You may want to incorporate some pilates and/or yoga into your workout. Most dancers that I know do some pilates or yoga. Pilates works your inner core and can give you a long, lean, supple body, and helps you move more gracefully.

Stretch ALOT everyday. I always stretched after taking a hot bath at night. Another excellent supplement to your daily classes would be to find a qualified Pilates instructor.
Pilates is fantastic for gaining long muscles and increasing your flexibility in your back, and legs.
www.pilates.com would be a good starting point for finding a pilates instructor. Any good ballet school should have access to pilates or similar conditioning for its students.
Good luck and keep stretching!

Technique or conditioning classes would help that a lot too. Not all studios offer one or both, but if you can find some where that does, they will do wonders for your flexibility, body and dance skillz!

Try the yoga stretches on the site below. Obviously, warm up first to prevent injury. :^)

1.do a bridge (roll backwards hold your hand on the floor like preperation for backflip)
2.grab your legs in this position.
3. kneel to start momentum and roll like a wheel

If you can do the splits, try to stay in that position 15 min a day and it will help your back as well.

Stretch more, mainly in the legs and back.
