Tendu, Tendu, Tendu x a million but make sure that you make full use of the floor and the metatarsals. (don't forget to concentrate on turnout also. rond de jambe is also a good concentration exercise for turnout :o) also check for sickling feet Therabands are also a wonderful tool as is picking up marbles with the toes, rolling a tennis ball under the foot, massage as previously mentioned. walking along the beach in sand (this is also good for shin splints) hope this is of some help :o) Please feel free to ask if you are wanting further exercies - I have 1000's Try writing the alphabet A-E only in both lower/upper case.

Also get a tennis ball, and stand on it, both the ball of the foot and heel; and roll it around the bottom of your foot, that should help loosen up the muscles & tendons on the bottom of your foot.
