Thank you, Alivia...you inspired me to start dancing even though i was 13... 1 year later and I'm in the advanced ballet company... thank you again and for all of you reading this don't give up on yourself because you will achieve your dreams even if it takes a while❤️
@Rugilė Jurgilevičiūtė just practise on your own! I did that, and my mom got really impressed so I am taking ballet classes know!:3
@@itotallyagreewithyou6586 did you watch any RUclips videos to help you?
@@TeenyTinyTales757 yes, I binge watched beginners ballet courses. Then I started to look at more difficult moves. After 5 months of training I tried my first pointe shoes (I didn't go en pointe, I just had them on while dancing) when I showed my mom my dancing, I asked if I could take some ballet classes, and she signed me up!:)
@@itotallyagreewithyou6586 Sofie Sofie do you mind telling me what channels or videos you watched that helped you? I'm currently a beginner and starting at home! Also did u like practice everyday after school or only on weekends?
@@TeenyTinyTales757 I practised everyday, and I didn't have any specific channels I watched, I just search up what I needed. Like for example "names of ballet moves", "beginners ballet class", "stretches for ballet" and "feet stretches for beginners" :)
The big question: How are your socks so white?
Issie Plays! New socks
Oml
That's what I said 😉😂😂

Hey guys:
Please be careful with a foot stretcher! I did it too long and too often and really injured my Achilles tendon, so I needed to make a 7 month long sport break.
Dana Leonie. I agree, for as long as one side is stretched, stretch the other. Never neglect the poor Achilles, it’s doing so much and it needs some care too😊
(I hope your Achilles is doing better!)
How long should you use it for?
A good tip before you stretch your arch , massage your Achilles’ tendons and make sure they are warm :)
May Finkel. I would recommend five minutes on each side, stretch your achilles for five minutes, two more minutes on each side, then stretch your achilles for two minutes. And do some ankle rolls after to work out any spots that might be tight from the stretches☺️
How often should we do it?
My feet make the most awful cracking noises when I do this lmao
Hailey Grace
SAmEe !!
Jajajajaj same
I'm pretty sure that's a good sign unless its hurting like youvebroken something
Same! :|
Hailey me to
I have flat feet and I’m working towards my pointe shoes, so this was helpful.
These are the same routine I do every night for 15 to 20 minutes and then I head to bed straight after. I've been doing that for almost 2 weeks now and I'm starting to notice small improvements in my arch and the strength of my feet! Thank you, Alivia! I may be almost 19 years old, but I'm not gonna let that stop me from learning ballet!
I want to start ballet and I know it’s never too late but I regret not doing it when I was younger
@@reallifecheeseit1 Don't let that regret stop you! Go for it!
@@madisondean1074 thank you!! I’m going to start as soon as possible because unfortunately a new season for it has already started and I missed it
@@reallifecheeseit1 Why not try and practice some of the ballet basics while you wait. It'll get you a head start.
Do we have to do right before bed to get results?
your socks are so white 😂
Vic how is that funny?
Rainbowloom Rox yahh cuz u can't keep them white
Kitsune Ile right it's like heaven lol
Rainbowloom Rox cuz she said that outta no where
Like your profile pic at the moment
I took the habit of following these advices each day since the beginning of the lockdown, and my arch is sooo much better now
How many days did u do it
I am the most inflexible person ever, my legs, back, shoulders and especially hips, but my feet are so flexible I'm so surprised, more flexible than Alivia's! They have an arch that even if I didn't dance would still be there. I'm glad though because now I know that some people were born really flexible and others have to work for it which is me when it comes to my other flexibility. P.S IDK why I felt the need to share this with you :)
You shouldn’t brag
Raven sorry didn’t mean hurt anyone, just felt the need to try and encourage myself sorry if i offended anyone
Ashriti Sharma hey it’s ok! it’s completely fine to encourage yourself sometimes...I would actually consider myself pretty flexible in other areas but my feet are always stick straight lol
I also have very low insteps so I’m trying to work on that and they’ve gotten a little better on flat but it’s on pointe when everything looks strange :/
Raven they’re not bragging
while i watched this my puppy peed in my room :(
Minz Muffin lol I love puppies
Minz Muffin 😂
Minz Muffin lol
Minz Muffin lol my cat poop on my hand...
