No no no no non! I hope you have gotten a better teacher since you have posted this. Also, your shoes don't look like they fit properly. It could just be the camera or it could just be your feet (no offence meant)
Make sure you snatch out in your echappes from both feet. Close into fifth for every closing and put both heels down or this will cause shin splits! Also try not to jump onto pointe! Don't stop practising! You will be amazing one day :) Have fun xx Love Monique & Julia
Be careful not to jump onto your platforms, use of the floor is very important. You're sickling your feet, and that's dangerous. You do it most when your warming up, so be careful. You should do some foot and ankle strengthening exercises too.
When I got my toe shoes it was a right of passage. I went with my ballet teacher to the best place and was given the best shoes that were fitted for me...it was such an honor and I will never forget that day.
grishko 2007's are what i've been wearing for the past 10 years and i think they're great shoes if you know how to use them properly. you probably need something with a shorter box so you can get over it; you're also sickling your foot too much and it's not safe. have your teacher examine your shoes for proper fit :)
Try turning out more and not jumping on pointe. Roll through demi, THEN pointe. Try to get over your box too, but i think the shoes are just new and need to be broken in a bit. Practice makes perfect! (:
your echappes werent bad you just sickle a lot.maybe you are just unsure of yourself on point.do some strengthening exercises so you can be more confident and not sickle
i agree w/ lylasax. good echappes, really bad sickling. make your foot the shape of a flagship. and don't bounce into an echappe, it should raise from the calf muscle, not from jumping into it.
Tho only problem I've seen is the sickling of your left foot, other than that the rest is okay plus you have really nice arches. I'm flatfooted so my pointes looks flat when I go up. Sucks to be me. (Sigh...)
Why, in every ballet video I watch, are people so harsh on each other?!? Just respect each other and be there for each other, not everyone is a professional! People dance because they like it, so please don't hate! It's so silly...I just don't get it... Tips are good, but don't hate!
Please work on your turnout. I also suggest using Grishko Maya or Gaynor Minden. The tips are larger and can improve your balance. They might be a little more expensive but trust me, they're worth it.
your left foot is 100% turned in which means that all the turn out in your right foot really isn't there either. your going to hurt yourself. please stop.
Don't worry, you will most definitely improve with time. But for now practice slowly, I find it helps, and when your doing steps on pointe, analyse your every move and make sure you are always on top of your box, your feet are turned out ect, before moving on to another step or position. And ignore the hate about you not being en pointe, your feet will grow stronger :) <3
Try using the floor instead of jumping. And also, don't flex your point by turning it inward. It get your foot accustomed to it and you then have an turned in foot. Hope this helps!
Try working through your foot more, use the floor instead of jumping. You have to break in the demi on those shoes. You do sickle quite a bit too. And don't pratice over pointing, it's a bad habit. You want to rest on flat part, not leaned past it.
OMG ! onde está a meia ponta/ ponta para descer dos echappes ?? lembre-se de sempre arrastar e jamais pular, isso faz mal para os pés. Quando iniciei meus estudos na ponta eu pulava nos echappes e tive uma dor terrivel no calcanhar. Use a técnica certa, sempre.
primeiro compre um sapatilha compativel a seus pés, estas sao muito fortes e seus pes sao fracos. Ah e tambem quebre a sapatilha esta nao esta quebrada ainda
your pointes look pretty new in this video so I am guessing you have only just come on to them? if so then don't panic, echappes and releve's and whatever you do on pointes will not come straight away! It's a slow process! When I first got my pointes at the beginning of the year I felt as though I had started ballet all over again because I couldn't do much on my pointes! I have been doing ballet since I was 3 and do quite well in competitions and exams so I take it I am an OK ballet dancer!
be very careful not to sickle, however your echappes aren't bad - i think you just have a stronger right foot, and so you think that your left foot is going wrong
just think positive and work on strengthening your left foot :)
Just try to get your heals forward and brush up onto your box. Also those shoes don't look quite right for you. try a shoe with a shorter box. I think you will be able to get over your shoe better. Hope this helps! Keep on trying! :D
you're sickling and you're not on your block when you go up. Try taking it slower and working through your feet as opposed to jumping into the echappes.
i love grishko 2007's that's what i have, you just need to keep doing strength exercises and stretching your feet and turn out, they aren't terrible!!!!
I think you need to strengthen your ankles and when your doing echappes do them slower and try and get right over the block instead of doing fast straight away and try to not sickle your foot
you can tell your pushing your feet into the ground to make your arch bigger....... i have been danceing since i was 2 1/2 i should know and i went to a FAMOUS ballet school..................................... BUT THATS BAD
Some of that stuff I think you made up. Some of that I've never seen O.o
Btw, you need to work on your sickle. Also you said you just started, you shouldn't be doing echappes yet, and if you still really want to, do them super slow it builds strength and eventually you'll get it. And on your echappes your hopping en pointe, you can break your toes and ankles doing that.
Please be careful and do ankle strengthening exercises. While you're not at all bad you have a sickle and don't quite get over your pointes. But you're so close, keep working at it
