  1. I've dances since I was little, but u didn't start to actually focus in proper technique, strength, flexibility etc until I was 16(!) which is late. I turned 18 this year. Before I realized how much of a demand ballet is I wasn't flexible at all. My whole life I've got natural turnout and open hips, but my back, hamstring etc have always been inflexible. Suddenly with more classes, focus on improving and stengthening my body started to get more flexible it self. No I think I can describe myself as a quite flexible. This without any stretching routines etc. I've been lucky and got some natural flexibility, but also I think this proves that you can improve your body after the age of 15/16 :)

     

    At last, I really enjoy all the posts and interesting topics!

  2. I did advanced from sep 2011 to may 2012 and did my exam may 2012.

    I'm still doing the syllabus even though I did my advanced 2 exam this spring. Though I think I know the syllabus very well and I'm a bit tired of doing it, I still find it really helpful because I can focus a lot on the technique.

    She can probably do more of the exercises on Demi-pointe or pointe at the barre if she is allowed. Just to gain even more strength :)

    As I said if she is allowed doing the whole syllabus, or barre on pointe will help her a lot - at least it helped me very much.

     

    Doing advanced 1 from 2011-2015 before doing the exam is a very long period of time !

     

    I'm sorry if my English is hard to understand..
