backonpointePlease read my FAQ before sending me a question.

I'm a college student and a dancer, and I'm working to lose weight, gain muscle, become more fit... and help others do the same!

My Ask Box is always open to questions, suggestions, or if you just need to talk. If you'd like something to be answered privately, just let me know in the message. (Note: anonymous questions cannot be answered privately.)

“What are some good exercises to make legs stronger for pointe? I start pre-pointe in September but want to start working on strengthening my legs now. Would running be good?”

I actually have a workout to help with getting ready for pointe!

Running’s going to be hit or miss. Some dancers love it, some find that it reduces their flexibility in their legs. I prefer swimming and trying other forms of dance as training.
