Why are hyper-extended legs good for ballet?
Hyper-extended legs have a good side, and a bad side. First, the
bad side (sorry haha) the bad side is that if they are too
hyper-extended, a lot of tension can build up in your knees and
that makes it painful to bend and straighten or have your leg
straight for a long period of time. Over hyper-extended legs can
also increase your chances of breaking or stress fracturing which
can lead to breaking. You have to be careful and take good care of
your knees if you have hyper-extends.
Now come the good part. C: The good news is is that your feet
look really nice (the way the arch). They make your feet look a lot
more pointed and they make your legs look longer. Hope that helps
