Toe Point & Anti-Microbend Workshop
Who this workshop recording is for:
This 30-minute workshop is meant for students interested in cleaner lines - both on the floor as well as in the air. This class specifically will focus on knees, ankles, and toes.
Prerequisites: None!
What you’ll learn:
Get a flatter toe point - learn how to lead your point from your ankles and active flexibility exercises to work both ankle and toe flexibility
The toe “smoosh” - for students with an already comfortable pointe, we’ll also include strengthening exercises to work towards your “toe smoosh” - the alien-like toes-curled-under foot position used by contortionists to suspend their feet in bridges and more
How to kill that goddamn knee microbend - exercises to engage your quads and smooth out the knee microbend that plagues so many of our leg-in-the-air poses
A full 30-minute flexibility & conditioning routine you can follow-along to keep working on your pointe and anti-microbend practice (including a couple of extra minutes at the end to show how to foam roll your feet)
Recommended props:
Light TheraBand (or some kind of wide elastic resistance band)
Towel (ideally a hand or kitchen towel, but a full sized bath towel can work in a pinch)
Upon checkout, you will receive a PDF with a link to the workshop recording (Squarespace limits file upload sizes so I can’t actually upload the whole recording here). The recording is for your personal use only, not to be shared with others - thank you!
