Mrs Brown Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Please could anyone help point me in the direction of something useful online about how stretching can actually be bad for some people? I remember reading something a few months ago and am now struggling to find it but I need to speak to a dance teacher about how I don't want a child forced in stretches as I really don't think it is going to help her and I actually have concerns about it. She doesn't dream of being a dancer in the future so I can't see it is necessary anyway. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 What about searching articles by Liza Howell - theballetblog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 There have been numerous threads on the forum over the years, so have a search and see whether you can find anything on here. The posts by drdance will be particularly relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Brown Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Lisa Howell - that is the lady. I was hoping I might recognise something! thank you. I will look up drdance thanks taxi and see what I can turn up. If she wanted to be a dancer then it would be very different but she really doesn't. she doesn't even like modern. she loves tap and just does modern and ballet because she has to do ballet and quite likes it in a very recreational way and modern because she used to like it. I don't want her risking injuring herself stretching when she really doesn't need to. I am of the opinion if they are shown the relevant stretches then they can do them themselves where they can control it more but they shouldn't be pushed. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I've added a couple of tags it may be worth searching on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
