Wild Wednesday Hamstrings
Are the phrases “Pull up” or “Squeeze
the seat” not working for you? Do you still struggle with finding the necessary
lift to put you securely “over you leg”? You’re not alone. Getting over
your leg is a constant struggle for most dancers, and some days are
better than others. Sigh.
Let’s try a different image today. Imagine lifting your hamstrings. You know, that muscle group that
lives on the back of your leg. In one of my previous blogs: http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/search?q=hamstrings
, you can see a diagram of this area of the thigh.
Try imagining a lift in this area and
see if it works better for you.
