What are some fast and easy stretching/strengthening moves for a ballerina?

Every night for a year, I%26#039;ve done my splits, leg lifts, calf stretches, and quad stretches.....


all of this takes under five minutes





i want to find new stretches to increase my flexibility, balance, and strength as a dancer


could u please suggest some things i can do that will take about 1 minute? and tell me which stretch would be most beneficial to me, and why. please describe in detail how to perform the stretch , how long it should take, and wy it would help a ballerina.


thanks!

Straddle streches- Make a straddle on the floor. Stretch to the middle. It only takes 1 minute if you stretch to the right and left too.





Backbends or bridges.

I really suggest Wii Fit! Even if you don%26#039;t have a wii, maybe a friend does. I am a very serious dance in teh New York City Ballet, and my brother has a wii and has wii fit! It has helped me so much with my strength (strength training), balance, (balance games) flexibility (yoga), and my stamina (aerobics).


It really works, trust me!
Reply:lie on the floor and put your legs up gaisnt a wall at 90 degrees then move them further and further apart
Reply:partner stretch:


-stand up straight against a wall


-lift up your leg (like you are doing a high kick) and have your partner hold it.


-your partner should push on your leg


-switch legs (both left and right legs should be stretched)


*this stretch increases flexibilty when kicking


about 3-5 minutes
