@mamc90

yes exactly.

[rachaeljack20]

[peacelovecali]

so helpful!

[Laissemedanse]

HELP!! I don't know what to do!!! I will get my first point shoes in a few days and I don't know if use GEL PADS or no use anything or another type of pads..

I have to know because of the size!

(sorry for my english, I speak spanish)

ThakYou Lisa for the videos!

[Balletdancelover]

i think that when you are still growing ( i don't know how old you are) you should take cheap padding, because when your feet grow your padding will be to small. when you don't grow anymoreor when you are rich i think you should take gel pads, i think they are the most comfortable (and the most expensive).

also it depends on how much you dance.

i hope you can use it

Xx

[GiuliaGK]

start with the standart ones. They are really cheap so if it isn't enough you can always buy other ones

[rgscballerina]

you should check out the padding for pointe shoes video. :)

[SaRaAnDhOlLyXx]

I use blister plasters, they are like a gel pad, I use them on my heels even though I don't have a blister yet!It really works, try it :)

[Nadirahdances]

My instructor doesn't allow "ouch pouches"...I get lambs wool and band aids...

[tdsmeg4]

my friend could use this lol

[babyballerina16]

[yepduckie]

It's Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet. It's the track called "Montagues and Capulets"

[babyballerina16]

I've only gotten a couple of blisters. All in the exact same place, my pinky toe! It was from the friction, my shoes were to big! I got smaller shoes and I will wait and see if I get blisters with these.

Thanks for making all these videos! They're really helping me out!!

[AsshoNext]

some ppl have more senstitive feet then others, that would explain why some get blisters more then others. its all about finding out what works best for your feet.

[BillyElliotLover96]

my feet r lyk made of steel, i am 12 and have been dancing en pointe for 2 years, no blisters!

[sytycdfreek]

i only get blisters when i do wear padding...

[danceillusions13]

yeah me tooo...

[pointequeen97]

ive tried so many things but i keep gettin blisers.its only my first day and i already have blisters on all of my toes!!!

[skalbritton]

what kind of padding would you suggest a 13 yr old (whos on her 2nd yr of pointe, with not much experience) ?

[gbdancer94]

I suggest ouch pouches.

[idanceballet2day]

I've only ever gotten blisters from wearing no padding once..thas all..if i wear padding its fine!

[hiphophurray94]

I don't understand... I have never gotten a blister from pointe. I have been dancing for maybe 6 months on pointe and yet, no blister. It's weird!

[sytycdfreek]

I'm a fairly new beginner on pointe. (1 year). All my friends that got their shoes at the same time as me are using those huge thick gel pads and are still dancing on their pleats and in extreme pain. All I use is a toe sock on my big toe and tape on my little toe with one of those tiny thin little gel pads that sits on the inside of the platform. I have almost no pain, Weird.

[pointeshoediva38]

sytycd rocks!!!!!!!!!!

[sytycdfreek]

[pointeshoediva38]

[pointeshoediva38]

i bet!!!!

[Sanonino]

what is the name of the music played in the begin and the end of the video?? i really like to know :D

[grmagi]

The music is Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.

[19Christi70]

I love that music.

[janeyanna]

I tape the two toes I used to get blisters on. With two bits of tape per toe (one on the top, one underneath, both overlapping each other) so the toe isn't wrapped by one piece that (worst case) stops blood circulation in the toe.

Works for me.

[Clockmouth]

thanks for that!
