What makes an extraordinary aesthetic for dancers? Is it muscle tone? Height? Length? Flexibility? Perhaps it is all of these combined. While the aesthetic is constantly changing with time, one thing has always remained.....FEET.
Feet determine a lot for a dancer. How strong and flexible they are can make or break certain steps. But how do you further your feet? We are now in an age where we can buy anything to fix any problem. Enter the Ballet Foot Stretcher.
This curved wooden bar has interchangeable bands that hold the top of the foot down while you extend and straighten your knee. Your heel fits into a groove that follows the natural line of the leg, and the ankle is supports by an lift that provides maximum stretch. The goal is to have your leg complete straight with your foot in the holstered position.
This stretches the top of the foot, the toes, and the ankle.
Accompanied with this is a guide of different stretches, designed to help you accomplish longer, stronger lines and a pointe to die for!
It not only stretches your feet, but when used properly, it can help you gain overall flexibility in your legs by helping you feel the maximum stretch of your knees, thighs, and rotation of the hips.
The feedback from our staff who have tried it say it actually works compared to some other brands of foot stretchers in the market. After trying out a few, we have concluded that this one is the most effective.
