The shoes might be too large and perhaps too "dead," but you sure have lovely arches and good technique. I agree that you need to be better fit, but meanwhile, keep up the great work!
Chain mail crap have the best day of ur life tomoz if u send to ten pages if u don't then u will see a little dead girl in ur room tonight but no pass backs
It's okay, love. : ) Just buy new pointe shoes that are more snug and go to a different fitter. Since you're new to pointe, you're doing great! With newer, better pointe shoes you'll be on your way again! Good luck, love! Dancers Unite <3
@Princesspointeballet why would you say that? dead pointe shoes are really bendable yes, but they are too soft and broken down to dance in anymore. you can seriously hurt your feet or ankles from dancing in them
No offense but those shoes look horrible on you :s, its like you have at the top a super pretty fit, and then HOLY BEGISUS YOUR FOOTS SWOLLEN! haha no offence though, hope youve got better shoes now (:
hahah, i thought i was the only one who worked my feet way to hard on the right, but you do to! It makes wearing point shoes really annoying cuz the right shoe always feels way to soft.
In my experience, don't trust the fitter all the time. Trust an experienced dance teacher and yourself because you need to make sure your feet are as comfortable as can be! Otherwise it feels like hell...:P
your feet are really awesome but you need a smaller box and shoe size over all if you wear your shoes out quickly you might want to get a tougher shank
Hey to all the people saying how they look ugly and how she is not good just keep your opinions to yourself!! Wheres your videos?? I bet you aint even half as good!!!
@MessyLauz well if you look at the description box she says she is new to pointe. No one should dance in dead shoes, even in fun, even if you're a professional it doesn't matter. You risk the well being and the muscle strength in your ankles whenever you go up on dead shoes......but hey it's her personal choice not mine.
hey guys, do any of you have any tips on extending the life of your pointe shoes? ive only had my bloch supriams for 2 months and i think they are dying, check out my videos to see if they are and if they are could you please tell me! thanks
Hey everyone! I am new to pointe and i have posted a few videos on my channel that I would love for you to check out and comment on! Any advice, tips is welcome. Just let me know what I do well and what i need to work on and I'll return the favors if you'd like!
ahhhhh!!!!!! are you trying to ruin your feet??? lol get new shoes hun...unless your feet are strong enough to support you in a dead shoe, dont dance in dead pointe shoes!
I'm starting Ballet for the first time once I get my shoes...they're Scarlet Red sanshas they're beautiful and I can not wait till I try them on. I think Ballet Shoes are better because I know how to go on my toes in my Hiphop shoes and its not painful...But now going in pointe and doing that over..and over...and over I'm going to get 'Bloody mary' Blisters...:'O
i need to start ballet! seriously!! lol. since i was 6 years old ive longed to be en pointe, but i quit after 1 1/2 years training. and now i would love to begin again. but im having an awfull lot of trouble convincing my parents that ballet is not a total waste of time, and that you CAN do it as a hobbie and not go pro if you want to. i think after 6-7 years of dancing in my room, and dreaming of become a ballerina, its about time i got to do what ive always wanted to do. (tear in my eye) x x
if u really like it you should do it. i secretly loved ballet since i was a kid but only had money to take classes when i was 16. i have to work twice as hard as the other girls in my class that are way younger than me (i'm 20 now)but i'm happier than ever!
im srry ut those make ur feet look relaly ugly. you broke them in really low. try lifting out of your shoes and breaking them in more near the heel for support
xoangie03 does absolutely nothing but bitch about other people's dancing. And I mean, since she's uber ossum dancr supastar, she'd know it's 'en pointe' and not 'on pointe'
Ladies...really! I'm sure you are both awesome dancers with great dedication to the art. Always remember that there will always be someone worse than you as well as better.
i currently take 11 ballet classes a week. roughly two a day. and i do pointe for 7 of them. and thats just ballet. i also take modern 5 classes a week and jazz once a week.
why?
because thats what it takes to have a chance in the dance world.
i do take 11 ballet classes a week, and more than half of those on pointe, 5 modern classes and 1 jazz class a week. and 7 rehersals a week for various concerts. i don't go to public school. i HOME SCHOOL and go to a private dance academy called the Dancing Arts Academy. Look it up. what's sad is people thinking they are good when they take 1-4 classes a week. and your sad for assuming i am a liar. obviously you have no expirence with professional dancing. but thats not my problem, it's yours.
WOW!!! THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!! ALL THOSE CLASSES!! i am 11, and I take two classes a week! two hours on tuesday whitch is hip hop (Christian dance) and modern and tap (Christian) and thursday ballet for an hour. (Christian) all at the same studio. our recital is tomorrow. i am nervous. but the day after we are dancing at wachovia and then going ice skating and then to a Christmas party!
