Beginner- Simple Excersizes en Pointe

[LindseyDances4God]

You're doing real good just remember to hold turnout once coming down from sur le pointe.

[pinkdancer0708]

@LindseyDances4God thanks for the criticism. I will make sure to watch for that :D

[ThePippypal14]

Your A beautiful dancer and don't worry if you can't roll over on your box it took me a while too!!

[pinkdancer0708]

Thank you :D I appriceiate it.

[jezebelmisunderstood]

Flobots. :)

[pinkdancer0708]

oh ya :P

[cottonberryluver]

youur shoees seem realllu hardd . Do youu likee those shoees ?. And youure doingg very goood:]

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanks so much :D This is an older video and hopefully I will put a new one up this summer. Actually my shoes are quite soft. I believe they are a soft or medium 3/4 shank. I did not like these shoes but they were quite good for beginner shoes. I now have Bloch Balance Europeans which I LOVE.

[cottonberryluver]

anytimee:] andd okaay , just wonderingg:P ahaaa:DD thaaanks !.

[missayla3]

You need to make sure youre all the way on top of the box. Youre not quite there. Also be sure to roll down THROUGH demi pointe. Sometimes you just plopped down hahaha your shoes look lovely btw!

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanks a lot for the tips!! This is an older video and I have improved by then. Hopefully next time I puit a video up, I will be over my box :D

[who8mychocopie]

ur doing rly good(: butt u need to get on ur block more cause wen u relava ur not on ur block all the way

[pinkdancer0708]

thanks balletenpointe1. I am not sure wat she means but what you said could be right.

[TheSecretSinger100]

looking good! I love your shoes and you look SO strong! :)

[pinkdancer0708]

TheSecretSinger100 Thank you!!! I am been training my hardest. These are my old pointe shoes and now have a new style. Bloch Balance Europeans, I like them better. They shape to my feet better.

[TheSecretSinger100]

Cool! You should post a vid! :)

[fabchik123]

what type of padding are you using?

[pinkdancer0708]

I use "Ouch Puches". They are cotton and they cover up half your feet. They have a thin layer of gel at the toe, but your are still able to feel the floor.

[Cocomushed]

Wow, nice in my dance skl we have to sew on a thing to stop us slipping

[pinkdancer0708]

what do you mean by "thing"?

[balletgirl806]

Very nice pointework!

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanx :D

[pinkdancer0708]

Sorry... you could of said that to start off with!! I thought you meant it in a negative way because you only said" how old are you?" I am 14 :)

[lisanguyen12]

I saw your Lyrical dance solo and it was awesome - how do you know when you're ready for pointe? With one hour of beginner ballet a week, how long will it be before someone can do pointe? Thanks for answering and keep dancing!!! XD

[pinkdancer0708]

Check your message... it didnt fit onto this box :)

[lisanguyen12]

Lmao! I did, and thanks so much (you don't need to reply to this reply)!

[kristaaxoxwtp]

Is that your toes cracking or just the box on the floor? Just wondering, It looks like you are doing pretty well. I am just going to begin pointe this year so I don't really know what I'm talking about yet. lol!

[pinkdancer0708]

No that is not my toes cracking lol. Its my shoes on the floor. My shoe makes weird noises. Haha

[kristaaxoxwtp]

haha, I can't wait to go en pointe! my mom hates when I crack my knuckles or my toes, so I hope that doesn't happen to me, my friend got pinky arthritis from cracking her pinky too much! So now I'm scared out of it lol, well sometimes I do it when my finger feels wierd though. lol! Bad habits!

[pinkdancer0708]

Haha, I don't think it will happen!!! Good luck en pointe :P

[ellie5ballerina4ever]

good , but like everyone said you just need to get on your boxes more . You have nice arches and I can tell you can get over your boxes if you really concentrate on it (: haha whats with the music ? :P

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanx for the advice. I am a beginner and my arches are actually not very good. My feet are so flat !!!!! It is called Handlebars- Flobots :P

[icelynn14]

omg wow...ur legs r so strong !!! it makes them look rlly pretty. unlike mine, lol i have chicken legs :S i wish i could dance like that...its beautiful !!!

