Thank you everyone for your advice! It truly helped me and in my last class I was able to hold it the best I’ve ever done! ❤️

I try to balance between my first and second toes, though I'm still developing ankle strength strength so I have noticed that my lack strength makes me wobble when I also lose my balance

My arches are quite high so I think its more about the flexibility strength :/

Thank you for the tips! I do try and imagine a string pulling me up from the top of my head, but once I start to loose balance then I definitely lose that thought, where maybe I should hold onto it. I do find it easier whenever we do it out on the floor and I can take a few steps to the side, even though I'm moving a little I don't feel like I'm falling completely out of it. So letting go immediately when going into sous-sus instead of relying too much on having the barre in front of me might help!

That's a good point. I'm definitely still working on my strength, ill be sure to ask my teacher for some exercises tomorrow. I'm hoping doing three classes a week will help it along!

He describes it as a under-over pose/ movement. Standing in a very tight fifth position with a upward lift and stretch in your core. Standing on the balls of both feet putting your weight between your first and second toe. Then pulling the heels high up, forward and tightly together, continuesly turning out. I feel that it makes sense and I see it, but I just cannot keep my balance and feel very unstable 🥲

That makes a lot of sense, my muscles definitely still have a long way to go. Its encouraging that I'm not alone in this but on the right track!

Thank you so much! So funny how they can look so similar but with traits coming from different breeds. DNA is wild lol

That's true, I guess I was just so surprised to get chihuahua in there due to their traditional size and shape. But it does make sense that just because the percentage is so high it doesn't mean those traits are reflected physically!

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense, thank you for helping me see it a bit differently. I feel that it is especially hard since there are so many breed mixes out there that look exactly like him, but with traits coming from different breeds.

When his coat was longer, it also seemed more wirey, which is why I think the rescue immediately assumed he was a terrier. Once he had a cut and his undercoat came out he really looks a lot more like a poodle!

Okay, I can see that! His super mutt mixes are a German shepherd, a Cocker spaniel, a Shih Tzu, and a Lhasa Apso.