apply pressure as you go out into your echappes! it will help with the strength in your feet and having stronger pointe work.. echappes and releves are similar in the way that your feet have to move about as much as your big toe is long, before going up onto pointe. what you are doing is actually called a press up because you are not moving your feet, just going up... also work on your turn out. it will help immensly!
you're not crossing your fifth all the way and you aren't getting all the way en pointe. I have a pair of grishko 2007 but im switching because they just don't form right to my feet. Maybe trying a different brand of shoes might help as well.
Keep your legs straight and your upper thigh+ butt engaged. I know this may not sound like something that might help your foot, and I know those weren't even visible but you can tell. It is the surprising root of wobbly ankles and turnout, even getting over your pointe. I would just say work with your foot a lot--massage when watching a movie, stretch while waiting in line--I used to have a weak right foot but its fine now! :)
i had grishko 2007s also, but all they did was help me sickle more! i switched to capezio glisse, and boom! most of the sickling was gone! I definitely recommend switching shoes!
what i find helpful is doing a lot of forced arch combos and really focusing on rolling through your feet the entire time. also . breaking them in with my hands.
guys, she wants constructive critisim, not just "oh ur sickeling" or "you have bad turnout". don't say wat the person below me said, cuz it dosent help her...
Not bad, just don't jump onto pointe. That will cause you some problems. And watch so you don't sickle your foot and you'll be fine! Pretty good for a beginner
you knowsomething you are realy perfect do you think you are a bad dancer you are not i am the worst dancer has ever excisted thos awful georgia balet solos are mine i shame for my shelf for uploading those ballet tortures was the worst idea
i had in my 12 years old life i will be regreting for lifetime for uploading them but you can watch if you want to and comment too
You need to be careful of the sickle! Once you get that under control I think all you need is just some "tightening up" and a little more lift and turn out through you knees and your legs. This will make it easier to pull up. REMEMBER the string through your body !
Yeah, TheSierra is right. You've got to work on our ankle muscles so you don't sickle your ankles because if you keep doing that, you will end up with an injury. Good luck! Dancers Unite!!!!!
alright hun... you sickle your feet ALOT!!! and your super duper noisy... think light like a pretty ballerina!!! :) hahahaaaaaa keep on working! your gonna get there
Some day I need to find out what is meant by "sieklling" other than that what caught my attention is how far back the ribbons are attached. This does not look traditional from what I have heard.
the think the echappes look awkward just because you aren't going back completely into fifth and you kind of hop into second instead of pushing your feet through into second. Keep working fellow dancer! :)
Your worries!!!!!!! Talk about sickle city!!! I mean, I'm really trying not to be rude, but I find it hard to believe that your teacher let you en pointe with your sickling. However, you look Like you have wonderful feet. Keep on practicing and I know you'll do great! :)
for one, try not sickling. it may be why you started to get tired at the end, and it will really affect your later pointe work. Also, because you're not pushing fully onto your box, which can also have a large negative impact, you're jumping into your echappes, instead of pushing into them. I recommend you keep on strengthening your ankles, as you really need to push onto your box
Try a narrower style with a lower vamp. Also make sure you roll down . And make your second a little bit larger. Also make sure you have a very deep plie that is very important!!!
Oh hun, they're not that bad, trust me, you should see mine! Just make sure you're getting your heels down every time you land, and don't jump onto pointe. Also, try and get up over your box, I noticed you weren't quite making it, particularly when you were doing your echappes to fourth.
I would try a shoe with a lower vamp. Right now you are jumping onto your box without rolling through demi-pointe at all. It's forcing your calves to do all the work. You also need to strengthen the outside of your left ankle, it's sickled. Break out that theraband!
Very good! I have grishkos and a way to improve is when you go to echappe, pointe really hard on one your foot and go on your box, i sorry its hard to explain
These echappes are not that bad. Just try to get over your box more and extend your pointe. You're tending to sickle just a little bit. Other than that, though, you had very nice form!
wow, your feet are gorgeous! Your echappes really are not that bad, just try not to sickle when on pointe and just pointing your feet. As for your echappes, try not to jump onto the box so much and you could make them a little bit wider so they don't sometimes look like releves. Hope this helped! :)
I started pointe a few months ago also. I like your shoes. I think you are doing really well. I had a hard time with the whole jumping onto pointe too. I'll tell you what my teacher told me...make sure your heels land on the floor. I think you're off to a great start! Have fun!
when you started doing "echappes" fast, you weren't actually doing an echappe. you were just releveing and switching feet. you were also "jumping" up to releve. you need to think of pushing through the floor and sliding your feet out more. you need a wider second position, unless it was choreographed to have a small echappe. just remember to keep lifted and use your core (abs). that helps too.
No no no no non! I hope you have gotten a better teacher since you have posted this. Also, your shoes don't look like they fit properly. It could just be the camera or it could just be your feet (no offence meant)