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanx... it takes a lot of hard work. :) Your legs aren't chicken legs :P They are nice too. Thanx again :)

[MirshaOG24]

Have you ever taken dance classes before??? 0.o

Just curious...

[pinkdancer0708]

ya... I have been doing ballet for 6 years. I don't know if you read the info on the side!!!!!

[MagicalMagdalene]

I have the feeling that was a negative comment.

If so, I suppose you didn't realize that it says "beginner" in the title of this video.

Therefore, she isn't expected to be amazing at pointe.

No one starts out great.

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanx Magical, I appreciate that. Ya I am a beginner. I am not expected to be great!!!

[koalachristine]

Practice makes perfect! I would suggest that when your shoes are off, to bend them a little at the 3/4th part of the shank. That should help you "get over" your box a little bit more to improve you arch and balance :)

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanx for the tips. I will definetly do that!!

[xBalletDancer]

you're doing really well for the time span you've had. I have 30 minutes of pointe of a week too, but I have been doing it for 5 months. I notice that at certain times (especially 2:15) that your weight is all on your little toes, when your weight should be on your big toe. This means your sickling, so a few simple ankle strengthening excersizes should help. Also, try to tighten your drawstring on your shoes, as when you releve your shoes are gaping (2:45) but well done :) you're doing well.

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanx.... good luck too you. Thanx for the tips, I can't tighten my drawstrings anymore!! They aren't made of elastic they are made of string. thanx

[marcookie92]

for your time period that you had that is good. and your arches look good. mostly you need to work on getting on your box but i think you've done good!!

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanx very much. Also, thanx for the tips and I will try my best. Thanx!!!

[tdsmeg4]

you should work a hour on pointe and your shoes look broken in usually bloch takes forever to break in is what someone told me in ballet class

[pinkdancer0708]

thanx, but I am a beginner and only go for about 25 minutes a week.

[balletdancer923]

Good job! You need to work on rolling through the demi-pointe, and getting over on your box, but it is otherwise great! =)

[pinkdancer0708]

Thanx for the tips. I will do that. Thanx :)

[sk8rchik98]

Just try to get onto your box more. It looked like you were sickling a little bit, but I think that it's just the shot. Well other then that you're great! You have beautiful feet and great arches! Great Dancing!

[pinkdancer0708]

Thank-you very much. Yes I will try to get over my box, yes I will try my best. Thanx, it was hard work to get these feet, because I have VERy flat feet. Yes I think it was a weird shot... Thanks again

[BroadwayAriel]

you look really good! just keep up with it!! and you will do great =)

[pinkdancer0708]

aww thanx so much. I really appreciate your message, I have been ttrying really hard to have feet like this because my feet are COMPLETELY FLAT!!

[ipopballoons]

Well done :)

I just have one question: Are you doing this with a barre or are you supporting yourself?

[pinkdancer0708]

Well most of it is me supporting myself, but I hasve a chair to hold onto beside me( the brown chair). I haven't really had any classed without a barre... so ya!!! Thanx a lot!!!

[LyricalPointeJazzTap]

have you ever tried a lower vamp? I think that would look good on you an support you nicely

[pinkdancer0708]

No, these are my first pointe shoes. I really enjoy them because me feet are flat, and have a 3/4 shank, which I also like. Well thanx anyways lol

[metaliccoin123]

*carefull diet

i made a mistake on my other comment

[metaliccoin123]

well done! how do stay so thin? i am on a care, other wise i put on weight so easy!

[pinkdancer0708]

I am just thin. I always eat junkfood, but i don't get fat.... I now eat less sugar, but I am not on a diet. THanx soo much!!!!

[murfy98]

well done!

[pinkdancer0708]

Really? Thanx very much.... I am a beginner and am trying to get over my box.
