[happinessforever1504]

Do you actually do ballet???? Cause it looks like you don't!!!!! And its even worse your advising people to do pointe without a tachers permission. are you retarded??? you will end up being responsible when all thses girls break their ankles!!

[suganeenee]

Thanks for this!! !xxx

[angelapereira98]

look you´re not ready for points yet. mybe you´re ready but don´t do it by your self. you can win sereas foot damage doing it. I´m beguinig to do points and i can tell you your feet aren´t correct. look i´m 13 too and i now is hard but wait a litle bit more, until your teacher have time to teache you well. good lck and sorry by the inglish i´m portuguese, stell learning.

Makers of Pointe Shoes: Talented craftsmen.

Rule of Thumb: Never go en pointe without a qualified instructor's supervision at all times.

Golden Secret: Be patient and work hard.

Problem with this girl: Could use more turnout and you're slightly off your box.

What make are those pointe shoes?

[kawzx10r04]

there not tied right the laces are suposed to be tucked in

[jsbach38]

these shoes do not seem to fit you properly. they haven't been tied properly either. It is vital to be properly fitted after all, what you are doing is not natural for our feet. Do lots of strengthening exercises on demi pointe and with a pilates band. Be careful as damaging a still growing body can have horrible repercussions later on. I am in my 40's and a ballet teacher and would also reccomend a professional teacher as you do not want chronic injuries from dancing incorrectly.

[knowitallAJ]

I just got my first pointe shoes and I was wondering, and I don't mean to offend you in any way, did you go to a shop to have them fit you or did you order off line? Also, what shoes do you have? I have Bloch suprimas! :D

[clogsworth456]

you're not arching enough

[Joojo151]

I've been dancing for 11 years and i'm 13.I dance modern ballet (ballet jazz). No one can really teach me the pointe. Well she can but she doesn't have the time. Do you think I should start on my own?

[Izziiee121]

@Joojo151 If you think your feet are ready and you've done enough exercises to strengthen them then I think go for it! No point waiting when you've got it all right there :) Just start off really slow and do short exercises every day then you can grow until you have someone to teach you the harder exercises x

[josephinea1]

@Izziiee121 i had the strength to do pointe (my teacher said) but i was asked to wait till ballet class resumed after the summer hols. and then i wuz so excited that i secretly bought myself a pair of pointe shoes and sprained my ankle rolling up. when my teacher taught me to roll up, she aligned me properly

[EllieNoralyn]

@Izziiee121 nooooo do u even do ballet cause anyone who does ballet knows not to teach yourself or do pointe at home without lessons!!

[iwilldance4evernever]

@Izziiee121 Well... you can do small things but you really just need someone to teach you the basics... you can do it on your own after words :)

[EllieNoralyn]

@Joojo151 dont ever teach yourself even if you have been doing ballet and your strong enough fo pointe you could ruin your feet or even blow out ur ankles or knees..dont do pointe without lessons!!

[lmartucci95]

it's obvious your holding on to something. get your arch over your big toe

[Izziiee121]

@lmartucci95 hm, erm yeah I don't recall ever denying holding onto anything, kinda replaces a barre. It's OBVIOUS that I am. Points for observation.

[delenalovergirl]

ive only been doing ballet for like two years, and then i stopped but i want to start it again. ive been practising with regular ballet slippers for like two weeks, but now i want to start pointe. ive never done pointe before, so any tips of the trade to help me get started? such as basics, need to knows and how not to hurt myself :) it would be greatly appreciated

[balletbod1]

@delenalovergirl You should do some thigh strengthening, a good way to do that is to lie on your side and lift both legs together. You should also do some stomach strengthening, to do that lie face up with your knees bent and lift your body up, hold it half way, you should be able to feel it, and if you are trying you should be trembling..... Any other things you want to know about pre-pointe, ask me! Hope this helped

[Izziiee121]

@MyLuisa01 I didn't jump, and my ribbons were too short to be tucked in. Thanks though?

[balletgyrl2404]

Next year we are supposed start pointe but my dad is going2 florida nd said he will bring a pair i will use them without instruction is that okay?

[Izziiee121]

@balletgyrl2404 Hey, I started pointe by myself and a lot of annoying girls on here will say that you have to have a teacher otherwise you could hurt yourself blah blah blah, but if you know the basics then you can do it by yourself! Watch some videos on youtube of people doing pointe and learn from them! If you need any help when you start send me an inbox :)

[happinessforever1504]

@Izziiee121 Do you actually do ballet???? Cause it looks like you don't!!!!! And its even worse your advising people to do pointe without a teachers permission. are you retarded???

[knowitallAJ]

@balletgyrl2404

although i haven't started pointe yet, and i think this video is really good, i think you should dtill wait. It's up to you of course but i think it would be better. The truth is you can hurt yourself. You could break your toes/foot and that is not something you want! This is a very good video though and i agree that you should look at some more videos on youtube! good luck when you start! :D

[alisialovesdarwyn]

@balletgyrl2404 its okaaay but make sure they fit properbly:) and make sure you break them in correctly before you start doing to much:)x

[dancer4lifee1000]

what brand are your pointe shoes ? they look really nicee

[JillAndMattForever58]

Thank you, I have a lead roll to do in the nutcracker but I have to get good at pointe, this helps a lot, you are really good, your feet look beautiful :D

[Izziiee121]

@JillAndMattForever58 Wow, good luck! Hope it goes well, big role to take! I'm not that good, just a beginner doing a few classes every so often :) thankyou very much!

[westendreamx]

What make are your pointe shoes :S?

[AylinArainai2011]

I never have had a teacher's ok to begin pointe, what's the opinion on learning anyways?? Outside my classes, I mean.

[Izziiee121]

@AylinArainai2011 my teacher just gave me feet exercises to do every day for about 6 months until my feet were strong enough to go on pointe, if you cant find any exercises to do just send me a message and i'll be happy to help :)

[primaballerina1111]

helpfull.....watch my video and give my tips cause i really dont think im good...nor do i feel like im doing it right?

[Izziiee121]

@primaballerina1111 hiya i watched your video, you could be really good! when you go up on pointe you should work through your feet more like in stages, onto the ball of your foot then onto pointe instead of going straight up! And when you were stretching try not to go over on your box because it could be bad for your ankles :) but keep going! don't give up, you're doing really well!

[xXxpandasxXx]

Your feet look so adorable xD Like a doll's

[Izziiee121]

@xXxpandasxXx hehehe thankyou :D

[FollowYourDream95]

you should tuck your ribbons in, to make sure you don't fall. but good work!

[Izziiee121]

@FollowYourDream95 only a retard could trip on ribbons that short, but thanks :)

[boredperson8x]

i have a BONER.

[chaoscreater96]

I'd tap that.

[Stacey4747]

your shoes look too big for you.

[Izziiee121]

@Stacey4747 the women who fitted me gave me too wide shoes, thanks for the observation -.-

[iluvpurple479]

Hey I was wondering what the usual standards for beginning pointe

I have a teachers ok to start but I have to transfer go to a different dance I'm nervous that the new dance won't let me.... PLEASE AWNSER!!!!!!!!!!

[shawnastark1]

[LaPommeDore]

[SinticFire]
