I started ballet in my late teens.  I'm now in my third year and am taking advanced/intermediate classes.  I got this criticism from my teacher.  He said that I'm not using the floor.  He said I kind of skim along the surface of the floor but I don't really use it.

I'm keeping up with some pretty fast and complicated combinations at the end of class.  I really want to be a ballet dancer.  Can some more experienced guys help me understand my teacher's criticism and how I may correct this.

Thanks,

Josef
