Thank you Thank you Thank you! As a 27 year old mother of two (3 years and 18months), I am extremely interested into getting back into ballet. I danced for 12 years when I was younger and miss the movements, the flexibility, the PASSION of it. I am looking forward to getting as much out of your site as I can. Thanks again, and please, let me know whenever new info is available!

What an exciting surprise, Anita!
I would like some flexibility and stretching tips. I’m always trying to be more and more flexible, especially in my stomach, back, & thighs.

Thank you! I’m anticipating your mini-guides!

Ciao,

Thanks Anita!
I really enjoy your web site and am able to get some great advice.
As a 24 yr old beginner, I would like to excel as quickly as possible. I would like to see some stretches, exercises, and maybe even routines. I am looking to increase my turn out, keep my heels from turning back in a releve position, and gain strength and flexibility for pointe.
Thanks for all that you do Anita!

How & where can I get the “ballet foot stretcher”?
Advice on how to improve pirouette?
