    I'm 60 years old and just started doing these exercises. They sure do target the calves that's for sure. I did every exercise and now I'm sore from the waist down from working areas I never used before. This is a great program and plan on sticking with it. Thank you :)

    Catherine thank you! Your flexibility stretches for dancers is my "go to" stretch video, and what I recommend to others before beginning any physical routine. I recently suffered a plantar fascia injury completing a series of grand jetés in class. When I landed (rolling through the toes) I heard a pop and immediately knew something went wrong! Luckily there wasn't a complete rupture, but only a tear. I am slowly integrating stretching, water bottle icing and rolling and now your great video towards recovering from this common yet debilitating injury. You're the best!

    I've been looking for exercises for my feet to make it easier to progress in belly dancing. My issues are fallen arches/flat feet, left foot's left side pain/sensitivity, right foot's inflammation between toe joints in the ball of the foot (makes it difficult to maintain the tip-toe position). Though I focus on the belly dancing I know it would benefit me in my whole life. I've been dealing with being overweight and know that doesn't help but I'm also beginning to walk more often during the week (20 to 40 minutes) plus belly dancing. I began relearning belly dance on January 1, 2016.
