Demi Pointe Shoes

[sleepdancelove19]

I cannot go en pointe in my demi pointe shoes. It's too scary and I almost injured myself doing so.

[Jodec1994]

That's when you say... Hmm maybe it's time for new pointe shoes...

[kirsty914]

your pointes are soooo dead

[sirenrap]

There isn't a hard shank in Demi point shoes the highest you should go is maybe 3/4 pointe

[bonnieb118]

Why did you deshank them?

[graceyfave]

I'm sorry, but are you an idiot :/

[graceyfave]

that's dangerous..

[LaurenStar111]

uuumm..yeah...you're meant to use demi pointe shoes for getting your feet used to the feel of proper pointe shoes and those are lookin pretty dead....as if you've used them for pointe work?? Its very dengerous :/

[animelover1082]

i have bunions on my feet. is it okay to take pre point?

[TheFabulousAmanda]

So stupid . . .

[tatianamarina95]

i hate girls that think that they're above doing ballet properly, 'oh i'm just messing around' or ' i know i have strong enough feet'. people who say that obviously just know zero about dance and the dangers of it. and none of you deserve to have a career in dance if your willing to risk it all just so you can do something stupid on youtube.

[TheChaiTeaLatte]

@tatianamarina95 ikr! like so called dancers who believe they have strong feet or these random girls making videos of them trying pointe shoes (and by trying I mean actually going on pointe) while they don't have a clue about dance at all! they're saying 'we're just having fuun' yeah I guess it's not fun anymore when someone breaks her ankle..

[tatianamarina95]

you're a retard. i hope you break your ankles.

[Jadeismycolor]

I have to say I cringed when I watched this- I mean oh god thats so bad for your feet! *shiver* Ugh really, really BAD for em'. Though, your arches are beautiful. Don't ruin them by going on EN POINTE IN DEMI POINTE SHOES! AGH the horror! O.O"

[Jayde15arena]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!! noooooo !!!

Please dont go En pointe in Demi Pointe shoooes !!

You have amaaaazing arches dont ruin them by ruining your feeeeeet !

Yeah and Ditto on what @ShanaFlameHaze00 Your trunout could do with a fair bit of work :)

[pointeguru18]

why would you de-shank a pointe shoe? it defeats the purpose of having pointe shoes. what suports you en pointe if you have no shank??

[mydreamhorsiestormy]

guys, stop telling her that this is sooooooo bad...in my pre pointe class, we just got our demi pointe shoes and we go en pointe with them. My teacher said it's fine. so relax.

[IllAlwaysDance]

I might sound really stupid, but I don't see the point in de shanking them? :/

[missmusicmad]

@IllAlwaysDance professionals tend to de shank their pointe shoes when they've broken so that they can use them in class before shows because although the shank is no longer in them it still makes it harder to point your feet which is the point of buying demi pointe shoes as you have to work your feet harder. but as a professional you might aswell take out the shank of old pointe shoes than pay out for new demi's. hopefully this makes sense :)

[IllAlwaysDance]

@missmusicmad Ah! Thanks so much!! Really appreciate it :)

[antisocialist87]

Way to be absolutely stupid.

Do not go on pointe in demipointes/deshanked pointe shoes.

This is not rocket science, people.

[21mackdancer]

okay umm ya I was about to say arnt you not supponst to go on your toes in demipoint shoes? Im a little younger than you and I just got my demipoint shoes you might wanna be careful with your demi shoes:) GOOD LUCK!

[michellerocks9]

0:13 wtf was that fifth position all about?

[BarbieGirlDolls100]

rofl pple sould really do their research, demi pointe shoes are pointe shoes w/out a shank, they r used to help strengthen a dancer's feet before they go on pointe, OR used by regular dancers who's already on pointe shoes for regular excersies. De shanking dead pointe shoes is just a way to save money so u dont have to buy a pair of demi pointe shoes.

[msguineapigsrus]

don't ever do that again, you could hurt yourself!

[BalletBeauty98]

DO NOT EVER GO ON POINTE IN DEMI-POINT SHOES GEZZS

[balletroxmysox123]

0:13 Your left foot is rolling dangerously towards the ground.If u do that, u could get urself injured.

[gmodwill]

do you know how dangerous that is. it can seriously damage your feet

[Ballet2068]

do the demi pointe shoes hurt

[balletroxmysox123]

@Ballet2068 Well no, seeing as they're not designed for pointe. Hence the name;DEMI-pointe shoe

[amvmaker123]

Wait... you DE-SHANKED them?!?!?!! Are you trying to break your feet?! But wait... demi-pointe shoes don't even HAVE a shank! How did you de-shank them?

[amvmaker123]

DUDE!!! You're not supposed to go en pointe in Demi-Pointe shoes!!!! I just got em pointe and i never used demi-pointe shoes, but frien did. She broke her ankle and four toes doing that, and she can't dance anymore!!! Your lucky you didn't get hurt.

