Carefully, while working all those necessary and intricate muscles groups. I can tell you that you probably became considerably weaker in the past 6-7 years without dancing.>If all you can afford is to dance 1 time a week...then you should practice 3-4 more times a week. Most pointe students are well trained and dance regularly to keep the necessary muscles stong and lengthened.>But the final decision as to when you go on pointe is through your instructor. I would say go for it!. I am a returnimg dancer of 25 years break!. I have found an excellent teacher, who has trained me back into pointe in 18 months. I am delighted. It is my dream. Let nobody put you off. I also do yoga and have excellent strength in the legs and feet. work hard nad your reward will come. Never say never!!!Jane Answers to this message: |
