How to stretch after ballet class - Ballet tips with Sander Blommaert

I’m often asked how to do ballet stretches or what are some good ballet stretches. Well In this YouTube video I’ll show you the key stretches I do after every ballet class. Stretching after class is important to avoid injury and improve flexibility.

These are the most effective stretches I learned in my time in the Royal Ballet and hope to pass my experience on to all dancers of all abilities and anyone wishing to improve their flexibility.

These are great stretches for the entire leg, calves, hamstrings and hip flexors. Whilst I recommended always stretching after class these are also good stretches to do at home, so save this YouTube video as a favourite!


I hope you enjoy the video, and comment suggestions for future YouTube videos below.

Remember to warm up before class too! For my warm up video click here:
