Stretches
(stretches) Most dancers and athletes like to stretch a little before doing
exercises. Some stretch for 5 or 10 minutes or more before class. A good stretching
exercise for a girl to be done after the barre is .... holding right arm on
barre, bring left leg up to high A La Seconde, crook your left elbow behind
left knee and pull up. Straighten and bend left knee several times while pulling
up with your left arm. Then catch left heel with left hand and straighten
leg front and carry to side. Repeat the first part again then hold leg in
Penche back and pull left over to 180 degrees, if possible. Stretches are
most important for a dancer. There are lots more stretches in the "Training
Secrets" file.
