The Little Ballerina Doing the Splits on a Mat

The young dancer wears a ballet outfit with a small skirt and has her hair secured in a bun. She is seated in a full split across a thin exercise mat, facing forward with one leg extended to each side. Both hands rest on her thighs as she holds the position.

Flexibility and Safe Dance Practice

A full split depends on flexibility in several muscle groups around the hips and legs. Dancers develop that range gradually through regular warm-ups and supervised stretching; forcing the position can cause injury instead of improving flexibility.

Real Colors of the Dancer and Mat

  • Leotard: commonly black, pink, pale blue, white, or another studio color
  • Ballet skirt: often matches or complements the leotard
  • Exercise mat: commonly blue, purple, pink, green, gray, or black
  • Hair: naturally black, brown, blond, red, gray, or white
  • Skin: naturally occurs in a broad range of light to deep brown tones
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Can every ballerina do a full split?
Not necessarily. Flexibility varies from person to person, and ballet includes many important skills that do not require a complete split.
Why do dancers warm up before stretching?
Gentle movement increases blood flow and prepares muscles and joints for a wider range of motion. Stretching cold muscles too forcefully can raise the risk of strain.
What is the mat used for during dance practice?
A mat provides a more comfortable surface for seated stretches and floor exercises. It can also help keep the dancer from slipping while holding a position.
