My Ballet Pointe #1

[thebuffkins]

tuck in your ribbons and leastics.. but otherwise very VERY food :)



[balletmarionette]

Love new shoes! ;*

[inlovewithballet123]

You did really well! Keep up the good work! :)

[LaurenStar111]

Tuck in your ribbons next time, they look shabby otherwise. but for a beginner, you lookin' good! :D

[TheDancerina]

Wow.. you're gonna hurt yourself.. Just saying..

[Johnjacob654]

You're pretty clever with the way you stand on the back of you're feet.

[vivi12linda41]

olha que ponta linda

[mslovepink24]

0:35 through 0:43 does not look right. your feet are very sickled and you could probably hurt yourself. i know this was a while ago so im sure you have learned now that you shouldnt do things like that.

[tassikenney]

Try not to sickle.

[emidances96]

that is good for a beginner!!!!

[balletyouth]

you need to turn your feet out more but its good :)

[emidances96]

that's pretty good for starting pointe!!!! yea for you!!! fix your ribbons maybe but other than that, i have no criticism!!!

[nastianew1]

good luck)))))))))))))

[KooKiiE74DaNceR]

good for four days! just try not to sickle with your right foot. push over to your big toe.

[xostarsox19]

@hunnybun611 hey shes a beginner ...chill

[dancerers12]

@hunnybun611 a lot of people do that, not just beginners, relax.

[lemon4girl]

@hunnybun611 u were ounce a begginer so i would not say that if i were u

[Cynamon1984]

I have a question. What are the names of those tights you are wearing.? Are they somehow specially called in ballet?

I do not dance, but I really like them.

A fil I liked, though it does not know. Good luck

[greenfroggy09]

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

[coolbeanscde]

Good job. I would watch that u don't turn in when u go up and don't lean towards your baby toes when u go up.

[sweetbl00dvampire]

nice good job on en pointe.. but you still need a little bit more practice.... I love it..

[catiemaystamper]

i am starting ballet in the summer. if i would have stuck with ballet when i was six i would lol prob be in better shape and i would have been on point for a long time yea isnt it like 4-5 years to be on point or can you go straight to point?

[TheFabulousAmanda]

I stopped when I was six and restarted when I was 13 and now I'm 15 and I'm en pointe already.

[missdancintherain9]

@catiemaystamper technically you could go straight to pointe, although it is extremely risky and not at all recommended. You need wayy more time in ballet to strengthen your legs, ankles, and feet before going on pointe.

[XGinny11X]

You got to work on your turn-out, but you are really excellent for four days! Well done :D

[wowthatsailor]

I live in New Jersey, and I want to go on point. I'm 5 foot 7inches. But, i weigh a little more than I should. How much should I weigh to be on point!? Can you give me any advice or tips for loosing weight???

[jtjet9595]

first of all your pointe shoe tying looks unprofessional tuck in your ribbons and elastic and cut the ribbon to wear the end stops in the back of the inside of each foot and then tuck that in i always tie it under where the other ribbons have been tied so i can tuck it up instead of down. it works for me try it are those capezios?

[TheRoamingMilkmen]

Great work for 4 days! Make sure you don't go too far over your box in the echappes. Good work though.

[Princesitalina]

*o*

[lalittleprincessita]

work on turn out and im not sure if i was not really straight knees so work on that lol :]

[Kittybombshell]

Wow you're really good! When did you start ballet?? Just wondering how long it took you to get on pointe cause people keep telling me I'm to old.

[Spiorad]

You are never to old if you are willing to work hard and put in the time and dedication it takes to do pointe work.

[pollypopox]

you are reaaally good for four days your balance is awesome!

[balletbeautyheart114]

u need to work on ur turnout and make sure not to sickle your feet en pointe. you can really hurt your legs that way.

[xoxosalina7]

break them in a door

[lovecampeltesoro]

wow your very good for 4 days

[wexarexthexbroken]

That looks really good for only having done pointe for 4 days! I would suggest that you practice putting more weight on your big toe, because you are sickling, try really lenghing your big toe in the shoe!

[Amy92x]

I'm doing pointe for about 5 years now and I know it's hard at the beginning (and not only at the beginning^^) you should work on your turn out & make sure you're standing on your big toes, too. otherwise you could hurt yourself. your first position is not perfect & you should look after your 5th position which is actually a 3rd :D and FLUTTER! (1:22 it's too slow & a little bit klutzy) it has to look easy! strangesugarfairy was right: YOUR RIBBONS.....but all in all. That was good. 4 days. wow.

