Help! Hyperextended knees - strengthening

[SBallerina]

Hi!

I read a looong chat/discussion about hyperextended knees in ballet, what they are, how they affect they dancing and how to strengthen them. I think I remember it continued on to a 2nd chat because of the length. Problem is; I can't find it again..

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks xx

I tried to search it in the search bar but nothing came up. I would like to read that too as dd is hyper mobile x

There was this recent thread:

An older thread:

 

http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/2403-talking-of-knees/?hl=hypermobility#entry28378

 

I searched separately for knees and then hyper mobility.  The subjects seem to have come up in loads of less obvious threads too.

If you search for "swaybacks" - the informal name for hyperextended knees - you'll also find more threads: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/5852-swaybacks/?hl=swaybacks
