Anonymous asked: But her's looks the same as a lot of professional ballerinas with her extension. Plus, a lot of methods teach that after a while your hip lifts a little, not meaning you yank it up to the sky but just to allow the leg t extend more

Yes I agree she is not the only one, but what I meant with the others lifting the hip is when they normally start the developpé by lifting the hip as they lift the knee to the max and then develop the leg. As a result the hips are completely twisted and the upper body is not square anymore:)
Each school has its particularities, I quite like opera de Paris.
