Pointe work

[MariahandLauren1314]

i can't wait 2 go on pointe i'm going on next year

thumbs up if you are you are 2

[angelbaby624101]

I can tell there dead because mine are the same way..So you can still use them until you get new ones try pulling back through your foot and heel and it helps a lot so you don't go over your box and hurt yourself

[IntellegentBallerine]

Are those black tights?

[pointeandSPARKLES]

You seem to be putting more weight on your right foot, but other than that Great Job!

[dsp200907]

This is awesome especially if you just started, check out my video sometime?Thanks!

[dnysyd]

oh and also about your comment on someone elses comment above, it doesnt matter how strong your feet are, you dont go up on pointe with your feet, you go on pointe with your whole body, and technique really matters too.

[dnysyd]

Can i give you a tip? Well you should really wear pink tights while in pointe shoes. black ones restrict the look of your arches to a minimum, but if you wear pink your arches seem like they are bulging out. just a tip! :)

[horseandballet]

well, i think those are dead :p

[dogsinheaven5]

they r not point shoes stupid faker

[MissBalletQueen]

@dogsinheaven5 Yes they are... And it's not point it's pointe.

[ZombiesRcoolify]

im usre youve got this alot but please! do not do pointe on carpet i did when i first got them and the bottem of my box was ruined i went to my teacher and she says that not only will it hurt your shoes but your feet too so yeah

[xXLauren678Xx]

You have really good arches! kEEP UP WITH THE GOOD WORK!!

[mizyki]

Hmm.. I saw someone else asking, so I might as well ask something myself (even if you aren't pro XD). I've loved ballet since forever, went to it 3 times but wasn't accepted so just went along and did other stuff. I'm now 17, and practising "for fun" with my cousin each week. I have pretty strong feet already. If I went and got pro training, how long do you think it'd take for me to be able to wear pointe? I already tried my cousins (that are two sizes too small XD)

[balletbeast20]

you have great feet, so dont ruin them by dancing on carpet haha, seriously you can hurt urself but besides that great job

[jennybabe614]

you should definitely get new pointe shoes... not only is dancing in dead shoes bad for your feet, they also dont look great

[danceelove23]

You need to find woo floors!!!

carpet n ruinyour pointshoe!!

Great job!

Keep it up!!

[kirstielol95]

are you on carpet?

[Serenity244]

make sure ur second position is smaller 'cause otherwise its harder to get fully onto the platform, but other than that ur really good, keep it up!!!!!!

[themsiheartdance97]

my favorite song, especially when im depressed like this. you are a beautiful dancer. almost as good as me! ;)

[KLOKLOKLO456]

Aww,poor you,I hate when shoes die! :p The next ones are never as comfy!

[XXSNIPERSKILLZable]

they dont look dead

[jazzigurl1127]

i have been doing pointe for 5 years now since I was 11. It was very hard at first. Your arches are great but try in second to not lean on your pinky toe. Other wise it was great!!!!

[missjasmine626]

omg i cant wait to get my first poine shoes and be as good as you at my studio you have to be in grade 7 im already in grade 4 so i cant wait :) hope i can as good as you one day :)

[MsDancer365]

When you went up on 1:37, that was very good!

[wakeandbakesam1]

Cute song for this video. Nice work..

[jasminexcooke]

Please don't do pointe work on carpet.

[AmiDancer98]

lovely arches :)

[AnimePonyDragon]

Those shoes do look dead, because sometimes, you're knuckling.

[dancergirlmh]

Like this if you see the dance studio as home, and home a the dance studio!

[xXxileonsXx]

ohh~pointe shoes are great...but i kinda twisted my ankle cause on my releves and pauseys...(I really dont care if i spell em wrong) cause i went over the tip of the pointe shoe

[xXxileonsXx]

hey...on 0:40 i think you have to turn out much more...your right foot's arch was a little too of...

[chloisha1996]

your ankles ae sickling the tiniest bit, just be careful :) i made that mistake and broke my ankle :/ xx

[madfil2012]

What shoes do you have in this vid?

[balletchic2580]

for being your first pair you are pretty good! im sure now you are really pretty good!

[balletchic2580]

for being your first pair you are pretty good!

