the five long bones of the foot, leading to the toes
metastarsals
solius
underlying muscle of hte calf, acts only on the ankle
the two arches of the foot
longitudinal and transverse

two exercises from barre that specifically strengthen and articulate the intrinsic muscles of the foot
tendu, degage, plie, frappe, releve
the ankle is
a ball-in-socket joint
the ankle is capable of
flexion and extension
internal lateral ligament
one of the strongest ligaments in the body and almost impossible to rupture
external lateral ligament
one of the weakest ligaments in the body and can be sprained when the foot rolls to the outside and twists
ankle bone
the talus, connects the tibia and fibula to the calcaneus of the foot
achilles
the tendon that connects the muscles of hte calf to the calcaneus bone of the foot
reasons why a flexible ankle joint is necessary for ballet technique
aesthetics of the pointed foot, high releve, deep plie, flexibility of the whole leg, springing action, power in jumps
three factors that can contribute to an inflexible ankle joint
tight calve muscles, short achilles, bone structure
in proper use of hte weight-bearing foot, weight is spread out over how many points?
three: 1. metastarsal connecting to the pinky toe
2. metastarsal of the big toe
3. the heel
perroneals
the two muscles that run along the outer side of the calf and can contribute to "winging the foot"
supination
sickling the foot, adducting and inverting
dorsiflexion
flexing the foot, turning up at the ankle
plantar flexion
pointing the foot, extending the ankle
pronation
winging the foot, abducting and everting the foot
each rib is attached to and hangs from
the spine
alignment of hte rib cage happens correctly when a dancer is instructed to lift from
the back of the body
a ballet dancer aims to have these qualities/positions in the thorax/upper body
-expressivity
-mobility
-eloquence
-relaxed chest
-elongated neck
-easy breathing
the principle muscle used in breathing/respiration is
the diaphram
what are all the directions that the ribs expand in to accomodate breathing?

the shoulder blade is an
extremely mobile and flexible joint
the two bones of hte shoulder girdle that lie against the back of the upper ribs are
the scapula
the bone of the upper arm, that connects to the glenoid cavity, or socket, is
the humerus
the bone of the shoulder girdle that rests across top of the chest and attaches to the sternum is
the clavicle
in open-armed second position,
the upper arm is rotated in, the lower arm is rotated out, and the upper medial edge of the scapula, nearest the spine, moves down

the clavicle
in open-armed second position,
the upper arm is rotated in, the lower arm is rotated out, and the upper medial edge of the scapula, nearest the spine, moves down
in third position, the position of the clavicle is
down, relaxed
the bone that comprises the knee on the upper end of hte leg is
the femur
the bone that comprimises the knee on the lower end of hte leg is
the tibia
the other, smaller ancilliary bone of the lower leg is
fibula
the kneecap is also known as
the patella
what is the purpose of the collateral ligaments of the knee joint?
stabilize/no side to side
what is the purpose of hte cruciate ligaments of the knee joint?
stabilize/ f/b movement
deviancy in the knees
cross eyed, knock kneed, bow legged, sway back
extension of the knee joint is the job of
the quadriceps
flexion of the knee joint is the job of
the hamstrings