[oknajsasuke]

you need to work on your tourn out......and...be sure to go on your big toe,i know it is hard,but if you want to be a ballerina its very important!!! Find some good ballerina to watch,and learn....you cant learn ballet just on your classes.....best wishes!!!!!!!!

[BaLleTLoOveEr]

what?! only 4 days?! you have beautifull arches! im jealous haha keep pointing!

[atticusfreakinfinch]

It's not perfect but for a beginner thats really good! I hope I can be that good when I start pointe in two months!

I m sooooo xcited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[oknajsasuke]

you should try to stand on your big finger(i am from serbia,i dont now how to say that)because you are standing on your little finger and it is really really bad :-)

[greengummybears1]

in your achappes make sure you land in 5th position instead of 3rd

[strangesugarfairy]

please tie your ribbons correctly!

[Romi0493]

nice work for a beginner.!!!!

[Kentislandgirl]

dont step up.

[dancingprincess253]

your good how old are you? by the way nice choice of music

[abercrombiejackie]

i can see you have yourself some talent.

but since this vid is two years old, you've more than likely refined your technique.

like someone said before me, point your toe more during a rond de jambe, but I'm sure you already knew that =)

[SURFUR]

by Dane Youssef

To break your shoes in, try soaking them in water. Some try hitting them against the floor or with hammers. Or even burning them. This is overkill. Just soak them.

Expect some bleeding and some things like Athlete's foot, hangnails, aches, soreness, bunions, blisters, warts and whathave you. Embrace these. They mean you are becoming a professional ballerina. Sacrifice can be a beautiful thing.

These marks are a sign of honor, will and strength.

by Dane Youssef

[turningpointe22]

erm... but soaking them in water can ruin the paste and such that makes up the hard structure in shoes, that allow you to stay en pointe. soaking them can also discolor the satin, plus, it's unsafe to test it out after you've saoked them. breaking them in by slamming them around is overkill, yes, but gently manipulating the satin and shanks will work just as good, if not better.

thanks. :)

[JustDance821]

make sure your feet come back into fifth for your echappes. and make sure you don't roll out.

[edwardlovers13]

hey im watching and your turn out is amazing. really watch and stay on your box. also really point!!!! but you're really good.

[missunderstood223]

yea just about what everyone else said, watch your turn out and stay on the pig tow.... try not to roll back onto the pinky toe

[Kaleidoscopic101]

i think thats really good for only 4 days en pointe gurl!!! remember 2 watch the turn out ;)

[buggycutie]

in Rambe de Jambe you have to pointe and furn out your feet and in boray your knees are staright and when you jump from fith to ashapay dont turn in your feet. Good for only 4 days

[yeoldeballerina]

Rond de jambe. Bourrée. Echappé.

[rach0071]

she ties her pointe shoes how i did when i was first on them hehe good for being a first

[ashleigh4you]

really really really watch your turn out. otherwise, good

[mindfreakrox100]

What size r ur pointe shoes? (whats ur street size)?

[superdupertoaster]

You r really good for just doing it for 4 days!

[balletgirl717]

What shoes are those? They look beautiful on your feet. whoever fitted them must have been reall good

[vampires910]

People who leave mean comments are just jealous. Verrryy good. Just make sure to try to stay over ur big toe. But very niceee! :)

[woaheyitshil]

you just need to work on ur turnout but other than that you are absolutely amazing!

[Thenewballerina]

I think your great! dont listen to the mean comments!

[justdancer871]

your going to break your foot, ur ribbons arent sewn very well, and your working your feet far too hard for a beginner.

[srosie10]

you have to tuck in your elastics and your back foot can't drag when you do your bore

[mistressxvalkyrie]

Yeah, don't sickle.

Out of curiosity, what kind of shoes are those? I dance in Bloch Sonatas, they look pretty close.

[BillyElliotLover96]

your ribbons look a bit loose, you also need to tuck them in :D

your shoes are very well broken in!

try not to sickle :D

x

[dancyprancy12]

omg my teacher says that she always says not to sickle haha thats real funny! where do you dance???

