I know this will be a pretty basic question to some of you, but bear with me, please. It's a question of balance. When I'm standing in 5th and go into releve, I get all wobbly when I take my hands off the barre to raise them in 5th. <br></I><p>I find that damn tricky too - I reckon most people do. My only suggestions is to watch that you're using all of the front of your foot to stand on, not just the balls of your feet; i.e. make sure your feet aren't rolling forwards, if you see what I mean.<p>Oddly (and I know you're not supposed to do this) I find that resting the heel of my front foot against my back foot helps enormously (i.e. like standing on my back foot). I think it's a sort of illusion, but it feels like I'm propped up, & I stay much more steady.<p>A. <br><br>[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
