How to improve your flexibility

i get i get lots questions of how to improve flexible
first of all i found these videos extremely helpful =)
hmmm try to strech all the time.what i mean? for example  when i strech i read my history book :)
try to when u see tv, why dont u strech? it helps :))))
start with simple searches and after some weeks try harder ones
dont give up i know it takes time  and remember NO PAIN NO GAIN .

Wall Stretch works

Place a folded bolster, blanket, or pillow against a wall.

Sit down as close as you can to the wall, next to the pillow. Lie down on your back, place your feet on the wall with your knees bent, and scoot your body over so that your bottom and lower back are on the pillow.

You want to adjust your body so that your bum is touching the wall, and then place your feet straight up, resting your heels on the wall. Now separate your feet and slide your legs down the wall toward the ground, coming into a straddle position.

You can keep your arms by your sides, or by your head (this position will stretch your shoulders).

Close your eyes and allow your entire body to relax, feeling gravity pulling your feet down and opening your inner thighs. If it becomes too intense, place your hands on the outside of your thighs for a little support.

Hold like this for several minutes or longer. Once you've had enough, slide your feet up the wall toward each other. Then walk your feet down the wall, draw your knees into your chest and roll your body over to one side. Rest your head on the inside of your arm, staying like this in fetal position for a minute or so. Then you can roll up onto your knees and come to stand up.

tip:leaten your fav songs :-) you will not be bored

stay at least 5 mins.

or try something like that =)

when you try the splits use  knee protection for dance.it will be less painful

start this with the helpf of the wall

=)

when you can do all the splits strat practising with chair !!!!!!!

Instructions

1

Warm your leg and back muscles up by doing stretches. Stretch your groin, hamstrings, calves, quadriceps and your lower back by doing lunges, hurdler stretches, calf raisers and child's pose stretches.

2

Do the splits on the ground to warm up your groin muscles. If you are unable to do the splits on the ground, do not attempt the splits on chairs or you risk injuring your groin.

3

Place 2 chairs across from each other. The chairs should be a little less than 2 leg widths apart

4

Place an elevated flat surface, such as a table, in between the chairs. The flat surface should be positioned so that you can use your hands to slowly lower yourself into the splits position, but the table should not be in line with the chairs so that your groin does not rest on it when you do the splits.

5

While facing the elevated flat surface, put one leg on each of the chairs and place both palms face down on the flat surface. Using your arms to control your descent, slowly lower yourself down into the splits position.

ah huge article ,i hope it helps !

always ALWAYS remember your goal

practising ballet at home ♋

I  just had a question at fanpop about practising ballet at home :-)

he best location to practice ballet is in a ballet or dance studio. However, there are times that circumstances make it difficult to be in a studio, so you may have to do your ballet dancing at home or you want just to practise more

first of all

Push or move your furniture to allow a clear area for your ballet practices ,if you don't want to have disasters =p come on you know what i mean !.  An empty room is always best, but a room with clear floor space will work also.

well start practising like half an hour and when you understand that ,this is not enough increase the hour that you practise
cause the other day you will be in a big pain belive me

Start with your barre work, stretching and warming up(if you dont warm up cause the other day you will be in a big pain belive me!!!). Then, move away from the barre to an open area of floor to continue with center floor work. Plan your lessons to concentrate on a new turn or movement at each practice.

 

If you dont know ballet use a ballet instructional video or DVD in your home practice to help you get started on doing ballet dancing at home.

if you are dancing also in a studio
continue with all the bare stuff which you do in class
i practise a lot my turnout at my home and i strech a lot too
also you can try to imrove your balance like the girl in the video Ballet Balance Practice Age 15

if you have space try turns and adage


***Hope that helps ;) good luck !

 

If I could be like that
I'd give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

Now and dreams we run.  =)

SUMMER is coming (even though the weather is trying to delay it)

But before that,we have the exams in school pfft :3
and suddenly we all have extra classes and we study like grazy because all the year
we prefered to do better thinks instead of studying(dance yeah !)
most of us hate exams
but something goes wrong with me because i enjoy exams
not because i am a perfect student
it is cause i
finds time to stretch in the morning then read and do rehersals for performances for the end of the year 
and the days that we write a lesson in the exams
after i have a great time
cause i go to beach and sometimes i eat ice cream(yummy)
but hmmmmm i have all this  great time until  i have to wirte physics
God  help me ! =)
i dont want to think of how much i have to study
anyway till then relax and keep dancing  blogers
good luck to those who have exams too
:D

stretch but always REMEMBER warm up first

Abortion

Easter is officially gone =((
that means back to school
pfff back to reality
anyway i had grate time and i will miss all my friends in my village
.....
look that i found :P it made me cry

Hi Mommy!
I am only 3/4 of an inch long,
But I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it,
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
Is my favorite lullaby.

Month Two.

Mommy,
Today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
You could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three.

You know what Mommy,
I'm a boy!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too,
And I cry with you even though
You can't hear me.

Month Four.

Mommy,
My hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
But I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
And stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.

Month Five.

You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby, Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?

Month Six.

I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! Help me!

Month Seven.

Mommy,
I am okay.
I am in Jesus's arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.
Why didn't you want me, Mommy?

Every abortion is just...

One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

end the war on the Unborn.

perfection is unhealthy ! ;)
