@MUSICisLIFE1429 were they fitted for you? i heard gaynor mindens are supposed to be incredibly comfortable. if you ordered them online try going into a dance shop next time to have a professional size you. if you did do that, try someone else? or tell them the issuse your having.
@noybw333 i dont really know... i went in and i tried a couple pairs and the lady said this particular pair was fine. i wasnt sure about it, but i was stupid and bought them anyways. i think theyre just the wrong fit, but i havent been able to go get new ones, so im stuck with them
@MUSICisLIFE1429 :( ? try lots of different padding if they're too big i guess, and itf they're too tight try to stretch them (though Gaynor Midens claim to be un-stretchable, lol so good luck) I'm sorry, those are pricey too!
You were great, especially when you take into account your injury and the fact that you were still fairly new. It's a real shame you've stopped dancing.
you need to pull up out of your shoes ALOT...cuz thats not attractive. and also, when you are coming down off of pointe, dont clunk down, roll through your feet.
This is my oldest pointe video in which I was recovering from torn ligaments in my ankle and am wearing very dead pointe shoes. But I don't dance anymore, so it doesn't matter.
i have a few questions because i'm about to go on pointe and i need to know about pointe shoes. I have heard that they are comterable is that true? Is it better just to buy a different pointe shoes? If so what kind? Lastly do you recommend them? If not why? Asked to anyone who sees this. ANSWER BACK ON MY PAGE BECAUSE I WILL FORGET THIS EXACT VIDEO! I will be asking other people just to get a group result.
I just went to Covent Garden in London and there is a Bloch shop. My shoes are soso comfortable. They are Bloch Sonata I think. Mine are really good beginner shoes and they come with a bit of built in soft gel at the toe bit and with ouch pouches too it's absolutely fine!
That is very true. you have very pretty arches but your knuckling doesnt help you at all... and sickleing just a bit. if you work on your knuckling youll have the most perfect arches.
Ohhh right. yea same...kinda... i quit one studio becuz they had to close and i havent had the chance to get back into another one. Ive been doing warms up and stuff on my own at home but i need to get back into the studio :/
ur feet are more amazing than i thought they would be ! i was wondering, i have noticed i have had the same problems as you, weaker left ankle and slight sickling in the left also (not to sound mean to u)...but what shoe maybe helped these problems or what kind of exercises could help me strengthen them? because i have seen your progress and strengthening and im getting my 4th pair of pointe shoes soon..please reply. Thanks!
I just got to a point where I was doing the exercises you see in my older videos every single day and about 30 reps at a time. And I was dancing en pointe everyday. But we were preparing for a show, so it made it really easy to stick to and do them everyday. But I don't even dance anymore, and I would probably look awful in pointe shoes.
Thank you soo much. I`ll just have to find the time to do some exercises, because I also do piano and my assignments and homework just keep piling up! It`s a shame you do not dance anymore..you were talented. Thanks again very much! -deppHEARTme :)
i have capezios too! they make my feet lok better than they really are. ;) but u r still sickling on the left foot... but i do that too. just u always have to think pointe the big toe extra and the pinkie toe not as much and that ushally makes everything better. nice work!!! :D
i think your arches are beautiful, maybe its because you are just starting on point again,i mean...i dont use my points 2 days and the third one, when i use them...sooooo painful, need to practice...but dont worry, time pases...things go better!! good luck!!
oh ok. well they are the only pointe shoes i've gotten so maybe they are..lol i mean i've tried on diff kinds but i've always bought the capezio glisses.
It looks as if you're "knuckling" a lot. It may just be the fact that you haven't been on for a while, or the shoes. But see if you can fix that; other than that, good.
They're good for some dancers, not for others. Pointe shoes are a very individual thing. You need to get a professional fitting to see what works best for you.
you have very nice arches. dont sickle, remember to fully pointe yor toes, and make sure that not just your standing leg is straight ...but both of them.!
my God that is sweet i respect dance soo much ya i am guy that play lax and football and that stuff and i tryed that and it hurt soo bad lol keep going i am sure you will go far!!!
If i were you i wouldnt be on pointe so soon after an injury. believe me i've had one. when you do go up it would be good to point your feet in your shoe because otherwise youre going to hurt yourself again by knuckling (sp?)
I got new pointes, and I don't knuckle in them because they fit SO much better. I not over-doing it though, I'm only doing pointe once a week for now. :)
I danced for six years, until I was twelve, then took a six year break and started back January of 2007. So I've been with my current studio for about 10 months.
omg i LOVE your arches!!!!!!! so jealous! good luck with your injury you should probably wear tights with your pointe shoes but w/e! other that that like perfect!!!
what happened that you stopped dancing?