i feel sorry for you and people like you, but again, I'm just happy I found an execellent dance school with professional teachers and professional expectations. I WILL have the chance to be professional myself, unlike all of those american wannabee dancers who don't know a thing about artistry and technique.
i wouldnt really know how good you are. i dont know what school you go to and ive never met you. i was just assuming because you didn't believe me before, but i'm sure now you do. unless your still in denial. but really, my school has a website and everything so if you don't believe me...
and your point about the touring company....? three isn't a lot at all.
uhm im srry but thats a really mean comment. there are many amazing ballet compaies in america ABT, NYCB, San Fran, Boston. Many small studios also are very good. thats great that you found a great place in the dance world but not all of us are as fortunate as you ya know.
i KNOW there are good dance companies in america. i NEVER said there weren't.
schools on the other hand are not.
a LOT of schools in america dont teach any kind of technique, have studenets who take one class a week, and preform some recital in a high school once a year. that is NOT what the dance world is like, and students who go there dont know anything.
and yes, i know people arent as fourtunate as me but i WORK for everything i have. i work for technique, artistry, and tuition money.
hey when your are getting fitted make sure you have asked your teacher before hand what she recommends that way when you get fitted the personnel wil have a better perspective of what to get you. don't tell the fitter a specific brand because there's only one shoe that's good for your foot also give them feed back while in your pointe shoes your toes shouldn't have room but they should not scrunch up either good luck!!!!!
Nah don't worry i thought it would take me ages too but as long as you keep working hard out of the studio as well as in, then you'll get there quicker than you think :D xx
I have been doing ballet since I was three, I am 13 now, and I dance 7 days a week. ;)Actually, 4 out of 7 days I am dancing multiple times in the same day (as in the morning, afternoon and evening).
ye, too be honest, secretly i love ballet. now days, in my school its considered weird to like 'that' kind of stuff. i did it when i was 5-7 years old. im now 13 too... and have always admired the dance styles of classical ballet. its way too late to start again... i had to quit due to me getting ill with ear infections when i was younger couldn't go back after a year of them on and off! (being ill)... have regreted it ever since!!! wish i could go back. x chloe x :(
You really should go back to ballet classes it's never to late to take it up and get really good! I started Ballet when I was 14 and I've taken my Intermediate foundation ballet exam no problem and now I'm dancing en pointe, it took me a while to catch up but I managed it! It's never too late.
ok who ever said good job you guys must not be real dancers because this was definatly not good, dacning in dead pointe sheos is bad and the foot was like going out of the box like siciling! I think if you tried a new shoe like freed or something it would fit better and make the pointe look much cleaner
A good way to tell if shoes are too big is to put a foot en pointe and then pinch the satin at the back of the heel. If you get a huge amount, the shoes are too big. If you get a little squeaky amount, they are too small. Neither is good, but too small is better because the shoes will stretch SLIGHTLY...
Experiment! I cannot count how mnay pairs of pointe shoes I have had that didn't work before I found ones that did.
my pointe shoes died this week, and i have to get new ones, my current (and dead) ones are grishko's 2007's. does anyone have a favorite brand i should try?
you're really amazing! just next time you get fitted, don't be afraid to tell them the truth!!! ur better safe than sorry! i've been on pointe for 4 yrs. and trust me, i've learned the hard way!
your feet bend at your toe joints, and to make them bend more around the instep area or improve your instep..try getting a higher vamp and a low cut heel that way it pushes over on your instep instead of your toe joints..hope that helps
pull out of your shoes itl make you feet look and feel a lot better!your also pushing into the vamp of your shoes to much i used to do this and i found myself not being able to walk properly.
People who wear out their pointe shoes quickly have strong feet and arches. That's why they become so mailable. One of my dance teachers always said pull out of your feet. Make it feel like your feet are straight don't let them sink into the ground. She said she uses dead shoes for weeks.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
pull out of ur shoes, dont put all ur weight on ur pinky toe! u scare me, every second it looks like u are gonna fall! be carefull! get smaller shoes. nice arches tho...
The shoes might be too large and perhaps too "dead," but you sure have lovely arches and good technique. I agree that you need to be better fit, but meanwhile, keep up the great work!