Oops
Yay today is my birthday.
Alivia you inspire me to push past my limits 🙂 I love you
Sussell Cozar Happy Birthday 🎈😀

Krista Nick ii
Krista Nick yes
It's late but Anna Mcnulty has a video on improving your jumps❤
@@delilazolj244 so what? Alivia can post again..
i love how you do the stretches with us. it helps a lot because then you feel like you’re not alone while doing it. there’s more motivation.
I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS FOR A YEAR AND IT FINALLY HAPPENED!! I'M SO EXCITED TO DO THIS!!
I love you so much! You are so inspiring. Keep posting content like this we all adore it. You helped me get my middle splits, and this year I want to for sure get my needle and my pirouettes!
I love this! Never done any foot stretching before and my feet feel amazing! I started ballet age 22 this year and I'm so glad I found your channel
do an oversplits follow along like if you agree!!!☺
i always do it
Yeees!!! Would be very helpful
Impressive but oversplits give me the willies!😁🤩
I’m getting back into dance after over 4 years of not dancing this really helps
I get foot cramps like crazy and it hurts when I step on my toes (only sometimes)what should I do plz help 😫😊
***** thank uuuu 😊
Also, its normal for your feet to cramp a bit if its your first time training your feet like this :) It will get better
Omg i have the same problem 😭 i'm going to start ballet in setember but how could i ever have my pointe shoes if i have these cramps? 💔💔
Adm P have you done Ballett befor or are you starting cause if your starting, spits going to take a long time to get it
Laiah Clay I gt foot cramps when I do middle splits
There are so many videos on this but I always come back and watch your follow along videos. So well made and you bring out points that even the most professional dancers dont like how to correctly point your feet, thank you! You have produced so much good on youtube
Thanks for the links, couldn't find your foot stretcher anywhere until I read the descriptions again!
Can you do a tutorial on how to get your bridge? To get better arm strength in order to even get up haha, and another tutorial on how to get the last few inches in middle splits? xxx
ScarlettHeatherandRoisin She can't do a backbend if she can't do a bridge, she would hit her head
yesss pleaseee
yessss please, I need strength in my arms to get up 😅
Same oh my goodness choreographing a contemporary solo and I need this
if u cant do a bridge walk ur hands down the wall into a bridge first bcuz if u cant get up ,the only other way is to go down.hence u shld go down into a bridge position by walking ur hands down the wall
I have flat feet
this video helps with that
0kAy
wait but she has flat feet
Lol I had to read red queen in literacy class 😂
How old are you?
I use this video everyday!
do you know how long it took you to see results?
alivia! i’ve watched your vids for like 2 years now, i’ve danced on and off ballet, hip hop, contemporary, etc. i always love following your stretches. one of my biggest challenges would be pointe. my arch was horrible, and i kept getting negative comments and advice, like people saying i’m not advanced enough for pointe, i’m not a good dancer, i should just quit. but when i stretch along to your videos i always see improvement, and that reminds me that i can do anything if i just reach for the goal and become patient. i am now getting pointe shoes, and i will definitely be excited to use them everyday because i would love to see improvement and all the hard work from following your stretches, every morning and night. :) keep making vids, i love them! xoxo - atina
Thank you so much Alivia! i have noticed a huge improvment in my arch! I will be sure to check out the foot stretcher and resistance band!! Thank you, you inspire me:)
I love that mashup 😩💕 and I’m gonna do this everyday 😭
This is the best pointe/arch flexibility video ive seen. Thank you so much for the close up and careful explanation.
I love you so much Livy! Your so positive all the time and you have such good energy ❤
Legends have it, that if you are early, Livy will reply...
***** OMG Hiiii, you are such an inspiration😇
Hi Livy!I am a ballet dancer but my arches are terrible so I used this to help my flexibility. It was extremely helpful and now as I am breaking into my new shoes, it's helping to make the point more noticeable. Thanks! x
Yes I needed this because I'm about to go back to dance! I love the follow along stretching vids so please keep doing them! ❤️😍
I’ve been thinking of dancing for a while and loved ballet as a kid but I never told my mom because of how weird it was that time but now she knows I like to dance go so I came across your videos trying to revive that dream because I would love doing ballet 💕
This is so helpful! My feet are a real let down, as I have always had a flat arch in my foot, but this is helping a lot.
