To Shift or Not to Shift?
with Kendall Alway, PT, DPT (IG: @sfperformingarts_pt, www.sfperformingartspt.com)
and Erin Yen!
There are many different teaching pedagogies when it comes to Ballet. One of the most basic moves of ballet, the tendu, brings to question: to shift or not to shift?
This can be a controversial topic. Some people shift to take the weight off the heels, but we think that by strengthening and pulling up the back of the legs, the same effect can be reached and will encourage a more integrated center.
Kendall and Erin have been exploring this in the clinic, what do you think?
Stay tuned as we continue to share some videos from inside the clinic on this topic.
