Hyperextensions

Hey people!!
I  am soooo sorry that I did not update!!! First I had my exams and I got really busy with school so yeah. Anyways, A few months ago I discovered that my knees bend when I go in my 1st position of ballet and then I did some research and also confirmed with my teacher and found out that I have got HYPEREXTENDED LEGS. So this is something you are born with or can happen due to injury. This condition is basically when your knees go all the way inside than usual something like this:-

Don't worry you are not abnormal!! It is actually preferred in a lot of ballet schools and some ballerinas want it! So all you've got to do is that when you are in your 1st position squeeze your inner thighs and your bum cheeks. Its gonna help you to turn out as well as help you to fully extend your legs. Imagine that your legs start from your lower stomach and not where they actually start from and really lift up. And please DO NOT LOCK YOUR KNEES!!! This could injure your legs. Please be careful to not do that even when you are stretching, it could get pretty bad. Ohh and I got to know about this today that people with hyperextensions are supposed to be good with Chaînés which is great! :D 

PS:- I'm not gonna lie... 5th position is a little bit difficult and so are the back tondues but practice this is all I can say.)

Thank you for reading my blog!!
HAPPY DANCING!!!
