written by Mancer at on 22.03. at 00:06:28 - as answer to: How do I improve my arch? by Catherine artcorner2003@yahoo.com at I think you have a real nice curve to your ankle (good ankle flexibility) in the point shoe. It saws to me you are going over a little bit, but not excessively it seems. Keep an eye on it as you may get some tenderness in your ankle or will notice yourself way over your toes, if you do you are doing something wrong. Remember to lift out of the shoe when on pointe. You foot seems to have a high arch in the soft shoe pose as your metatarsals are in a straight line with your ankle bone. REally, I see nothing wrong with what you have already in terms of range of motion. Why do you want more? If you are finding it difficult to keep your feet pointed when you do jumps and such you may need to learn to control your lower leg muscles better or work through the foot more when you jump. Working through the foot at barre will help you with engaging your foot and leg muscles with more control for center floor work. Answers to this message:
