Ballet warmups?

Except for maybe standing on pointe, have you tried any?
Been doing feet exercises a few days for rehab/prehab, and they do the trick. Soccer tweaks feeling better already. The tiny muscles and tissues of our feet have to support all this other activity. I’m amazed that MA doesn’t seem to work on the feet as much (AFAIK). We blather on about all else, but not much about feet. No feet conditioning, no good standup.
I started doing their arm and leg warmups to see what it might be like. Only scratched the surface but - on average - I assume a ballerina is in vastly superior shape and has vastly better coordination/control than a typical IMA fat guy. Will exclude present company. But I figure they know something awesome. Especially for those who claim internal is all the more hidden, hard to reach/train tissues (I’m not in this camp but for the sake of argument). Surely their stuff is great.
Have you tried any of it? Any tips? Crossover? It’s all in bagua haha?
