Hyperextension-knees coming up?
So in pike stretch:

whenever I straighten my knees all the way my legs and feet come off the ground slightly. I have seen people do this in straddles and I was wondering if this is a sign of hyperextension? Also are there any dancers who are not hyperextended at all or is every professional female dancer hyperextended to some degree?

No. This happens to everyone, even me and I'm not hyperextended. If you are hyperextended, your heels won't touch if you were to lock your knees in first position
If they come up a lot then you are hyperextended. So far I have not seen any dancers who are not hyperextended but I don't know every dancer in the world. Google it and see!! :)
