Point & Flex!

There are some simple ballet exercises that you can practice every day, whether your 3 or 30! Stretching our legs all the way down to our toes can be accomplished by a simple point & flex stretch! Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out, your back straight, and your arms relaxed. Point your toes as far as you can and stretch your arms down to reach them, then flex your toes back towards your chest and slowly sit back up! Miss Margie has a wonderful song that we sing to help remember this exercise:

Point & Flex them <--- at this part, just point and flex your toes, no arms!
Point & Flem them
Point those pretty feet, feet, feet! <-- point and flex your toes opposingly!
Point & Flex them
Point & Flex them
Do not cross the street, street, street!
Creep them, Creep them <--- start to "creep" your arms down your legs to your flexed toes!
Creep them, Creep them
Right down to your toes, toes, toes!
Creep them, Creep them
Creep them, Creep them
Do not touch your nose, nose, nose!