[loverofballet87]

you look like your pointe shoes are dead

[MrsSaddleSitter]

Just wondering and im not trying to be rude. Did your teacher tell you to go en pointe in your shoes?

[SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

you shouldnt go on pointe with shankless shoes!!! idiot!

[flycheckerboard677]

Well. your shoes were pretty dead to begin with:) but what a lot of these comments dont understand is that you need to have de-shanked pointshoes or "dead" point shoes, for any major RAD exam. no, you technically shouldnt be able to go up on point, so you should hammer em down:) nothing like taking a hammer to a pair of pointe shoes:)

[MrsSaddleSitter]

Oh my gosh, please be careful!

[nightsfire]

AHHHH. Why did you de-shank them?? They look so dead and painful! Don't hurt yourself.

[ArenSilver1]

lift up lift up lift up. and dont go en pointe unless your teacher specifically directs you to. you could injure a growth plate

[SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

What's a shank?

[amvmaker123]

a shank is basically what holds you up en pointe, other than your own strength of course.

[Angelfish821]

Are you INSANE?

[x0legenddddx0]

there is a reason why your teacher has not told you to go get proper pointe shoes...because your feet AREN'T READY.

[tuttifruttismoothie]

omg!!!!!!!! that is so bad for your feet!!!!

get real pointe shoes when you are ready. which isnt now. you are going to hurt yourself like that. work on your technique

[ShanaFlameHaze00]

it's dangerous to go on pointe on a demi pointe. you could harm your feet PERMANENTLY, if possible. you should work on your turnouts more and you have great arches.

[evesurfer]

im sorry, but you can't go up on to real pointe with that technique, its bad for your dancing.

and you do have wonderfull arches, work on your technique and strength so you can use them properly.

[BalletSwan1]

that is really dangerous. do not go en pointe in demi pointe shoes, especially dead, de-shanked ones.

[dachshundlove36]

You shoes look totally dead. Why'd you de-shank them? btw: I LOVE your arches!

[Angelfish821]

@dachshundlove36 Don't encourage her

[dachshundlove36]

Why?

She does have nice arches!

[OneLife2Liive]

Where'd you get them from?

And niceee.

[MCRaddictedx]

exactly get some shoes!

[rocluzo]

wow ur just hopeign fro a broken ankel huh?

[00Glamorous00]

wow that cant be good for your feet

[MCRaddictedx]

i know these are pre pointe kinda, but your not meant to go up on them are you?

[AFdancergirlio]

no my ballet tea cher says they're just lioke pointe but alot softer and ur never supposed to go up on full pointe.

[tdsmeg4]

demi pointe shoes are ballet shoes i think and why did you de-shank that's dumb and they seem dead but that just might be cause you de-shanked them

[xkeanax]

demi pointe shoes are used to strengthen the dancers feet before she goes on pointe :)

[michelliixxx]

ehhh hello?there is such a thing as demi-pointe shoes and they are not the same as soft ballet slippers!they are used before a dancer goes onto real pointe to let her get the feel of going en pointe before the real thing thats why the boxs are soft they are like pre-pointe shoes jeez do your research before you comment!!!

[danceteacher21]

Pre-pointe shoes are satin, with ribbons, but they do not have shanks OR boxes. Perhaps you should do your research, as well.

[tdsmeg4]

at that case i never went on demi pointe i did ballet and other dances but still i'm on pointe now

[vaanee1020]

your pointe shoe look DEAD! change it :S

[lemonblossoms]

she's not said they are pointe shoes. Shes already stated in her title that she has de-shanked them into demi pointes. Fair enough she shouldn't be going up on pointe in them. Looks like she's just showing you the difference in them.

[ballerinakt006]

ur shoes look dead :( the boxes are too soft - be careful when u dance on them!!

[ballerinakt006]

yeah they r demi pointe shoes - they have no shank - which means that u DONT go on pointe!!!!! u r not supposed to do that with demi pointe shoes because they dont have enough support to put ur weight on the tips of the shoes!! u r gonna get hurt or break an ankle if u continue doing this!! be careful, dont get hurt and stop dancing on pointe on DEMI POINTE SHOES!!

[tdsmeg4]

well if she goes on her toes if there is no shank i don't think its going to hurt her but i don't know but her shoes seem dead and if they are she is a idiot to use them

[lemonblossoms]

Yeah the shoes are dead that's her whole pointe in de shanking them i think. I admit she shouldn't go up on them even for demonstration purposes.

[ididntdoit05]

WOW don't de-shank your shoes and then dance in them!! That's HORRIBLE for your feet! There's a reason that the shanks are in the shoes, you know. For SUPPORT. You will break your ankles, if not your feet too, this way.

[xkeanax]

wtf there called demi pointes 4 a reason u dont go al the way up on demi u dumass

hav fun with a broken ankle

[MeggiePijls]

AFter class it's a bit better, but mind your left foot!

xx" Subcribe mines 2!