I love so much 😘 I need to start stretching again today cause I haven't since Friday and I try to do your daily stretching routine well daily❤

You are the best RUclipsr evaaaaa!!! I watch other flexibility workouts and they are not as good quality as yours!! Love your channel!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Aliva for this video I found it very helpful!
Amazing video! Love the follow along style. Would love to see a knee strengthening video.
thank you for uploading!! I love your videos so much, Alivia!! :) especially these follower-alongs!!
I love your videos so much and I think they are the best flexibility type videos here on youtube! you inspired me so much im starting dance/gymnastics this week! good luck and great videos my flexibility has definitely improved thanks to you!!!!!
im so ready for your cardio workout!!!
I'm not a dancer but I do have foot issues and your stretches seem to help. Thank you
Thank you! Helped with the pain in my feet and aching legs
Your videos are AWESOME! They've honestly made me a better dance, thx!
Thank you for this !! After squatting HEAVY for 3 decades , I developed terrible knee pain. I was treated for a torn ACL and was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. The "MEDICAL INDUSTRY" does not treat the cause but only the pain. I wandered around flat footed for 7 years and in despair. In a moment of recall from the distant past , I recalled someone said "you have fallen arches" ...."and what does that mean ? " , I asked...."it may cause problems in the future"....and so it came to be. I am now 55 and I can walk 4 to 5 city miles twice a week. I can squat lightly and my glutes are coming back. Thank you so much, your exercises are for "advanced" recovery and I am now at that point....One of my legs still feels a bit longer than the other but I am constantly getting better. .......Regarding fallen arches, one can recover COMPLETELY AT ANY AGE ,since it is a treatable structural defect.....I thought I was DONE by age 46 !!! *BLESSINGS !!! ~~;)
love this vid liv!! couldn't wait when i saw you editing on your snapchat. 😇💞
Omg I've been finding one video that can really make my feet flexible . Finally I found one! Love u so much !!!❤️
ur so inspirational and because of you I got my splits !
I LOVE your follow along videos! Will you do more in the future?
You should do more videos like that so that we can follow you instead of pausing the video for each movements 😊💖
thanks for this video
i love your outro so much it's so cute!!!
This is FANTATIC!! I do this all the time now! Thank you!!
Amazing video💕💞💖 It helped me so much💘
You're so adorable and pretty! I love your videos, so helpful! Your editing is on point too! :) I just began doing some of your flexibilty improvement routines daily and the results are already showing :D thank you!!
Fiercelivy aww you replied!! Thx
I love your videos! They are SO inspiring! Keep up the good work😘
Just did it all and my feet are so much more flexible! Thx! Will be doing this everyday!
If possible, could you do a wrist flexibility video? I love your videos so much and this is one of my favorites.
Amazing❤ thanks Livy❤
I have done it for some days and the pain has actually reduced so much thank you
Omg thank you so much I am a dancer and after doing this routine multiple times my arch improved tremendously!!!
*Thank you so much i am working to doing self-taught ballet you are a huge help! c:*
How do you start self-taught ballet? just need some tips
I needed this! I started ballet recently, and my arch is fine right now but I wanted to improve. Thanks!
so you know how long it took you to see results?
How old are you if you dont mind me asking

I had a foot injury years ago and I’m starting to get back into dancing. This is very helpful!! Thank you!!
thank you for making this! i’m beginning pointe classes and wanted to improve my arch, this video was really effective.
omg thank u soooo much i have flat feet an this helped sooo much!!
Did you get an arch?
Girl my feet hurs but my arch is almost tuching the floor so am realyyy Happy Thank you your the BEST👍👌btw love you
Thank you so much for doing a follow along video it's so cool and easy to follow along with while stretching/exercising! Xxx
whew! good foot work out!!!! love your vids!
Can this also help people with a flat arch in their feet?
Victor Stewart It might take longer, but it will help.
