Fouettes on pointe-Brigitte age 12

[MichelleArtsProd]

How long do your freeds last I was thinking of switching to them?????

[Dancegirl1999]

@MichelleArtsProd Unfortunately Freeds are lasting me about 2 weeks only but they fit like part of your foot so it is worth it!

[dancelover955]

wow! great job, your hard work is really paying off! are you going to a summer intensive?

[Dancegirl1999]

@dancelover955 I just found out on Friday that I got into SAB in New York!!!!!!!!I am soooo excited:)

[pointevids]

WOW! How long have you been on pointe?

[Dancegirl1999]

@pointevids I have been on pointe for 2 and 1/2 years.

[missdanceforever]

Nice! I'm just wondering, what method do you do at your school?

[Dancegirl1999]

@missdanceforever We use mostly Ceccetti but I have a teacher that knows Vagonova and one that knows Balanchine.Kind of some of each!

[Balletgirlhopepointe]

you are amazing but try to control your foot as it comes from pointe to flat, other than that everything looks good.

[Dancegirl1999]

@Balletgirlhopepointe Thanks-will work on that!

[ChocoStrawbery14]

What maker freeds do you wear (if classics)? Or do you wear studios? I love my Dmaker freeds

[Dancegirl1999]

@ChocoStrawbery14 I wear studio two-I LOVE them:)I think all Freeds are good though:)

[Buddingballerina]

YEY!!! go Brigitte!!! :)

[CocoCreations]

I just started point but I have kinda well...horrible feet. They aren't to bad, but my tendu is fine at my arch but the top of my foot still looks flat as if it wasn't completely fully stretched. Is there any thing I can do to improve this?

[Dancegirl1999]

@CocoCreations Have you tried working with a thera band?They really help over time.

[missolive10100]

You have REALLY strong ankles! 

[99Balletlover]

brittney how can you do fouttes on point how can you go up on point?

[Dancegirl1999]

@99Balletlover I'm not sure how to describe it but after 2 1/2 years of pointe your ankles get strong enough to hold you up.

[99Balletlover]

@Dancegirl1999 you are so amazing at it!

[xBlackSwan]

How many hours a week do you dance and how many private lessons do you take ?

[Dancegirl1999]

@xBlackSwan I dance 25 hours a week and I take two private lessons a week.I also have a little ballet studio in my house and try to spend an hour a day in there if I am not too busy.

Happy Birthday!! Great job on the fouettes!!

[xBlackSwan]

which kind of pointe shoes do you use ?

[Dancegirl1999]

@xBlackSwan I wear Freeds.They don't last as long as some but I love them!

[missdanceforever]

great job brigitte! how many hrs do u spend a week on pointe? when did u start pointe?

[Dancegirl1999]

@missdanceforever Thank you! I am probably on pointe about 6 1/2 hours a week.I was 9 when I started but my studio is really careful about starting slow on pointe and getting strong enough.This is the first year where I really feel strong enough to do more!

[orangekneepads]

You are doing awesome !!

[ellaclairefordance]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! my sweet sixteen is tomorrow :) how do you handle blisters on your toes?

[Dancegirl1999]

@ellaclairefordance Happy Birthday to you too! I put on a lot of toe tape when I get blisters but that is not too often thankfully!

Are you learning to fouette the Russian way? Looks good so far! Keep working on getting a high retire and clean fifth with each pirouette :)
