In conversations about hyperextended feet, some learners who have been bouncing for decades are just starting to realize that their feet hyperextend, or over-straighten.
Explaining a fairly neutral leg, in the first few sessions, is as important as describing a fairly neutral backbone, whatever terms the instructor uses. (Unless there are no hyperextended feet in the category, this is necessary).
A fairly neutral leg is: joint above the rearfoot cuboid, hips above the feet. A range attracted down through images of you status, taken from the side, should expose a posture plumb range, from the middle of the mind, throat, backbone (through your natural curves), hips, through the feet and legs, or just at the front side of the legs, based upon where you relaxed your weight.
With hyperextended feet, the feet expand returning behind this range. While this bending out at the returning of the feet is an popular range in a dancer's action leg, it causes many issues in a status leg.
First you deal with the sensation of the feet being curved, when organised in a directly place. However, in this directly place it is much quicker to keep the turnout and have the hips in a fairly neutral place where you can develop durability in your middle.
When the feet relax returning in hyperextension, the hip and feet convert in, and often the hips tucks under. Now you have affected the protection of your low returning. (In this place you may create heavy hip and feet and heavy hip muscles). From here you destabilize your stability. You can make up for this distortions in many ways in smooth footwear, to a level.
When you get onto pointe footwear, all types of issues will appear, if they haven't already.
Easily a whole report could be published about this. To keep it simple, concentrate on the directly, or fairly neutral leg.
If you are a few decades into exercising, it's work, it's re-training sensory routes. But most performers do this all the time as they improvement through their exercising and professions.
There is also a lot of discuss overdeveloping the quadriceps or within joint muscle tissue, or some other problems, because of having the leg directly. Not so. If your hips is fairly neutral, you can use your muscle tissue effectively. You don't need to hold or squeeze.
You want your hip and feet drawn up long. You want a sensation of forcing down through the middle of your leg cuboid into the ground. And think about a space between your hip cuboid and the top of your hip and feet. You will accomplish a real extending by doing this, your strong reduced abs will take up and in perfectly, and now your primary muscle tissue are assisting the duration you want.
You will be able to keep your turnout and have a powerful assisting leg. When you get into pointe footwear, you will have your body arranged well, over that small point on the ground.

Always keep in mind in your bouncing extending, to relax and prolong all your muscle tissue. Use a smooth silicone basketball to massage the muscle tissue, bending on a walls, or use it with the ground. D Vogel has a DVD on this. You can find it on thebodyseries site.
