Ballet/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer lots about ballet, specifically the Vaganova syllabus. I'm still training, but both my parents were professional dancers, so most answers will be coming from them, not me. :) They're the experts. Obviously, questions about difficult technique, etc, would be better answered with someone else, but if you're just becoming interested in dancing, or are having problems with basic steps, like pirouettes or plies, then I may be able to help
Experience in the area
I've seen ballet since the age of 0, because of my parents, and I am training to become a professional dancer now.
Education/Credentials
School.

I think that flexibility largely depends on what you are born with but can vary from day to day. What seems to have happened is that you overstretched a bit in the evening doing splits. Your hamstrings

It sounds like you need to work on strengthening your feet. Practice your releves (8 on each leg, 16 on both, 3x a day). Also do some ankle circles and theraband exercises. http://www.thera-bandacademy

I'm not sure what type of school this is (is it RAD, Balanchine, Vaganova...?), but it's good that you were happy with it. Did you feel your daughter was improving? Did she feel she was improving?

It sounds like you should look for an adult class! Many studios offer classes for adults so you'll be around people your age or older who are all just learning ballet. You can learn ballet at any age!
