[Jodec1994]

[BabySharkSong]

[mangamacho122897]

I know this was FORVEAHH ago, but you improved SOOO much from ur first pointe vid, which you probably know now. Just wanted to say, really nice job!! :)

[KLOKLOKLO456]

[miamiibabiee]

[SportyBabe323]

[purplesparkles080]

i just started pointe at simones. And ur the one who inspired me too do it. Its very funn and if not for u i wud not hav started something that i relli hav a passion for so thankyou!:)

[lilanza]

@purplesparkles080 Heya. I'm really pleased to have inspired you to do pointe! :) Good luck! Have fun! :D

[Astrathiul]

Very nice! Just a tip though, whenever you come out of a position and you had started in fifth, make sure you land in fifth too. You have really amazing feet though! But you need to work on your turnout a bit and make sure than when you go into fourth your feet are crossed infront of one another, your front foot is shooting out to the side, but very nice :)

[smileyzzheartzz]

you did get a lot better(: just sickling a little still but otherwise you are pretty good(:

[kqueen433]

it looks like you are kind of rolling over on yur box but i think i have those shoes arent they awesome? you should try keeping your shoes on and have someone like your teacher to help u with the sickeling and the rolling over

[michh3589]

woww! you've gotten soo good :)

your shoes are beautiful!

[carlyheartsdance]

I have the same shoes (:

[dudleydoright13]

you are very good for a begginer on pointe

[dancingqueen12100]

WOW ! U GOT ALOT BETTER !

[PinkIce2335]

Ballet is not under sports! BTW wads the song name?

[lilanza]

Dancing is a sport ... :/

The song is Bury my head by Kate Walsh

[PinkIce2335]

Ballet isn't a sport. It's under Arts and Humanities. (SP?) and anw thx for the song name.

[dansedu92]

Dancing is an art!!

[PinkIce2335]

@lilanza

Ballet or and dance are ARTS . They're forms of arts .

[Ilovepointe134]

@PinkIce2335

i really hate people that say ballet is not a sport it makes me so P.O it is to a sport no matter wat people say!

[NatalieNooNoo1]

@PinkIce2335 FUCK OFF IT IS A SPORT. TURD

[PinkIce2335]

@NatalieNooNoo1

It's under arts and humanities. Don't believe nvm

[FallenAngel1235]

im no ballet student so tell me plz...

wat does it mean to sickle?

[paaaaaigelee]

Sickle is when you point your foot and it kinda angles...haha get what I'm saying?

[FallenAngel1235]

ohhh okai ty :]

[AmandarinaBallarina]

you sickled a litlle, when you go try and press your big toes down :D

but other wiseeesss REALLLY GREATTT!!!!

[Sophhyy]

This is much btter ^_^

[mianick123]

So beautiful :)

[KatanaAlana]

Hey don't think I'm stupid but I just started pointe and I don't know what it means when you sickle. Can someone tell me please? Thanks! =]

[aMangaFreak]

when you sickle your foot it basicly means that your ankle and your foot aren't lined up properly.

[balletmadlucy]

i love your arch.... im so jealous :p

what song is playing?

[rarrrdino]

Good picay(haha i think thats how you spell it)

[ShinkuChan14]

Pique. :3

[djswindell]

When you go on pointe, your heels turn inward some. Try to keep them turned out more, especially when your in fifth position because it's very noticable then.

[lilanza]

thank you! :)

[SWAGGAhPUff11]

how long did it take you to do ballet until you get to do En Pointe? and i loved ur video, ur good! hah i just started ballet for a few months now, and i have huge interest into doing En Pointe but i wanna know how long it will take>

[lilanza]

aw thank youuu! ^_^

Urmmm I did 3 years of ballet. Im grade 5 on demi pointe :) It all depends on the person though!

[Budscer]

remember to close your first!! But your doing really good. This is my first year of pointe too! It's always encouraging to see other people doing pointe who have started a little bit later like myself (i'm sixteen)

[theaps514]

when you are doing the achpates (don't know how to spell it) go up into fifth first than do the step

[MrsJacobGrimes]

im 17 and i started pointe when i was 15 a freshman in high school. its really fun once your able to actualy get up there and do some stuff like turns and borres. it does hurt for a lil while. i bruised under my toenail from it popping after going up into 4th. but thats ballet for u XD

[everyloss]

you're fantastic! <3.

[Atomimonkey]

I've been in dance since I was 2 (i'm 12)

You are very good, but a little tip, when you Achpe(idk how to spell it :P) your dragging your feet, you need to spring off the floor , so you don't drag.

