What is sickled feet?

Sickled feet is a common term used in the dance world to describe a foot that is shaped in a way that is not ideal for proper technique. This typically refers to a foot that is excessively pointed upwards at the ankle, causing the arch of the foot to collapse and the toes to curl under.

Having sickled feet can lead to a variety of issues for dancers, including instability, compromised balance, and increased risk of injury. It can also affect the aesthetics of a dancer's lines and overall technique.

To correct sickled feet, dancers can work on strengthening the muscles in the feet and ankles, focusing on proper alignment and alignment exercises, and using tools such as foot stretchers to improve flexibility. It is important for dancers to regularly check their foot alignment and work to correct any issues to improve their overall dancing technique.
