Follow-Along for Strong Feet, Stability, a High Demi Pointe for Dancers

[@esmeduplessis941]

I'm 70 years old and was a Ballet dancer from 8years old until 25years old. My feet and legs are still young, younger than my face😁. I looked after my feet and although you can see the Ballet in them, they still look good.But I still dance when I'm alone. Yes you have beautiful feet and legs. Thanks for these exercises I saved it for personal use.🐞

Gaby Szabo she may also have a flat foot or really arched foot, shoes play a huge role on foot pain Or she can just be a dancer, oops😅

Take your daughter to a doctor for early intervention. Mine came too late and it's caused me a lot of pain and problems. I see so many children who have feet problems walking around. When you have issues, you notice.

while strengthening her feet is definitely a good idea, the root of the problem could be her pelvis or spine. so, yes, you should get her checked out by a doctor🙏 best of luck!

I’m 71 year old man & professional actor. I took ballet when I was 21 for stage movement. Although I do exercise regularly I have found that I am having balance issues and decided I would try ballet exercises. I stumbled upon Tatiana’s video. I found that even the foot exercises in moderation and low intensity my balance is improving. I now incorporate these in my exercise routine. I not going to be doing any triple pirouettes anytime soon. But at least I can walk straight without a cane. Thank you Tatiana🙏

[@thedancingscientist8180]

This has been part of my everyday practice for feet strengthening. So simple, no frills, and personal. After three consistent months, my feet and calves feel stronger when I dance or move around. You are beautiful to watch Tatiana!!!

[@sandrawelch6916]

Excellent exercises! And you have beautiful feet. I noticed that your curl your toes, you need to advise against this. When you curl your toes it can lead to bunions.

[@portia7854]

This fixed my right flat foot which caused my knee to rotate in and basically I had a weird right leg, so my legs were not symmetrical and not straight. But after doing this only twice, my right leg is almost the same as the left, and both legs are straighter. It reduced the size of the gap between my legs, which is crazy because I always thought it was just my genetics, but apparently a flat foot can throw everything out of proportion and cause internal rotation of the knee. I'm going to keep doing this everyday to attain and maintain a high arch and nice legs. Thank you!!!

[@minaaRenee]

Please let me know how this is still doing for you?? I have bad flat feet and saw this to help improve my over pronation and my knees growing going inward

[@SteppingStonevlogs]

For real?!!!

[@user-is7xs1mr9y]

Dude I hate so much how my knees look, they make my legs look so crooked, so I hope this helps at least a little bit. I'm so happy for you!

[@user-is7xs1mr9y]

This was randomly suggested to me. I'm not a ballerina, but I'm a beginner in martial arts and I have flat feet. I recently discovered that now I have an arch! Even if it is not as pronounced as a normal arch, I'm beyond happy, so I'm going to incorporate these exercises before training because I need stronger feet and more balance. I wanted to be a ballerina since I was 4 years old, but my mom told me that ballet is not for tall girls lol, so I never pursued that career. I'm still very happy were I am now. Thank you so much for this video even if it is old and probably you'll never see this.

I’m not even a dancer but this came up on my recommended so I clicked

[@Julia-lk8jn]

I've been trying to do these exercises 3 to 6 times a week, and I'm already noticing an increase in strength. Funnily enough: it shows up when cycling, which didn't expect. It actually makes me a lot more stable at stops and when starting (for non-cyclists: those are the most wobbly moments!) and my legs are getting stronger, too. Thank you very much!

255lbs, 36 year old Infanteer here. I've started incorporating this into my training after my morning walks. Years of combat boots and rucking with weight have reduced my ankle mobility. I'm hoping to see improvements in my walking and running from this, in addition to improved stability.

Many pro athletes incl footballers do yoga for same reasons. Bob and Brad also have good videos on many physical therapy topics. Cheers ✌️🌎

I did these Excersises for 2 weeks. Then I stopped for a week. I did them for another week. Then I stopped for about 2 months. I just did them and Boy that felt good. Thank you Tatiana!

