    Hello, lovelies. Do you want some strong, flexible dancers feet? Then you've come to the right channel Haha! In today's video you can follow along with some foot strengthening exercises which will improve your demi-pointes, getting a higher arch and better stability in releve! Do these exercises regularly, any time a day (I do when I am brushing my teeth lol) and you will see an improvement in your demi pointe on releve, in pirouettes and balance in general. Let me know if it helps xx

    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.🐞

    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!!!

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🙏

    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 just dance at home occasionally but I saw a TikTok of a dancer 'complaining' about her non-dancer roommate having beautiful arches. And I looked at mine and I was like 'well, mine look similar' lol
    So I wondered what exercises dancers do to strengthen their feet. That's how I found your video.
    I could follow along surprisingly well and feel quite happy about my feet. 😊
    I might do these from time to time now. 🙂
    Maybe I have strong feet also because I walk a lot and also use barefoot shoes quite often. ✨️

    I’m 70 and just got back to ballet after four years off due to Covid.
    Took for 40 years and started pointe at age 40.
    I’m told my legs look like those of a twenty-year-old.
    Of course, after some time off, I’m not as strong as I was but I teach yoga and Pilates so I’m working in parallel instead of the turnout. Whew!
    That’s tough!

    I'm an amateur contemporary dancer with plantar fasciitis, and I often find that my balance is shaky. This video is excellent balance training, honing the arch, toe, ankle, and calf muscles I need to feel grounded--and most importantly, my brain! After doing these exercises a few times a week for three months, I'm feeling much more confident on demi-pointe, and I've got serious calf muscles to boot! Thank you so much, Tatiana!

    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.

    I’m going to use this for overall health instead of for dancing. As a runner I have neglected my feet way to often.

    I have never done ballet so I have no idea what any of the names she's saying mean but I'll be honest - when she said you can hold onto something to help (8:41 or so) that really spoke to me. I only just recently started doing calf exercises on single legs and it's hard so I hold onto something, but this helped me realise this isn't challenging me at all!
