Need Advice for Foot Strength/Getting Over on Pointe
Hello! I can’t seem to get fully over my box on single-leg pointe.
I recently returned to pointe after a 5 month break due to an injury, although I continued dancing during that time, just not on pointe.
I’ve been on pointe for a little over 2 years now, but even before my injury, I still needed assistance from my other foot to get up onto pointe on one leg because it feels so difficult for me.
I’ve done countless foot strengthening exercises, but I still can’t seem to get fully en pointe on a single leg. Any advice, exercises, and recommendations would be really appreciated 😁. Thank you! 🙏
