RAD, point work beginners, point shoes

[Ballerinchen1000]

is that the RAD test to come of a proffesionel academy????

[dance2felina]

@Ballerinchen1000 hi, I am not sure, but I think you have to do 3-4 professional grades (this is the first part of it) to become a teacher of RAD - at Vaganova-thats different...

[purpledancer22]

@dance2felina your welcome!

[purpledancer22]

I am 13 and i wear the solo prequels. They are the suffulks and i absolutely love them!!!! You and i both have the same arches and i think they would work out for you!! I would also recommend the bloch heritage. I hope tha helped(:

[dance2felina]

@purpledancer22 thank you but bloch are too soft for me I wear now grishko hard...

[zygomats]

Hi, you're really good.

Could you please tell me the title of the first song that played?

[dance2felina]

@zygomats sorry dont know-its the first exercise on point from the old intermediate foundation in RAD

[yovelaviv]

the girl on the right, the not as skinny girl is very good!

[dance2felina]

@yovelaviv ??? what du you mean with that comment?

[yovelaviv]

@yovelaviv well i hate how people stereotype that only good ballet dancers are stick thin and obviously this video is proof that thats just stupid! she has beautiful feet too!

[dance2felina]

@yovelaviv ah ok, now I understand! well, thats me on the right...

[yovelaviv]

@dance2felina really! you have such pretty arches! what pointe brand do you wear?

[dance2felina]

@yovelaviv in this video I wear bloch sylpuhide, but now I have to wear grishko hard and perhaps soon gaynor minden-I will see... and waht about you--feel free to watch my other videos...

[yovelaviv]

@dance2felina i currently wear block axioms. they are my second pair but ive only been dancing for 1 month an a half. my first pair i had capezios and for some reason they were dead in like 5 private lessons! it was insane. i love the look of grishkos but i have very small feet and none of the gishkos really fit on my narrow heels and shorter toes wah =(

[ilovedance30001]

this is to susukhair i used to have really high arches then i wore converse, it went away but we got these things that keep your foot up to hav an arch called an orthodic and it takes some time to get an arch but that will help u! hehehehe u should do ballet it is alot of fuuuuuuuuuuuun!

[SuSuKhair]

I Want To Do Ballet SOOOOOOO Bad . Its Such A Beautiful Form Of Dance . So Gracefull And Elegant. How Long Have You Been Dancing Ballet .?? I'm Really Inspired But I Have Such Flat Feet . Is That A Problem In Ballet ?

[dance2felina]

@SuSuKhair oh PLEASE DO WHAT YOU WANT !!! I started with 26 years, never heard anything about it, and now I am in Advanced1-you could watch my other videos and see what is possible, if you train hard and if you WANT to do ballet!! ok Flat feet are not really good, but its not mean thing! I wish you the best and DO IT!!!!!!!!!! You will love it! 

[horseandballet]

i've done exactly that! but now im going over to Intermediate :) great work, btw!

[tinydancer440]

it might help if you push your heels forward some, i noticed theyre going back and you can get injured, my teacher is always getting on me for that!!! im a beginner too! and i am jealous of those arches!! i'm very flat footed :/ but overall really strong!

[dance2felina]

@tinydancer440 ok thank you, very nice!

[Apiiful]

Awwh do exactly the same! The same music, the same exercises <3! Now I'm in intermediate foundation btw :)

[dance2felina]

@Apiiful cool :)

[ssStarable]

ur gd ur much more stable en pointe than the other girl and your leg muscles look much more worked so that overall will make u stronger to stand on your pointe ur pretty gd and may i ask what pointe shoes u were wearing in this video?

[dance2felina]

@ssStarable thank you very much!!! iam waering bloch serenade or sylphide- but these shoes are much too soft for me-now iam wearing grishko hard. and what about you?

[ssStarable]

@ssStarable i wear bloch serenades!! lol these r my first pointe shoes so i wanted something with a wide box to keep me more stable :)

[dance2felina]

@ssStarable oh cool!!

[mliaab]

@dance2felina never mind my teacher got the dvd of the new one and its pretty much the same just the music is different. good luck in advanced foundation!!

[mliaab]

i am strating RAD pointe work in the summer. is this the new intermediatee foundation ro the old one?? just asking thnx :)

[dance2felina]

@mliaab sorry thats the old one- dont know what has changed...iam doing advanced foundation at this moment...perhaps I can post the new one- i wll ask my teacher...

[Heheee123123]

Both VERY good:)

[MikRedgate]

the leg warmer girl seems to not quite be hitting the box of her shoe, but you both dance very nicely, the girl on the left looks like the shoes are good but she might have to get new ones soon.

[dance2felina]

@MikRedgate in both things you are right, now I have new shoes, very very hard ones: grishkos...thx for your comment.

[KarliShay6]

at my studio we to RAD ballet , and i will be starting pointe this year for the first time , is this the stuff we will do ?

[dance2felina]

@KarliShay6 yes you are right, this is the stuff "au millieu" and on the barre there are also stuff, but it is very easy :-) you will like it good luck and tell me how you liked it ok?!

[thedancinggymnast]

What grade is this?

[dance2felina]

@thedancinggymnast this is the first professional grade for beginners on point called intermediate foundation- after that there is intermediate, advanced foundatin, advanced, adcanced I etc., we do now point work from intermediate and are practicing the grade: advanced foundation...

[IndiaHicks1]

[dance2felina]
