Hello! Sorry for my horribly late reply to this - I’ve been swamped with Uni work and neglecting this tumblr! I found this website through another tumblr and there are lots of exercises for the back that I’m going to incorporate into my routine: http://www.divine.ca/en/fitness-and-nutrition/exercise-finder/c_266/ Hope this helps! It’s always nice to speak to other dancers with scoliosis : )

Hello! This is where I keep notes about my ballet class and post some inspiration. I've had a spinal fusion for scoliosis and I'm always happy to talk curves!