[dancesoul975]

your feet look horible

[craigandnatalia]

help me! I'm going to get demi pointe shoes in a week but what is the difference between demi pointe shoes and pointe shoes????

[aimeeluvkitty]

demi pointe r made of satin and are soft and dont have blocks in them

[craigandnatalia]

Thanks!

[ballerinakt006]

yes - they dont have shanks which means that u cant go all the way up on them like u can on pointe shoes because they dont have enough support. but they r designed for demi pointe and to get used to pointe shoes...they r very helpful!!

[craigandnatalia]

Thanks, its really helpful!

[MTingenue]

mmm I can feel the bunions coming on now. ppl, don't go en pointe in demi pointe shoes, it can seriously injure not only your ankles but your toes and feet too.

[19Christi70]

You better not wear pointe shoes then.

[MTingenue]

I've been en pointe, thank. at least I have the sense to do it safely so that I might continue to do so

[xjaix2kex]

good luck on breaking your ankle

[xsheenax55]

how do you de shank your pointes? jw

[JudeHarrison0289]

wats demi pointe shoes

[19Christi70]

basically, there pointe shoes without a shank.

[tuberjunkie7]

where can you get demi pointe shoes? I searched on line, but no luck. where did you get yours?

[19Christi70]

I de-shanked my old pointe shoes, but you can buy them discount dance I don't know if you can any more.

[KennyPooBear]

@19Christi70 they are just regular ballet shoes... not pointe shoes.

[xsheenax55]

You can get demipointe shoes on the sansha website, or i think bloch has some, but i love my sansha soft toes!<3

[imtheshit001]

ummm yeah youre dumb....theres a reason they're called DEMI pointe. Good luck not breaking your ankle.

[dancinballerina]

going on ur toes in demi poine shoes IS DEFINATLY NOT A GOOD THING!!! ur really good but ull kill ur feet by doing that

[mrsfuffles]

demi pointe shoes are for getting the feel of pointe shoes not pointe work you could get really injured. i am going on pointe soon and am using demi pointe shoes but only on the bar and for getting the feel of them. i would suggest that you do pointe work and video's with pointe shoes.

[whisperingswan]

Really, just don't do it again. It's ultra-dangerous (since there is nothing supporting you and you're toes are basically collapsing into themselves) and I'd hate for you to get hurt, because you're really good.

[Louoclouoc]

you should not dance en point in demi-pointe shoes, its really bad for your feet!

[SHAUNDEA]

Do they feel weird compared to the regular ballet shoes? I'm thinking about getting a pair of demi pointe shoes.

[19Christi70]

I love them.

[americangirlballet]

I never had to wear demi pointes. I wore soft technique shoes and went straight into full pointes. I got my second pair yesterday.

[19Christi70]

cool, most people don't have them.

[frankeedehavas]

i am goin on pointe soon and i dont have to wear demi pointes my teacher doesnt even no what they are lol

[CHEEKYDANCA]

demi pointes are for getting stronger feet and getting the feel of having pointe shoes on, NOT for pointe work. you should know that if you knew what you was doing.

[19Christi70]

I do know that. DU, I'm not suped.

[CHEEKYDANCA]

why did you do it then if you know?

[19Christi70]

beacause I want to.

[CHEEKYDANCA]

well you wont get far in dance life

[19Christi70]

realy?

[CHEEKYDANCA]

if you do silly things like that you wont.

[19Christi70]

we'll see.

[mahrhee]

i have a question, if your doing pointe work how come you call them demi pointe shoes when your suppose to use pointe shoes for pointe work? oh and you went over your box on one of your releve 5th.

[19Christi70]

They are demi pointe shoes beacause ther is no shank, so it's like having regular ballet shoes on, kinda.

[Faye92]

ouch!!

Demi pointe shoes are used before a dancer goes on pointe to strengthen your feet, your not ment to go all the way onto pointe in them, just demi!

be careful or you could get major injuries.

x

[sytycdfreek]

im pretty sure shes just messing around. i think its a lot safer than the people that buy shoes and videotape themselves using them incorrectly befoer theyve ever taken class and then get mad when you tell them its dangerous

[19Christi70]

It isn't just before you go on pointe.

[balletmeisje]

I think you better get a new pair! really you better can't dance on pointes like that.

[19Christi70]

There DEMI pointes, so there is nothing wrong with them, I was just messing around.

[nwrayne]

Demi Pointes are not intended to do pointe work on.

[19Christi70]

I noticed

[pointeshoediva38]

it seems dangerous..........

[19Christi70]

Ya, you should'nt do pointe.

[pointeshoediva38]

really? how?

[19Christi70]

Just rip the shank out.

[pointeshoediva38]

y would u do dat?

[19Christi70]

What, de shank them? It helps strengthen your feet.