[BillyElliotLover96]

the diana vere ballet school in london

x

[RupertGrintLover17]

i hated using points for the firs time, it killed, but now i'm used to it

[ABSOLUTADDICTIONN]

push your toes over the shoes. really go over the box, dont just rest on the top

:]

[xTheMultiTalented1x]

1073kat - that was a little harsh!!!!  dont listen to her you reli good concidering 4 days x

[JudeHarrison0289]

how old r u

[1073kat]

pretty good! what would make it a bit better is if you took off the shoes and didnt ever do this again

[headed4thebottom]

That is unbelieveably rude.

[dirtydancer10]

ur a cruel heartless bitch that deserves to be shot ur obv just really jelous

[punkrawklove66]

some people just arent that good

it seems she has never taken a class

NO turn out whatsoever

[jasmine9408]

maybe she just got en pointe

[str3ntgh0wns]

whats this song called

[avatar098]

California - Red Hot Chili Peppers

i think..

[ivayyyy]

make sure you stretch before going on pointe, and i also get bad bruises under my big toes, so get some gell to put on them.

and also tape your ribbons and tuck in your strings ;)

[TinkaBellOx]

For 4 days your pointe shoes are really broken in.

tuck your ribbons in Lmao.

are you holding onto the side or somthing because no teacher would let you do that after 4 days :L

[bugaboo965]

Try not to sickle your feet

[purple129034785]

good song chocice and great for only 4 days

[Gaspingforair]

There would be no way you can off bar in only 4 days.

[killerjames123]

kewl. i do pointe and this is my second year and i have a solo! on pointe! its hrad but i can do it! good job and keep working hard!

[AAAbaby2594]

Woah! You shouldn't dance on tile, A girl who goes to my dance school did and she did a demi pointe and slipped and broke her foot =O

I suggest just doing at your dance school where you have floor ment for dancing

[miricalestar]

It's not really good for you to do pointe at home - it's better to do in the presence of a experienced teacher who knows pointe better than a student. But just to give you some advice - it is NOT a good idea to break in your pointe shoes very fast, because if you do it wrong, you can injure yourself, and it won't build any strength in your ankle.

[PraiseDancer29]

You sickled a little in the stretch, and you need to turn out a bit better. :)

[hieveryone6687]

your pointe shoes look VERY broken in for only 4 days! I have had mine for 3 and they do NOT look like that!! Tell me your secret!!

[attackthebonbons]

She's lying, no good teacher lets their student do anything after 4 days with no arms on. I've had my pointe shoes for a month and they have just started being dead.

[baybeedoll104]

2 days ago my ballet instructor said i could take pointe!

[ballerina1463]

to xilovelucyx

yes it is ok, i have a a size 9 foot, and my pointe shoes actually make my feet look smaller!! so of course it is ok,

and this is a great video!!

[IxLOVExLUCYx]

i have a ? is it ok to have big feet with ballet cuz im a size 8.5

[ItsJoyceOfCourse]

yepp!!

my friend is on pointe and has size 10 - 11 size feet

i bet your good cause im going onto pointe in a few months and i have a size 8 feet

[oOhighmaintenanceOo]

i agree with majestic toaster on the ':35' thing. if u want 2 stretch like that, cross ur left foot over ur right so ur thighs r crossing and just plie your right leg. then other side. but bloch's are actually better for beginners to pointe! I still use bloch (well actually they're CUSTOM made blochs...but w/e)

[Dutchess222]

hahaa great tying job

[rubes9294]

work on making your fifth position cleaner, try to roll through your shoe more especially when youre coming down, and don't sickle.

other than that, good start!

[GirlyrainZubZero]

i hope i can be that good

[Studios11]

Great job! Wayy better than me.

I'm still breaking mine in.

[SUMMI16]

work on ur turn out and yur 5th position needs to be more straight

good job tho

[MajesticTOASTER]

A few tips:

-DON'T WEAR BLOCH'S! They're not made well! (I'm assuming that you're wearing bloch's? They look like bloch's to me..)

-Tie the ribbons further down..by your ankle and tuck the ends in.

-You should NEVER EVER DO WHAT YOU DID AT 00:35 EVER AGAIN!

If you need to break your shoes in, bend them around the barre..or bend them in a door.

But for 4 days, that was good.

[sugamara2004]

LMAO!!

[Dancintrumpet21]

pointe-ers

1. Tie your ribbons on the inside of the ankle.

2. Tuck the ribbons in.

3. Tuck the elastic strings in.

[JhumTube]

princesssarahjj she wasn't doing fifth position she was doing third position.