[everyloss]

echappe =)

[Atomimonkey]

lol, thxx : P

[loulafump]

wow ure good better tan me lol !x

[SHILproductions]

ooh, your shoes don't look too broken in, or your arch is low. Hm.

[lilanza]

i have a super high arch! My shoes are still very stiff here! My shoes are better broken in now and show off my arch!

[goosiey3]

this is much better than your first video! you look a different person!

[sheepity812]

i'm getting pointe shoes soon (YAY!) only criticism ( tuck your spiders in)

[lilanza]

hahaomg yeh! I always do normally :S Must have had a forgetful day! :)

[dancerinstipeysocksx]

WOW.. ur very talented.. ive been dancing for all my life .. ive done cheerleading, tap modern, lyrical but never ballet ,, i really want to start, im 13 ,, am i too old to start,, oh and iv3e been wondereing ,, how much does going on pointe hurt.. thnx

[lilanza]

aw thank you! 13!!! that isnt too old to start!! I started ballet at 12. stopped for 4 years and started again !! Ive only just started pointe and im 19!!!

Go for it! :) Pointe hurts for me quite a bit, but it varies from person to person tbh! :)

[kcxgirlx]

you have good shoes very broken in your lucky

[lilanza]

lol! lots of bending and slamming in doors etc! does the trick! i suppose i have had them for about 5 months now!!

[strangesugarfairy]

I think you're AWESOME!! You're much better than I am. :( I have to practice more. *runs off to practice pointe*

[kdogsti]

I wish i was doing ballet AND POINTE SHOES

[dafizz0x0x]

[02collinss]

[chunkymuffinx3]

[lilanza]

bury my head by kate walsh x

[chunkymuffinx3]

ha i know i looked at the tags(:

but thankss.

[dancerxxx26315]

you improved from your last video for sure!

you have really pretty arches. just try working on your turnout and watch out for sickling. but overall your doing good.

[clarabalettactingNY]

i think it looks great!!! just a little bit sickling here and there....

[hannahroxursox]

how long did it take for you to get from your last video to where you are now ?

[lilanza]

urmm about 2 months? maybe 3. x

[ididntdoit05]

Get your teacher to show you some good turnout exercises. That will help you immensely. I have problems with turnout myself, so I know how it is ^_^ Strengthen that left foot and ankle so you can get it up to par with your right foot. But a definite improvement, and great work!

[lilanza]

awh thank you :)

[MagicMushroom66]

A definate improvement :)

x

[pinkdancer0708]

Way better... good job!!! Make sure you try to get completely over your box on your left foot. I think you did much, much much much better then your first video!!! Great JOb!!!

[lilanza]

yeh my left def isnt quite as good as my right! lol thanks for commenting x

[lizballetdancerx]

your really good, just be carefull to land in fifth, not third, unless u wer ment to... o wel :)

[hikarissanctuary]

Your feet are SO much better in this video. Much much muuuuch better. Now only other thing I could say is try and make your arm movements more fluid. But they weren't bad...just a little tip. Well done on improving.

[lilanza]

thank you ^_^ yehh my arms were being quite random lol. xxx

[nickjonasobsession]

really good!

[dancengyrl]

great form, keep it up!!!

[faamaduro2]

not bad!!

need a litle more improvement!!

nice legs!!

can i have your email?

[myemilrob]

you need to break your shoes in more to allow more ability. Also, think about keeping a tight fifth position en pointe. and make sure your not over crossing.

[glitterzombies]

good job! you have strong arches, but you could turn out a bit more. keep practicing! :)

[MissEyeliner92]

Really good!! Just make sure to roll a bit more coming down. What my class does is just step onto pointe in parellel, and then slowly lower through demi to flat. It also breaks in your shoes really well!!

Your lucky to have wood floors! I have to clean my kitchen floor, then dance there.

I like your hand stand-like thing.

What kind of shoes are these?

[xxLeannePx15xx]

Wow! your brilliant.

[lilanza]

aww thank you ^_^ x

[Veganluke]

I can do that easily haha :)

Really good!

[lilanza]

haha! i would love to see that sometime!! :P lol x

[waagemensch]

damn you are good , but it looks dangerously

[lilanza]

haha im really not! but thanks :) its not too dangerous if your careful! lol x

[stefidoo]

im impressed. you have definitely improved.

however you still need to break your shoes in more. x

[lilanza]

haha why thank you my love :) yehh i know :/ its hard ! I should probs use them more often! x
