OllyO07 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hi, My daughter is right handed but is left leg dominant. Does anyone know if this puts her at a disadvantage/advantage? I've tried looking this up but can't find much at all. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 When you say left dominant, do you mean she turns better to the left? I have one pupil who is right handed but is a left turner and it really doesn't make any difference for a normal class as you do everything on both sides. However, I have warned her that in auditions or intensives, if they only do turns to the right assuming that suits everyone, she should put her hand up and say politely that she is a left turner. For other work, it shouldn't matter. Usually there is one stronger leg for standing on, but usually this leg is then lower in extensions as the muscles can be tighter, which is what gives the stability in the first place!

Bruisedballerina Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I am also left leg dominant in everything from turns, kicks etc which proves to be very annoying as most choreographers I have had always choreograph it right leg. My advice would be to focus of the right leg for a while to make it just as good as the left so that choreo will be easier. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