To the beautiful girl who's forever en pointe--
I notice there's no music, no sound at all. Yes, it's best to let your dance speak for itself.
You're certainly progressing. Take heart, you will be good enough to dance with the Gods soon enough.
Ballerinas dream of the day they get to don toe shoes. It's a right of passage.
You're doing full grown ballet now. In full-blown Pointe.
You are a true ballerina now...

i wouldnt really know how good you are. i dont know what school you go to and ive never met you. i was just assuming because you didn't believe me before, but i'm sure now you do. unless your still in denial. but really, my school has a website and everything so if you don't believe me...
and your point about the touring company....? three isn't a lot at all.

uhm im srry but thats a really mean comment. there are many amazing ballet compaies in america ABT, NYCB, San Fran, Boston. Many small studios also are very good. thats great that you found a great place in the dance world but not all of us are as fortunate as you ya know.

i KNOW there are good dance companies in america. i NEVER said there weren't.
schools on the other hand are not.
a LOT of schools in america dont teach any kind of technique, have studenets who take one class a week, and preform some recital in a high school once a year. that is NOT what the dance world is like, and students who go there dont know anything.
and yes, i know people arent as fourtunate as me but i WORK for everything i have. i work for technique, artistry, and tuition money.

hey when your are getting fitted make sure you have asked your teacher before hand what she recommends that way when you get fitted the personnel wil have a better perspective of what to get you. don't tell the fitter a specific brand because there's only one shoe that's good for your foot also give them feed back while in your pointe shoes your toes shouldn't have room but they should not scrunch up either good luck!!!!!

Nah don't worry i thought it would take me ages too but as long as you keep working hard out of the studio as well as in, then you'll get there quicker than you think :D xx

Hi! =] I take 4 days a week of ballet and 3 days of pointe; usually 30 min-1 hour of pointe.
I am currently 12, I have been dancing for 9 years. I started pointe a month before I turned 10.

I have been doing ballet since I was three, I am 13 now, and I dance 7 days a week. ;)Actually, 4 out of 7 days I am dancing multiple times in the same day (as in the morning, afternoon and evening).

ye, too be honest, secretly i love ballet. now days, in my school its considered weird to like 'that' kind of stuff. i did it when i was 5-7 years old. im now 13 too... and have always admired the dance styles of classical ballet. its way too late to start again... i had to quit due to me getting ill with ear infections when i was younger couldn't go back after a year of them on and off! (being ill)... have regreted it ever since!!! wish i could go back. x chloe x :(
iloveh2o13 3 years ago
You really should go back to ballet classes it's never to late to take it up and get really good! I started Ballet when I was 14 and I've taken my Intermediate foundation ballet exam no problem and now I'm dancing en pointe, it took me a while to catch up but I managed it! It's never too late.

feeltheromance44mcr 3 years ago
ok who ever said good job you guys must not be real dancers because this was definatly not good, dacning in dead pointe sheos is bad and the foot was like going out of the box like siciling! I think if you tried a new shoe like freed or something it would fit better and make the pointe look much cleaner
dancingdoll593 3 years ago
good job, especially for dead shoes! My griskos look like that! So I guess they are dead. I'm going to get new ones tomorrow! Ciao!
sugarnspiceisapony 3 years ago
A good way to tell if shoes are too big is to put a foot en pointe and then pinch the satin at the back of the heel. If you get a huge amount, the shoes are too big. If you get a little squeaky amount, they are too small. Neither is good, but too small is better because the shoes will stretch SLIGHTLY...
Experiment! I cannot count how mnay pairs of pointe shoes I have had that didn't work before I found ones that did.
Those are Chacotts, right?

your feet bend at your toe joints, and to make them bend more around the instep area or improve your instep..try getting a higher vamp and a low cut heel that way it pushes over on your instep instead of your toe joints..hope that helps
nessballerina 3 years ago
pull out of your shoes itl make you feet look and feel a lot better!your also pushing into the vamp of your shoes to much i used to do this and i found myself not being able to walk properly.
your good tho!

People who wear out their pointe shoes quickly have strong feet and arches. That's why they become so mailable. One of my dance teachers always said pull out of your feet. Make it feel like your feet are straight don't let them sink into the ground. She said she uses dead shoes for weeks.

A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
