How do i get flexible for ballet?

If you are taking a class, then warm-up stretches will be required before the ballet instruction starts. Use them as a guideline and do some "homework". After the class is over, take the opportunity to work on flexibility. Muscles are more flexible immediately after they've been worked. Following the basic warm-up routine, stretch to the point of tightness and hold for about 10 seconds, then stretch deeper being careful not to go to fast. You will feel some mild discomfort for a few weeks or months, but one day you'll find that the stretches are easier for you and you can stretch and hold much deeper and longer than when you started. Like anything else, it is a process. It takes time. Be patient and most importantly, be consistent.

stretch your hamstrings and your back!

stretch after you warm up though, or you could pull something, and we dont want that.

one of the easiest and most effective stretches is the straddle. It stretches your inner thighs when your leaning center and hamstrings when you're leaning to the sides, as well as your sides when you are streching towards your toes.

Also try the pick for your hamstrings and do backbends for your back.

GOOD LUCK!! =)