[Makaylaybreh]

the right foot is stronger you should work on your left foot's arch!

[snowy123ist]

if you start ballet at an old age, will you be put right away on pointe?:) i'm a great fan of ballet

[gabbygumdrop28]

i know this is a random comment but, pointe shoes look so cool if u wear black tites ( might have spelled that wrong) under them :)

[97babygirlspice]

when you do you relevays you shouldn't jump as you can hurt yourself and you shouldn't do pointe work on carpet

[BalletTapJazz]

You really shouldn't do pointe on carpet.

[TropicalTulipz]

love the black tights idk it makes it seem like ur in costume

[MissMansonThe2nd]

it may just be me as i have only just started myself, but it looks like you shoes have been broken in a little too far down?? apart from that i think you are a very good dancer x

[chocolate12345123]

I think your shank looks dead. also, the box might me dead. just feel the back, center of the box and if it's soft, then your pointe shoe is dead.

Also, at around 56 you looked like you were sinkin gin your right shoe, it looked like you were about to snap your ankle. Pont those feet hard at 1:19-1:33!

[warriorcatslover1002]

Your shoes are too soft. You can see that you're 'sinking' into your shoes. It's a good idea to get a new pair.

[KooKiiE74DaNceR]

It seems like you can still push over on your left foot when you're in second position. your right one looks beautiful

[AutumnLove23]

what kind of pointe shoes are they??

[fezziwink]

Heyy! :) You wern't too bad, but never just jump up onto pointe!!!!! You could hurt yourself! Roll up onto pointe, don't just plie and jump! And in your coupe (idk how to spell...) you should have your ankle of your back foot right next to the ankle of your standing leg, not wayyy out behind it. other than that, good job!

[bethany706]

you have incredible arches but your toes need work. try a theraband for that. it will help strengthen your feet as well as fix your toes.

[MissMandiiee]

Ok im no pro but u shouldn't really do pointe on carpet u might hurt ur self (:

[5dancerchick]

very good heres some tips...

1. back coupe, you want to open your knee up more

2. 5th make sure the heal of your foot is right by the toes on other foot (if that make sense))

3. put of some sutinu (no idea how to spell) turns that would be nice

[dhballerina86]

are you on carpet? if you are, thats not a very good idea..

[greenfroggy09]

can you watch my first pointe video? and give me some tips? thanks :)

[BeautifulBlondeTV]

your sorta hanging out your shoe a bit and that might be because your shoe is dead but all in all it is very good x x x

[paisleyj1]

good! but i think you should be on a hard surface

[hiyagurles]

i think ur good im jus about to go on to pointes :/ lol ughh i dont wonner ma feet guner bleed like mad lol xx

[TheWannabeBallerina]

ure feet dont 'bleed like mad' wen u go on point for the first time. they dont bleed at all. ure toe might get a little sore but that is all.

[x0legenddddx0]

you would be better off on a hard surface... perhaps you could get a board or sometin

[carothershannah]

hey nice video!!! can you look at my videos and give me some advice and if i am ready to go onto pointe? Please?!?!

=)))

[rissie999]

your shoes were arched in the wrong place.and yes the are totally dead

[dncrgrl57]

what kind of shoes are you wearing? it looks like u have really worn them out, i would suggest grishkos next time. also when u are rolling up to second, i would try to scoot ur feet in a little more as you go up, ur second is a little wide and it can be hard to dance like that, (i would know, lol.) hope that helps. (:

[ErikaDawnH]

personally i would say you need a shoe with a higher vamp and harder shank . Looks like you're doing very well !

Doing some theraband exercises will help with your feel flexibility and strength (:

[twnkltz2]

try gaynor mindens. they are a bit more expensive but they last a lot longer (they don't break mid-sole, the ones you're wearing look like they're broken right there on the arch). gaynors are really flexible and help you roll through the toe! they're also quite comfy! (as far as pointe shoes go ;) nice turnout girl!

[ZishyAngel]

Wow, you have amazing feet.

Like everyone said, just get some new shoes the next time you go to a pointe store..because those are fraying a bit. :)

[balletgymstar]

Ur gd! But how old are u? They are nearly dead! You should get grichos! I'm 11 and I've been en pointe 4 a yr and I had grichos as my 2nd pair and they were really gd with my feet!

