Flexibility and turnout: videos suitable for a 9 year-old?

[Garnier]

My 9 year-old daughter is keen to do some stretching and strengthening exercises at home, in particular to improve her turnout and feet. Can anyone recommend any videos (available online or for purchase at a reasonable price!)? I’ve found a few things by googling but am not sure about their quality or safety for a child’s growing body.

Thanks!

I’ve added the tag “stretching” to the top of the thread.  If you click on that lots of earlier threads come up that may contain useful information.

 

Here’s one to start you off:

The Ballet Physio; Luke Abnett runs zoom holiday classes for little ones which would ive her some useful ones to do one her own.

Oh that sounds great! I’ll check out his website.

I’d also recommend Luke - if you can see him for an assessment you’ll save your child hours of YouTube stretching which might not help, he can pinpoint areas to specifically work on. Took my child to him (following advice here) as she had a clicking hip and it was incredibly useful, there is all sorts she is now working on - lots of tips re her feet etc.
 

And I also saw at half term he runs courses online to improve all areas of physical technique.

That’s so helpful, thanks!
