How to convince your mom to let you go to a dance recital?
in
My mom took this embarrassing photo of me so I took her phone and deleted it so she wouldn't show anyone. Now she's all mad at me (and really I dont care because I am moving with my dad) but she won't let me go to my dance recital! Help?
Answer:
Ask if you can go to study and give her a reason why. Make sure you're being clear.
Give her details of how long you will stay and who you are going with. Don't just say "I'm going with some friends." Instead, say "I'm going with Abby and Samantha." If she doesn't like the people your going with, you can always leave out some.
Clean your room and do your chores without being asked. Do this before you ask your mom, or it will be seen as cheap bargaining tactics.
If she says no, take it rationally. Don't try to sell yourself off, instead tell her all the good things that will come of it. Make sure to play up the assets.
Be persistent! If she tells you that you can't go to the mall tonight, ask her about Saturday night instead. If she sees you really want to go she might feel a change of heart.
Try not to get mad or upset. If you do she might not let you go.
Tell her that it would mean the world to you. If she still will not let you go try telling her how important it is to you to be independent for a bit. if none of this information works beg like CRAZY eventually she'll get so mad and fed up with you that she'll let you go out!!!
How to learn how to do a pirouette in three days?
in
I have to learn how to a double pirouette in three days. I'm already watching videos on youtube and trying to train myself how to do them, but I can't even do a single right now, and I get dizzy in about ten minutes and have to take a break. Any help would be appreciated!
Answer:
Does it have to be a good one or can it be lose and not proper?
First, Iv been doing pirouettes for about 2 years and only starting on triples so its going to be hard.
First if you want to cheat a little use a slipper floor.
Second your getttin dizzy beacuse your not spotting. spotting means leave ur head to where u are spotting ( a spot on the wall) untill your 1/4 around than whip ur head back to the frount. it does get ur a bit dizz at first but everyone HAS to spot. if you find that u can turn better without its because ur using to much enrgey in your head.
Lean forward just a bit when you turn.
your core has to be just as strong and the force thats turning you. If one force is stonger than the other it wont work.
Im not going to talk about how to turn since u said your watching vids.
When doing a double pirouette dont think of doing two. think of on plus another head.
Why? Beacuse sometimes if u think or f double pirouette the way ur body is the the first might change a bit for the second. Therefor making it harder to turn.
Hoped it helped a bit :D

How to increase muscle strength near the ends of range of motion?
in
Muscles are strongest nearest the center of the range of motion usually and get weaker as you move towards the end boundaries of range of motion?
How do you increase the strength near the end boundaries of the range of motion?
Dancers tend to be strong even near the ends of their range of motion
Answer:
As you work on your flexibility you also need to work on building strength. As an example for a leg extension--you might stretch it by using a door frame and sliding your legs up the frame, that is for flexibility. To build strength in that extension--hold the leg as high as you can (or in any position within your range of motion) for as long as you can and that is what is building the muscle up. (making it work by staying in the same position) When you can hold it there, try holding it higher and higher each time. Take a piece of tape and put it on a wall so you know where you have to lift it and hold it, then move the tape as your range of motion increases.
Ballet - How to get a bigger arch in your foot?
in
I am doing ballet and i really want to know how you get a bigger arch in your foot.
Answer:
You cannot get a bigger arch in your foot. You have the arch you were born with. It is bone structure. What you can do is make your foot more flexible and stronger and have a better pointe. That is what is really important and what you have control over. Make sure you work your feet properly at the barre. Push through the floor making sure you articulate your feet (don't sickle.) Work your feet whenever you think of it. Work with a theraband. Do not put your feet under a couch or force them as suggested. That is a way to end up with tendinitis.
How to learn to dance good on my own?
in
Hi guys, i would really like to learn how to hip hop dance on my own, do you know anything that could help me, like watching videos on YouTube or something?
Thanks:))
Answer:
Only YouTube really. Master some on there. It won't be easy. Because dance has the rythem, and the moves. You have to learn how to feel the moves, and the music, you can't do that by watching videos.
How to stand out and impress dance judges when I audition for a team?
in
I am auditioning for a dance team next week. I auditioned last year and got a callback but didn't make it. I think part of it was how nervous I looked. What are some good things I can do to impress the judges?
Answer:
Look confidant. Be confidant. Do a lot of facials (Smiling or any other facial), because if you don't, then they will be like, "Oh my gosh he/she is boring." Make sure you look neat. Cut your nails, don't wear too much makeup, wear neat clothes. Make sure your hair is not in your face when you dance. Also, when and if they ask you questions, just smile and be happy (or pretend to). Be sharp and do your best. I hope this helps!
How to make friends at my ballet studio?
in
Well there's this one girl who seems quite friendly, but most of the other girls seem pretty stuck up and one even flipped her hair in my face =/ I'm pretty sure it was on purpose. I know I'm going to ballet to get good at it and learn, but is it worth making friends? Or should I just concentrate on the goal of getting better?
Answer:
Maybe you could invite your friends along from school if you're having trouble making some there. If they can't, just focus on the ballet. I'm sure yiu' get used to it. think of it as making friends at school- use the sane tactics to make friends there(: but don't get too carried away with you're new friends you'll make that you forget about keeping your head in the ballet.
How to get your legs up for a grand jete?
in
Are there any streaches or exercises that will help me bring my legs up? As of today (3/17) I have exactly one month to get my grand jete. Is that possible? I have no coach to help me
Thank u!
Answer:
Grande jete starts in your core- your abs, your foundation is your posture- this is where you gain lift that makes a gj look effortless. Your leg strength in jete is from your thighs- the muscle that you feel when you hold your leg on barre, and lift it off? That wrap you feel from under your thigh when you lift- is where the strength for your jete comes from. Without solid technique it feels more natural to do a stag leap (starting with knee bent, and straightening mid-air) That will probably be the biggest hurdle in getting the gj down. Work on your plies at barre, and developes to really strengthen your thighs and work on your posture before taking to floor. A grand jete with straight legs, good posture, and always pointed toes, looks better than trying to fake it with flinging the legs for a wider split leap. It is a controlled fluid movement. You can find an instructional video on YouTube that will show you the proper technique, position, and placement. But don't neglect your barre work. The strength and muscle development you need will come there- and make practicing the gj on floor "feel" and look right. When in doubt- good posture- straight legs and smile!
How long will it take to learn how to do an arial? 10 points best answer?
in
Obviously 10 points best answer...
Well I'm not correct if that's the right spelling but I need to learn how to do a cartwheel with no hands. I got my basic tumbling down, how long will it take to learn, is it hard?
Answer:
Aerials are really hard! I'm currently trying to get mine(: I think it depends on the type of person. One of my friends got in a couple weeks. My other friend it took longer. About 2-3 months for her. It also depends on your strength. If you have a weak core it will be harder to do. If you practice a lot you will eventually get it. Good luck to you!(:
