    Slightly hyper extended knees is what ballet companies look for (among other things) in their dancers. It makes for a beautiful line. But, you must work on strengthening your quads if you have this to stabilize your knees. Lunges and leg presses are the way to go. Everyone I was trained with has this to some extent (me included.)
