Q: I do lots of ballet a week and feel like im using the wrong muscles for many steps which is making my legs very bulky. This is not the desired look for a dancer, I know. So how do I lengthen my legs and avoid making them big and bulky. I feel like thier getting bigger and bigger each class! please help thanks!
A: well one major thing to do is to stretch. you should be stretching out your muscles after every class. also, especially on adagio and just lifting your legs in general, be sure not to use your quads so much and try to rotate and lift using your inner thighs. i know, it's difficult, but once you find the right muscles and start using them, it will get easier. best of luck and i hope this helps!
