits-which is what I am doing-go to:

I really hope it works out for you.

You sound like you deserve the part-good luck!