Victor Stewart the ones where she uses a foot stretcher or the couch are 👌. Once you do that practise pointing your toes to increase the actual arch strength. What I focus on is relaxing the muscles on top of the foot by using say an arch stretcher. Then actually strengthening the arch by pointing my foot. Hope that helps.
OMG I need this!!! I have really flat-footed feet so this will help :)
Did you get an arch after doing these exercises?
I do Irish dance and this has helped my arch so much!!!😁😁
Thanks for the correct way to point my feet really helped
Omg thank u!!!!!
Guys please be careful with a foot stretcher! Make sure you feel the stretch in the right spots ! Not the Achilles’ tendons ! And don’t hold it for like 2 minutes or crazy numbers! Only 30-45 secs MAX! PLZ B SAFE!
I'm not a ballet dancer but this helped with my flat feet :D surprised there aren't more people who do this
Thanks!! Thai was much needed today. I must save
How often would you recommend doing these exercises to achieve a ballerina-like graceful pointed toe? I do pole fitness and having pointed toes is a must. I also have flat feet, not sure if that affects my ability to point. Thanks!
Twice a day
never been so early!!!!!!
This is so cool!! I'm gonna practice it daily and I'm not even a dancer! Thanks. 💕
hey alivia thank you so much i just started watching your videos today but i already love them im gonna try my best to push past my limits i just started pointe and im a little bit behind everyone else but with these streches i know i can get up there with the rest of them thank you so much!!!!:)
Is it just me or is everyone else sat in bed can’t be bothered to move
After the feet stretches or just never doing the feet stretches?
just wanted to remind everyone that JESUS IS LORD. HE IS OUR SAVIOUR
Amen ,I'm a Christian😊
Amen
Amen
I'm gonna use this right now ! awesome video ! Luv u
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
first I love you
I always try and believe but it's so hard I feel like giving up. I try and try but I'll probably never get it. I'm about to do ballet but I think I won't make it. And I love you so much!!!❤️ I hope you reply and help me.😔💔🤸🏼♀️
Ciara's Vlogs continue trying😀!! Don t give up!!!
1.puah past your limits☺
2.have fan!!
@@annvik3772 Don´t* Push* Fun* :)
What exactly are you trying to get
But whatever it is you will get it someday as long as you push through the pain, even if it seems endless
If you give up however, you will never get it
If you push through the tears and pain you will come out of the end of this long tunnel, stronger than you ever have been
You will learn to push through everything, develop your willpower to stop you from coming out and eventually, it will get less painful
If you take my middle splits for example, I was screaming in pain, but I didn’t let myself relieve from the horrible pain I was in, I pushed harder to the point where I had to bite my wrists to stop myself from coming out
A few months later I’m sitting here, writing this comment with my middle splits
Anyone can do it if they try but if you don’t try and push past your limits you’ll never improve and you will eventually give up
Think of it as a rope that you can climb to happiness or you can fall into the sadness down below
What would you choose? Well obviously the happiness at the top of the rope, but it will take effort, pain, tears and willpower to get to the top, for the happiness that lives up there
If you can muster up the grit and willpower to just keep moving up that rope, if you can get up there you have it
If you fall down and give up you’ll never get it
Don’t let go of that rope 💖💖
I love you Livy and your my favourite youtuber your videos have helped me so much
Your exercise s are so effective. THANK YOU😊😄😄
I always have troubles doing the five positions... I mean, I can put my feet in the right position, but no way I can keep the balance. do you think it's a flexibility problem? or rather a balance one? If you could do a video with exercises to solve the problem, it would be more than helpful for people who have the same problem as I do.
With love 💗 And thanks again for all the flexibility videos. I started very recently and I'm sure I'm getting some results :)
Leerya P. I don't know if I can help you, but I think that it is that your legs aren't so turned out. It would be better when you would do "smaller" fifth position and over time you can do right fifth position and I think that it could help☺ I don't know if I said right reason, but I do ballet and I think that it could be like this☺
Eliška Krafková That could be the problem! Thanks!
Leerya P. Do the frog stretch. Will show results immediately.
you should strech more
wish me luck :)
Omg the song !! It's so good hand to myself+ love yourself it's great