[princesssarahjj]

when you switch ur feet you need to go whole fith position ur not covering ur back toe with ur front foot!

[allxbrunette]

this hurt my eyes to watch.....but you will get better in time

[anorexicpenguinfly]

well, first of all, tie your shoes in the right place, and when you stretch like that at around 00:37.. you're going to have serious ankle problems if you continue like that. you're sickling and you can get tendonitis and tear something.

[BillyElliotLover96]

wat brand are they?

xxx

[caylorbaylor]

oh my lord! you're scaring me there at 00:25. you'll break your ankle! and when you tie your point shoes, make sure they're tied tightly in the right spot on your ankle. if they're tied wrong you could get tendonidis and if they come untied, well, you can guess what would happen ;)

[x3gubgub222]

a little sickly at some pointe and u need to turn out at some points but other then that great!:)

[myfairytale1196]

is there really wood in the pointe shoes or do they put jell

[BalletNinja6]

the wood part is in the shank

[myfairytale1196]

um one more question.....whats a shank

[BalletNinja6]

lol. its the hard part on the bottom of the pointe shoe. like where the sole would b on ur shoe.

[glenoakgal24]

there is wood in the point of the shoe but u wear toe pads which can be gel.

[MDTballet]

Our director(Gloria Govrin) dosen't let us wear any toe pads

[cinnamoncrumble]

when u go up at 2:00, try to turn out more. otherwise, nice:)

[copelia92]

you're so god, for only being in pointe for four days.

[1sunnyday2]

At :35 your going to break your ankle, don't do that!, At about 1:10 get your feet in fifth. Ribbons in and point your feet. It was ok for only being on for 4 days. I've been on pointe for 5 years, so i know what im talking about.

[xdancergrl95x]

make sure u stand on the big toe and not rolling on ur pinky u could seriosly hurt ur self

[mariababbii]

your abrill dancer but you have to keep your fetts realy strong i have been doing ballet for 7 years now and im not even that good but keep your feet strong

[Ballerina282]

At my ballet school, you should tuck your ribbons in at the BACK of your ankle so when you turn your feet out you can't see the bump from the tucked-in ribbon. Also, remember to stand on your big toe and not the back of the shoe. Rosin helps if you slip!tuck your ribbons in and your drawstrings please! they are buggin me! Otherwise, you look great for four days!

[Snarkymom]

Ribbons should be tied and tucked in at your inner ankle. When I was with the Louisville Ballet we would be fined (real money) if our ribbons came untucked during a performance. We actually sewed them in place before the performances. If you want to look professional, tuck all that stuff in.

[einsteingirl115]

u really need to tuck in your ribbons and strings but other than that....pretty good...just keep working at it and dont give up!!

[jbeauty962]

you are way better than I was when I first started just make sure to not sickle your feet and tuck in your drawstrings and ribbons, its driving me crazy!

[89airforcebrat08]

For only being en pointe for a few days, you're doing very well. Just remember not to jump onto your toes and point through your tendus and ran de jambe. It will get easier as your shoes start breaking in. And don't forget your turn out. Everything you've learned so far still applies... it just gets harder to manage when you're balancing on your toes. :)

[dancingfeet6]

are those capezio glisse's?? they look like them. good job :] but be careful not to sickle.

[dance4change918]

tuck in ur ribbons there driving me crazy and 4 4 days on pointe ur really good and dont brreak in the shoes any more there fine right now!!

[KristatheBallerina]

pointe your ankles not just your feet

especially when you ran de jambe

also keep your ankles strong

and make sure you straighten, but not lock your knees =]

[balletd123]

u didnt put ur feet in a good fifth position but u did good

[tiggytoby]

ok put your feet in second do a demi plie and then stay down with bent knees and flip over onto ur points keeping ur ankles really strong and ur back straight also try putting your feet straight and just doing rises going through demi pointe and using ur feet as much as u can DONT do the thing where u stand on the inseide of ur foot my friend damaged her ankle doing that!!

[pinkandpurple03]

dont sickle and tuck ur ribbions in

[coolblackwitch123]

luv the music! You were better than i was when i first wore pointe shoes.Keep up the good work!

