What is a "forced arch"?
A forced arch is a position used in dance, particularly in ballet and some other dance styles. It involves raising the heel of one foot while keeping the toes and the ball of the foot on the ground. This creates a deep arch in the foot, increasing the flexibility and strength of the foot and ankle. The forced arch is often used to achieve a specific aesthetic or technical effect in dance, enhancing the dancer's lines and movements. It requires careful control and balance to maintain the position and integrate it smoothly into the choreography.
