Think of your body like building a tall tower out of blocks!
Here is how doing a ballet extend (tendu) helps you build a super strong, straight body tower:
💕Your Secret Center Pole: Imagine there is a straight line going from the top of your head all the way down to your standing foot. Keep your body stacked right over that line so you don’t wobble or lean over!
💕Strong & Level Hips: Keep your hips flat like a level table. Don’t let one side dip down when your leg stretches out.
💕Super-Straight Standing Leg: Squeeze the muscles in your standing leg to keep your knee super straight, like a solid tree trunk holding you up.
💕Magic Turnout: Turn your feet out gently like duck feet, starting all the way from your hip joints.
💕Pointed Magic Wand Feet: Push your moving foot out, pointing your toes like a magic wand all the way to the very tip!
When you practice stretching your foot out while staying tall, your muscles learn how to stand proud, straight, and strong every day!