[ArielCaasi]

how old r u??

i just started pointe this year.

[mandiescool]

i think they are bent in the wrong place. you are supposed to have them bent right below the heel. it takes a lot of pressure off the toes(:

[peacelovebbxx3]

i was in dance for 10 years and all 10 years i did dance and i was in toe for 3 years b4 i got my toe shoes

[thecharlotte407]

hehe when ppl wear black tights it reminds me off when i first got my pointe shoes and i was wearing black tights when i got home i tryed to go on pointe then fell over and missed the first pointe lesson i was so sad :(

[dumbblonde599]

Apologies, my left your right vv

[dumbblonde599]

I see that you got new pointe shoes, but just a pointer for next time - you can tell that the shoes are close to dead when you're knuckling over the vamp and your foot's rolling foward en pointe (see your left foot at 0:53)

[usalj15]

Good job. The only advice i would say is to pointe your left foot more (your left my right). Other than that good work!

[Swirls100]

Hey im starting ballet soon. Im 13. How old do u have to be to go on pointe?

[unavalablemee]

There is no specific age to go en pointe, it just depends how strong your feet are and how long you have been dancing for, it is usually between ages 10-15. Do not get pointe shoes unless your teacher has said you can because this can lead to injuries.

[cuzproductionz]

I was 12 when I got my pointe shoes and now I'm 15, you really should have 2 years of ballet or more before you start pointe though and get permission from you dance teacher first.

[brontecullen]

@Swirls100 im 15 and ive been doing ballet since last october and im on pointe so doesnt really matter wat age

[hollywoodhoney1]

@Swirls100 You should go to a Pediotrist first to make sure your feet are done growing !

[kirstielol95]

@Swirls100 at my studio you could try out when you were 12 but i just got mine and im 15

[danniedanca4lyfe14]

u have amazing turnout great job

[MCRaddictedx]

GOOD FEET BAD SONG

[kellyisbetterthanyou]

the person below me...you can do it either way. its just 2 different moves. eleve or releve

[ballerina757]

Hi, I think you do great pointe work! Even though your teacher says the shoes are almost dead, you danced in them very good. I hope your mum got you a new pair!

[unavalablemee]

I got a new pair finally. Check out my new videos!

[BellWard0neO0ne]

maybe try to da a vid a little higher up so we can see how your working your knees.....but good work...

when in back coupe turn your knee out and make sure that your heal is at the base of your calf you have it a little high as of now

[unavalablemee]

I got some new ones. Check out my new pointe videos!

[unavalablemee]

I got some new shoes. Look at my new videos!

[spinkychan]

It's pretty dangerous to do pointe work in dead shoes, definately think about getting a harder shank, and tell your mum it's dangerous for you to do pointe in dead shoes because they don't provide the proper support! If she wont buy you some new ones, save up your pocket money :) Your technique is nice, you obviously have strong feet and ankles, wouldn't want to ruin them with bad pointe shoes!! Another thing, try not to practice on carpet, it's not stable enough. Good luck!

[unavalablemee]

I got some new ones!

[balletexpert101]

they arent faulty. you've probably just got really strong feet. i had the same problem. maybe, i would try a hard shank. they're hard to break in, but they last forever

[unavalablemee]

My mum still won't let me get new ones. I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Next time i get some (hopefully soon) i will get a harder shank. Thanks xo

[balletexpert101]

Hi. i think your shoes are dead. You have incredible technique though. Sorry if you haven't already gotten shoes. lol

[unavalablemee]

Hey thanks for the comment. I haven't got new shoes. My mum wont let me because she says they are faulty if they haven't lasted me long. I don't know what to do now!

[mochimi123]

Hmm, I don't think you've broken them in in the right spot-- next time try doing it higher up on the shoe, but good job!

[balletdancer923]

With your next pair, break them in higher on the shoe so they're last longer and look prettier! Keep up the good work! =D

[xjaix2kex]

Definitely dead, it's causing you to knuckle, great arches though!

x

[juanvidz]

yep, very nice work!

really professional ...

[unavalablemee]

lol i don't think i will
