THE FOOT SERIES: episode 4
Here are two metatarsal flexion exercises to improve range of motion, arch depth and intrinsic muscle strength.
.
Exercise 1: With the ball directly under the arch, feel the arch of the foot dome up as your metatarsals push into the ball at each repetition.
.
Exercise 2: Place the ball at the base of your toes and push down into the ball feeling intrinsic muscles working. Do not curl your toes but rather push with flat toes to get full metatarsal ROM. .

Hip flexibility and strength seems to be a big issue for many dancers. However, the problem isn’t lack of flexibility, but lack of movement when we aren’t in the studio. ..
Try this exercise against a wall or your couch at home or in the studio. When upright, make sure to tuck your hips under without lunging forward to get a subtle but intense stretch! .
