Question

What does the term "bad feet" mean in ballet?

Answer 1

just that you don't have very flexible feet. when you point them, they don't do all the way pointed, and there's still a slight angle from the shin to the ankle to the top of the foot.

but it's easily fixed, you just need to stretch your ankles (but not with the rubber things. that tightens/makes stronger, and therefore makes it harder to point them). you just tuck your toes under the couch and straighten your legs. that stretches them out nicely.

Answer 2

you dont have a good arch and cant point your feet very hard maybe

Answer 3

Could mean 2 things. Either you don't use your feet well when you dance (sloppy turnout, not pointing), or that you actually have bad feet (like no turnout and small arches.)

Answer 4

"Bad Feet" has a double meaning.

It can refer to the way that you dance with your feet, such as toes that aren't pointed, or sickling.

However, it is more often used as in "You have bad feet for a dancer." When a ballerina has beautiful feet, it means that her feet are narrow and she has incredibly high, "C shaped" arches. Ballerinas with flat, wide, non flexible, or weak feet or bad turnouts are considered to have bad feet.

Answer 5

you dont dance good. you dont point your toes, most likely. or you dont do the positions right

Answer 6

It could mean you aren't pointing your feet or your feet aren't strong/flexible enough, but in ballet it most likely means your turnout isn't wide enough

Answer 7

bad feet could be you don't point, sickle, and curl ,roll your feet.  But also it could mean your feet are simple to big/small for your body, your ankles are weak, ect

Answer 9
