Sorry, I couldn't view the picture!.
If the 'flick' looks like this:

Then I would say all you need to do is point your toes!. Ballet IS about making lines, as someone else already stated!. Why do you think you need to wear pink tights and slippers!? It creates a continuous line!.
Hope this helps, have a nice day!!

It's just practice , honestly if you keep practicing it will come to you and it's called a winged foot ;)!. The reason why we do it is because ballet is all about creating lines with our bodies !.Www@QuestionHome@Com