[@TatianaRooney]

[@seraferina]

thank you so much, i've stopped my ballet classes for half a year and I'm just now picking them up again at my old level. this video helped me a lot to realize my feet were not in their old condition and i need to practice, this video is perfect.

[@itsanolive7437]

That plie on releve in second had my legs shaking like crazy omg

[@TiLLyBEEtea]

Girl same

[@anye76]

This video is gold. Bawling my eyes out, flooded with memories. Haven't danced in almost 30 years. Feet and ankles actually remembered once I started🤭💕😊

[@williamcutting5224]

I rolled my ankle on a root while running trails, barefoot. So, I'm doing these to help strengthen my ankles and feet. Thanks

[@zeynepzehragumus]

Every time I do this exercise, I want to push the like button again. Thank you Tatiana!

[@ItsGabriellasTime]

whew this hurt good! Wow, I have never considered how much we can stretch the feet and toes. I've been trying to strengthen my ankles bc I get tired in heels QUICK. This has been incredible. I'm encouraged to do this every day until my upcoming pageant! Thanks for the upload!

[@shierrinflae]

I did a year of ballet last year but I‘ve been off again for various reasons this year and halfway through, I was ready to give up with the side of my shin cramping and the soles of my feet hurting. 😅 So this definitely is needed and I‘ll have to remember to come back to this video regularly! My main sport is pole dancing, so strong feet in flexy moves are important!

[@catherinecangiano9231]

Thank you for this! I have developed weak ankles over the years and its so helpful! Fabulous

[@eaglebrother1577]

This is awesome. Thank you. As a long ago wanna-be gymnast and danseur, these practices had an immediate effect on my leg and feet strength. Now I will add this to my daily routine warm-up and strength training for my own health practice and martial arts training. Thank you again, Tatiana.

[@kevinpeng4059]

Came across this vid trying to strengthen my feet and ankles during quarantine and the winter, when I cant run. Great explanations of the movement and why you are doing them. Keep up the great work!

[@kathleenschildmeyer6832]

I’m not a dancer although I love it! I am an active 61 year old who has struggled with plantar fasciitis for years. I’ve also started developing hammer toes and bunion. These exercises have helped me so much, my feet feel comfortable and alive and I can feel the them tingle and happy. Back to long wanks with no pain!!! Thank you. 🙏

[@sibbyeskie]

When I picked up ice skating my feet became much stronger and it hugely improved my arch pronation tendencies. But the arenas closed last year so I’m trying to get back to “game shape.” These are really good exercises. Your strength is extremely good. You should try skating if you never have!

[@Hannah7Banana]

I’m not a dancer, but I used to be in ballet, dance, gymnastics, tumbling, and competitive cheer. It’s been 3 years since I quit and it’s been a tough 3 years for me. About a week ago I started doing a workout every day and I always do this in the evening. Even though it’s only been about a week I’ve seen a huge improvement in my feet and leg strength. Ty for this video because this is like the only good follow along foot routine I could find.

[@samward9074]

OMG thank you so much! I am going to go on point because of this workout! I noticed not only more strength but a much more beautiful point as well

[@gforce9596]

It was nice to finally see coach's face at about ten minutes in! I'm recovering from an achilles tweak, thank you for uploading this

[@classicalballet7770]

I am starting doing this everyday and updating my progress. My arch is not bad but my toes won't point! Day 1: ✔️ the calf raises were hard. The pointy exercises felt good! I realised I struggle to flex after pointing the toes. Day 2 : ✔️

[@Dolphin369]

Up until the not so recent past I “hated” my feet. I had bunions and flat feet since I was 12. I was so embarrassed for anyone to see them, and I ignored and neglected them too. Of course they weakened and overall condition got worse over the decades. I’ve been rebuilding my relationship to my feet over the last couple of years, thankful for them considering my great grandmother and those before her had their feet bound in China. Learning to ground my feet into the earth and walk barefoot. I was not allowed as a child to go barefoot outdoors, and actually wore shoes nearly all the time. The feel of grass or water on my feet would make me feel nauseous. My feet, ankles and calves are very weak but after 2 practices I’m noticing a difference in strength and tone. I may not end up with completely straight and “beautiful” feet, but I’ll have strong feet!
