You can sew or glue the ribbons into place

[balletlover10]

i have a request for a video on foot stretches!!!!

[Ballet4Everz]

It's called a thera-band

[SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

what's the stretch band called?

[hbanana7]

the arch of my shoes don't last as long as i would wish, and the shoe cost stacks up fast! I'm totally trying out the jet glue AND the hair spray on the bows!

[cutemoma012]

try a heavier band

[icyDream091]

could someone explainme the glue´s idea? im not very well at listening, so i didn´t understand.pleaseee¡¡¡

=)thx

[MolissaSmithy]

awesome thanks

i have been looking every where to for an exercise to improve me point and strengthen my ankles now how about knee strengthening

[anorexicpenguinfly]

hey can you guys post a video like this except addressing issues of extention, turn-out, and such things? it would be great to see what you all do to help your flexibility and strength!

thanks!

[Imika1]

PAAHAHAHAHHAHAH WHO HASNT HEARD OF THE THERABAND AHAHAHAHAHAH thats hilarious

[singer2b123]

i dont find that very funny

and i didnt before this video

[primeauxox]

when you put the glue, will it dry in clumps, like per say if you "glue gunned" them?

[flitmature]

nope - jet glue is really thin, it soaks right into the fabric like water. that's why it stains - the fabric looks permanently wet, lol...

[cksantiago]

no it won't jet glue is more fluid than glue gun and it spreads evenly

[peacelovecali]

thanks!

helpful.

[Allakma]

OMG ive been on point for 10 years!

[dancinfroge]

I actually already use most of those tricks! It's cool to know I'm not the only one who hairsprays my ribbons...

[BillyElliotLover96]

yep, lol, i thort i was alone in this world

[tnydancer009]

MY feet literlly suck.

I have huge feet (size 9/10) and I've noticed that it's harder to make it look like your feet are pointed when they are larger.

When I point my feet I feel absolutely no stretch in my arch. I've tried the theraband and I dont feel it when I do that either...

What am I doing wrong?

My feet look literally disgusting because it looks like they arent pointed when I really am pointing them...

Help anyone?

=[

[balletrocksmyworld]

there's a type of ballet shoe called Gaynor Minden, and they really help show off an arch. They may not strengthen your feet but they'll look much betther :) keep going with the theraband, it'll help!! xx

[ssassassa9]

Very true. I have a pretty terrible arch too and my first point shoe was a bloch so I didn't fair so well. Now I have Gaynor Minden and it rocks. I should start on with the theraband too!

[cutypie12]

maybe your shoes are broken in yet, so just keep dancing and it will eventually break in!

[jediballerina007]

Gaynor Mindens are very good! and they can strengthen your feet; try a softer GM shank like Supple (it's like a broken in paste shoe), or Featherflex (it's like a shoe that's starting to die). Pianissimo is like an almost dead shoe! it's their lightest shank. hope this helped, good luck! :D

[nanigina]

[kirafaye]

we used hair sprays if got forbid you start to get the tiniest run in your stockings before you go on, also clear nail polish in a pinch

[paulinhatrinta]

[GothicAngelX3393]

I remember the hairspray trick! Back in my ballet classes, once our teacher Ms. Kim showed us the benefits of applying hairspray to your ribbons, although we never at the time actually used pointe shoes.

[janeygirl14]

hahahaha

[anthonmax]

i love the thraband stretch...

[primeauxox]

does it help an arch? because mine's not bad, but i want it furthur :)

[emx2a]

[KaptainKlancy]

*Dramatic Re-enactment* LOL

[avery996789]

[avery996789]

[BalletCava]

mh mm just wondering if you could give us tips on how to keep pointe shoes so they can "live" as long as they can!

[tubeur000]

wow!!! thanks very much. you guys are absolutely smashing

[chauntellems]

you guys amaze me!

i must say however, could you please make a video on how to sucessfully do turns.

and how to not throw up whilst doing them.

i had to stop ballet a few years ago due to costs, but i am trying to home learn. the diy vids are great!

[snowblower81]

Gosh I think you guys should do a video devoted to piruettes...(sorry for spelling errors lol) If you havn't already. I'm an aspiring ballerina here who just learned how to do a SUCCESSFULL double en pointe! YEY ME!!!!!

[ThaTchubi]

haha, I love your videos xD

[balletbabe62]

awesome!

the hairspray worked on my ribbons

[BeechSundowner]

Nicely composed video!

[Shaylob]

These videos are always amazing

It seems the ideas never end

♥Teena

[SerafinaLily9]

Great video idea! Jet glue really is a life-saver, and everyone in my company uses the hairspray trick to keep ribbons in place. It's never failed me!

[xPiratesFanx]

Awesome vids :D

[akito175]

WOW! The glue actually worked on my pointe shoes!

[GirlPhantom]

Awsome! I'm definately trying that with my pointe shoes!!

...when I finally go en pointe that is...

[XManRCJ]

Thanks for the thera-band stretch tip Patrick. Learn something new every day.
