Techniquecorrectly pointed feet & sickled feet

Identify the correct technique.

GOODUse a ruler and draw a line from A to B. In this line the thigh, ankle, and toe are all in line. This is a correctly pointed foot.

VERY GOODUse a ruler and draw a line from C to D. See how the ankle is slightly above or in front of the line? Ankle lifted. This is even better.

NOT GOODUse a ruler and draw a line from E to F. See how the ankle is sagging below the line? This is a sickled foot. This is incorrect. A sickled foot is unattractive.
