Therabands

A theraband/exercise band is basically a long strip of latex that can be used to strengthen areas that are harder to work.  It is used especially for feet and ankles, to strengthen for pointe.  I have a Bunheads heavy band and it's good, but it was kinda expensive.  You can probably find one in any sports or dance store, or a store that has a Pilates/yoga section (like Target, Walmart, TJMaxx, or Marshalls).  These are some theraband exercises.

Another theraband-type I found is the Balletband.  It's like a theraband, but the ends are attached, so it looks like a giant rubber band.  It can also be used to stretch.

I hope you guys enjoy these!  I'll post some more feet tips soon.  Keep dancing :)
