Answer 1

Yoga will help you become more flexible. Some of this will come with age, you are working on that already! Sometimes we feel the gloomiest about something, just before we breakthrough.
Just stay positive & keep on with your work!

Answer 2

stretch everyday and yoga would also help
and exercise for like 1 hr everyday to lose weight. eat but not as much make sure to have a good breakfast though and dont eat as much junk food. stretch when there is a commercial(when watching tv)get a good night sleep so you wont get tired during ballet classes ask teacher for advice remember to always point your toes, your movements have to be smooth.always do the best you can.if you are tired dont give up until you are done with your ballet classes.practice the movements u think u need too improve when u have extra time.maybe have your teacher teach u alone a few times a week.do solos for performances (it helps you improve a little faster)do yoga a few times a week too.

Answer 4

bypass and spot a fabulous style of ballets. i could recommend seeing the Royal Ballet or the ny city Ballet in case you get the prospect. learn the way they flow and their expressions and attempt to incorporate this into your dance. additionally, you need an stunning instructor and purely a fabulous style of prepare.
