@robynst8 i'm 14 and starting pointe this summer at age 15... 9 years old seems a bit young, because the muscles in your feet are still very soft and tender. they'll harden up at around age 12. i know how badly you want to go up en pointe!!! i've been there! but you should just take it one class at a time. wait until you've been doing ballet for at least 3-4 years and are comfortable with the fundamentals of dance. then you can ask your teacher about going up en pointe! Good luck!! :)
I'm not Anaheim ballet, but I've been dancing for 11 years and I have absolutely no tap background. I did it for about 2 months and quit. ballet is completely different, and while some moves might look alive you definitely don't need tap background to do ballet.
Ballet is the base of all dance. If you can do ballet you can do any dance. There are so many moves in other types of dance that are from ballet. So no tap needed, but if you want to do tap you should do ballet to help with the tap.
Thanks Samantha Great advice!!! Hope I can dance like you one day! It's Wonderful to see you again!!! It would be fun to hear how many different ways dancers approach finding their centres THANKYOU ANAHEIM xxx
ok that girl whose been on pointe for three months is crazy becuase i barely have my fouettes and this is my 3rd year on pointe... im so nervous when i do them
Me encanta el ballet, aqui en Mexicali ay pocos recitales, pues voy a todos asi que me enamoro de la danza expresiva aunque me gustaria saber mas aun de este arte
omg! 3 months and shes that good already! bloody hell i suck :L i can hardly do a pirouette in normal shoes and ive been dancin since I was 4 haha .... great vid! once again
Wow she is so flexible and her turns are just beautiful. I can't turn very well on pointe at all and I've been doing pointe for almost 5 years. Another excellent video from Anaheim Ballet.
Three months? SHE is already doing fouette turns!!!!! I cant even pirouette on pointe (not very well... ) and I've been on pointe for three years this August.... Gosh. I suck .
Wow how is everyone at anaheim ballet so amazing at turning? and that girl doing fouttes who had been on pointe for 3 months? do they have a video on pirohettes cause they should...
of course she is flexible! she can get her leg up past her head!!