[iluvdance23]

ill be on pointe in 2 years

[yogurtland123]

Put more weight on your big toes, not your pinky's. It's important to know that standing on your foot and artificially breaking in your shoes is not healthy or a way to strengthen your feet

[WoWzaBallet14]

NO SICKLING GIRLIE:)

[balletcats]

nice vid! luv the music!

[gloomygirl99]

u must be a beginner, bc ur not tht great. when u go on releva

be conssittant... bc ur good, but u can bee wayy better. BALLET CHICAGO ROCKS!

(im in ballet 4 there..and going to be in ballet 5 (pro trainin) in 8 months!!!!!!!

[BARBIEDANCER1323]

I love the way she does her pointe work. I can't wait to put my pointe work on Youtube.

[maguireandnina]

DEFINITELY stop doing pointe on tile floors! i got achilles tendonitis from doing that. and let me tell you, that sucks.

[Rainmakerlola]

how, how old are you .? my goodness in your other videos you look 40.

[primeauxox]

your other vids.. i cant believe its you! your legs have really trimmed down and gotten more defined

kudoss

[enphadell]

shes holding on to an overhead bar...man, you guys we're FOOLED!!

[hotness3000]

good job pull up more, ribbons in, and dont hop or bounce onto ur shoes. Over all i really liked it.

[RoBeRtAandMeL]

yeah..

also try not to jump onto your toes, make it a nice smooth movement

[fanamici07]

CONSIGLI!!!:

stendi le gambe, tira le punte e stai attenta quando fai i relevé ke metti male i mignoli e rischi ke ti si storge il piede!!! .. qst sn solo consigli per migliorarti!!!  bAcIoNiSsIMI aNbEtA!!

[pubpubdubdub]

wow good job for being on it for four days!!! wow!!! im not on ponite yet! but i have a question ive always wonderd. does pointe feel like your on your toes, or is it like more comferatable?

[dancindiva264]

tuck in your ribbons!

[techdeck2000]

nice arches

[MythicalMermaid246]

thats not bad for 4 days but if i were u i wouldn't do pointe at home at your level of experience. ur probably better so keep up the pointe work!!!!

[pointeshoesandballet]

tuck in your ribbons and elastics,close ur fifth all the way, and ur sickiling just a little bit but awesome job for 4 days

[xballetloverx]

good for only 4 days but u need to tuck ur ribbons on the inside, tuck in ur drawstring so u dont trip and get turnout and some good fifth position. dont sickle! :]

[julesdancer23]

Don't sickle your feet on pointe or on flat! You are pushing over wayy too much and you'll hurt yourself if you're not careful. Also, turn your feet out. They look terrible the way they are. Turn your feet out on pointe and don't sickle! You can hurt your feet since your new at pointe! NEVER sickle your feet and ALWAYS turn them out!

[abss14]

pretty good for 4 days. [:

but like everyone is saying,

make sure you tuck in those strings

or cut them off.

[sarahb404]

I started when i was 12, it takes year to be pro i am in grade 5 ISTD now so yeh it never to laste to be on pointe

[1ammenoswad]

NINE? oh my god i have never known of anyone start that young on pointe. you must have been fantastic. do you still dance?

[rebeccajake]

your suppose to do turn out

[kasiatallent]

turn out!!!

[BillyElliotLover96]

u r really good, but ur ribbons are too long and wen u do ur echappes, i think you can use ur turnout more!!!!!!!! well done tho, considering this was only after 4 days!!!!!! :)

[sheldon1029]

be careful not to sickle you could hurt yourself

but otherwise really good! :)

[mychemroxmasox]

hey

what kind of shoes are they cause i like them and am goin on en pointe after summer

btw your really good

[idancemyheartout]

ur sickling too much and u need to cut ur ribbons shorter and get either harder shanks or stay away from this brand

[ballethunii]

your shoes seem really soft.

you sickle your foot abit, and try to bend your knees when you come off pointe.

but well done thou! ♥

[minkadapink]

um i dont think ballet dancers dance to this music.....?

[cristyna3]

ur sickling ur feet a lot and u should try just to shoot straight up to relivei like su-su. (sp?)

but other than that, ur pretty good for only been doing it for 4 dayss!! keep it up!!

[sassysyd64]

You have amazing feet! But your sickling A LOT!!! Try to fix thet, you dont want to make it a habit! Good luck:-)

[crazyspaz247]

um i think you should tuck your laces in a little

[Keydogirl87]

Goood song. :-)

[fiorebeautiful]
