In reply to: Non Irish Dancing Mama 's message, "My DD has gotten the comment that she needs to “pull up” and her teacher is telling me that she is working on “pulling up”, but that it takes time." on 18:29:46 02/19/23 Sun

These comments are made for an awareness to correct. It’s like turnout… you can’t magically turnout (some have natural turnout) but most have to work those leg and hip muscles. Irish dance is such an athletic sport. Everything needs strengthening, power and control. Work on ankle strengthening first. That is one of the biggest and most common injuries and really is used in every aspect of their dance

And don't forget straight back/good posture. It takes time. -- Inside, 07:39:17 02/21/23 Tue

How long did it take for your daughter to master pulling up? (NT) -- ?, 12:45:25 02/21/23 Tue

Depends -- Champ mom, 14:06:23 02/21/23 Tue
For DD to become consistent, she had been OC for twoish years. But if your dancer is one who executes corrections quickly, it shouldn't take as long. (NT) -- DD was so stubborn!, 19:50:29 02/21/23 Tue
- Ha. Glad it's not just my dancer. (NT) -- eew, 08:55:49 02/22/23 Wed