Some day I need to find out what is meant by "sieklling" other than that what caught my attention is how far back the ribbons are attached. This does not look traditional from what I have heard.

the think the echappes look awkward just because you aren't going back completely into fifth and you kind of hop into second instead of pushing your feet through into second. Keep working fellow dancer! :)

whats with the turned-in foot when you lift it up at 0:33-0:40 ?
please fix that by pointe-ing your foot even when the focus isnt on that foot
thanks

Seriously! Your echappes are the LEAST of
Your worries!!!!!!! Talk about sickle city!!! I mean, I'm really trying not to be rude, but I find it hard to believe that your teacher let you en pointe with your sickling. However, you look Like you have wonderful feet. Keep on practicing and I know you'll do great! :)

Try your hardest not to sickle your feet!! It's not very attractive!(:

for one, try not sickling. it may be why you started to get tired at the end, and it will really affect your later pointe work. Also, because you're not pushing fully onto your box, which can also have a large negative impact, you're jumping into your echappes, instead of pushing into them. I recommend you keep on strengthening your ankles, as you really need to push onto your box

ur echappes look better than mine!

Very good but if you push more on the box forward and push more on the heel backward you will get a better point possision :D

Try a narrower style with a lower vamp. Also make sure you roll down . And make your second a little bit larger. Also make sure you have a very deep plie that is very important!!!

Oh hun, they're not that bad, trust me, you should see mine! Just make sure you're getting your heels down every time you land, and don't jump onto pointe. Also, try and get up over your box, I noticed you weren't quite making it, particularly when you were doing your echappes to fourth.

I would try a shoe with a lower vamp. Right now you are jumping onto your box without rolling through demi-pointe at all. It's forcing your calves to do all the work. You also need to strengthen the outside of your left ankle, it's sickled. Break out that theraband!

Very good! I have grishkos and a way to improve is when you go to echappe, pointe really hard on one your foot and go on your box, i sorry its hard to explain

These echappes are not that bad. Just try to get over your box more and extend your pointe. You're tending to sickle just a little bit. Other than that, though, you had very nice form!

somereallycoolname24 2 years ago
wow, your feet are gorgeous! Your echappes really are not that bad, just try not to sickle when on pointe and just pointing your feet. As for your echappes, try not to jump onto the box so much and you could make them a little bit wider so they don't sometimes look like releves. Hope this helped! :)

Did you break them in by hand/other method apart from your feet?
xjaix2kex 2 years ago 4
by hand for the most part
Italianfouette 2 years ago 3
Yeah I could tell, try not to do that though it looks like you've broken the arch in the wrong place. I made the same mistake with my first pair.
xjaix2kex 2 years ago 2
@Italianfouette you really shouldnt do that. that can ruin a pointe shoe...

I started pointe a few months ago also. I like your shoes. I think you are doing really well. I had a hard time with the whole jumping onto pointe too. I'll tell you what my teacher told me...make sure your heels land on the floor. I think you're off to a great start! Have fun!

when you started doing "echappes" fast, you weren't actually doing an echappe. you were just releveing and switching feet. you were also "jumping" up to releve. you need to think of pushing through the floor and sliding your feet out more. you need a wider second position, unless it was choreographed to have a small echappe. just remember to keep lifted and use your core (abs). that helps too.
