She might have chosen to use different ribbons than the ones that go with her shoes because her shoes are Russian Pointes and their accompanying ribbon is VERY thick. It may be a matter of qaulity of movement and the aesthetics sometimes take a backseat.
You need to break those shoes in a little more before you try dancing in them. Step on the boxes with your heel so they'll have more give, and bend the shanks a bit more so they'll support you better. Then finish breaking them in by dancing. That will help you a lot!
You don't step on the very tops, on the platform. That would completely defeat the purpose of the shoe! Just the sides, etc. to give them some give in demi-pointe.
Just like kbuie said close in fifth position after each échappé but also get those heels down each time you close or else you will get tendonitis. Very good. Much better than many of the other girls shooting videos on point.
I have russians and they work good for me

oo but be careful with the boxes because you dont want them caving in (very easy when applying pressure to the very tops of em) X33
lahv the pointes though
are russians usually that loud? cause i know theyre hard.. so..

i really cant tell you that for sure- everyone is different
but i have high arches (these shoes dont show them as well b/c they werent broken in), and i tend to break in the shank very quickly.

They're very stiff aren't they?
Very lovely, though.

Be sure to close into fifth position after each échappé! Maybe that is just the Balanchine in me... lovely arches.
