  How to make a Twisted Ballerina actually twisted.

  Posted by luvlee on March 24, 2011 at 12:01 pm

  I feel like my Twisted Ballerinas always look kind of stiff and not quite as twisted as I have seen them done. I think this is a lovely move, and would like advice. Is it all back flexibility? If so, this is my culpret. I do not have a very flexy or giving back as some do. I have been working on it though and will continue to do so. Are there any back stretches you all recommend for this one? Thanks, guys! : )

  I've always assumed I couldn't even try a twisted ballerina because I didn't have enough back flexibility. So no help on that side. But, I did learn recently that a lot of what appears to be back flexibility is actually hip flexor flexibility. I'd love to hear about some new stretches to try too.

  Wierd—I was working on this move today after giving up months ago. Takes me a while to figure out where to put my limbs….and it still just looks funny to me

  Here is a thread about it from a while back:
