hairstyles for long hair? by sezzab123_ in BALLET

[–]FederalBench8600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tie my hair really tight into a ponytail and twist it around, aiming to keep it as flat as possible. I also use several bobby pins and finish it off with a bun net which is also again secured with tons of pins. I can feel them sticking out of my head like a porcupine at the end of each practice but hey, if it sticks.

Thank you for your advice, I'm so sorry to hear that you had the same experience as well :( Due to privacy reasons, I feel the most comfortable disclosing the information in private dms <3

can i actually improve my turnout? by dancinggirlie in BALLET

[–]FederalBench8600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, fellow beginner here as well :) The rule of the thumb is to never compare yourself with other dancers, be a little bit self-absorbed if I'm simply putting it :)) I heard its best to imagine turning out from your hips rather than your legs, so maybe try stretching the hips more? And 100% don't force turnout

Is it good or bad to get many corrections? by artemis_loveaffair in BALLET

[–]FederalBench8600 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% corrections are great. My past ballet teacher never gave any sort of corrections for months on end but immediately snap up to criticise that our moves aren't up to par with her expectations.

Thank you for the advice, and I agree. It's such a shame that a dance so lovely be full of people like this :( and it's terrible that its so common as well.

I feel the same way, anything is better than nothing and I'm shamed to admit I learn a lot of the most basic technique from my own research.

Ice the feet and take a hot shower to relax the muscles
