[Aprilooo3]

@melturpopsicle some people dont need them

[nastianew1]

i always dance in grishko 2007 - they are very comfortable & soft. for the beginner will be a good choice)) good luck))

[refleccion]

how does she dance on that photography backdrop paper? That stuff is slippery!!! A beautiful ancer, lovely technique :)

[carlyheartsdance]

so ahh.. am I the only one who wouldn't even consider wearing this to a photoshoot? xD I don't think I'd even wear that to dance at my house :P she's a great dancer tho.

[PaidPal]

Ballerinas are so adorable

[mochabubble]

Considerable pain? just considerable? try Excruciating at times

[danceismything2]

EXACTLY

the narrarator probably has never done ballet

[fyiable]

Amazing dancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[PinkKissedLips]

I'd love to get some new shoes on the market! I have a super strong arched feet, like, I have an arch close to allesandra ferri's. I use russian pointe, which I love, but they don't last me long at all.

[jankoraven]

Um... Gaynor Mindens, anyone?

[xxxcarinamxxx]

omg...im starting pointe soon and i hope i become at good as her!!! she was sooo flexy!!! im still struggling for the splits!

[janie3094]

yeah, i'm having splits problems too!

[LiVeLaUgHLoVeGiRlY]

@xxxcarinamxxx lunges can really help improve splits. I was in the same predicament and (deep)  lunges really helped my hips and splits

[dancerswish3]

wat a beautiful dancer. those shoes look perferct for her feet.

very nice vidio. =D

[clowntju]

yes the arab. is gorgeous <3 beauty!

[TashaH89]

considerable pain?? understatement of the century

[wookumbunch]

her feet.... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[miccanna]

wow :D

gorgeous && amazing =D

[babyballerina16]

What shoes are those?

I dont really get the whole thing.

Can some one explain?

Whats a spark award?

[brwnhoney]

i didnt get what a spark award was either lol. doh

[ABTBluebird]

i don't get it.

[FirEyes3369]

how do you train your feet to have a good arch and wing like that? i stretch my feet and strengthen them a lot and it doesn't seem to be doing much.

[hautecouture7294]

what kind of pointe shoes are those?

sorry but sound doesnt work on my computer =(

would you recommend them for a beginner pointe?

[RudaKatia]

@hautecouture7294

The pointe shoe's are Capulet Juliette D30 shoe, that is a new generation of pointe shoes. That pointe shoes are veeery comfortable. :)

I think, the best pointe shoes for beginners is Sansha Recital (202) :)

[FrankieDaFrid]

@hautecouture7294 there aren't exactly certain shoes that are perfect for beginner pointe, because the beginner is going to need to get the pointe shoes fitted, as those shoes might not fit your feet well at all. :)

[RockinBalletPrincess]

shes an amazing dancer!! .. did you see her arabesque!!!!!!! gorgeous XD

[Viryyy]

Her arabesque was really really good! ö

She dances so beautifull!

[smellanaa]

you dont need a pad for those shoes..they have cushion already in! i am getting a pair!

[RockinBalletPrincess]

what shoes are they?? i want themm xx

[DorothyCREAM]

oh my, she didn't wear ouch pouch.

it must of hurt an awful lot.

[28406]

that accent is slightly annoying to me

[BalletNinja6]

i love how she is so continuous without even being told what to do.

[hydroruf]

Does anyone know the tune?

[MarianaSyvonneC]

really beautifull dancer!!!!! shoes look lovely

[BryndisSnae]

oh my god! i know this girl!! we were together in the Yorkshire Ballet Seminars this summer! She's amazing dancer!

[7catcrazyballerina7]

she looked amazing, and has a beautiful arch

[ChisaiJoyu]

the camera clicked so many times, took so many pictures, because for action photos you need a fast shutter speed. otherwise they get blurry. also, it takes a lot of pictures because it's hard to get a good one when someone's moving so quickly

[KaptainKlancy]

That lady's camera sounded like it was on speed. Push the button once and it takes six pictures!

[danceandhorses]

why didnt she use pads? that must've hurt like hell

[advancedanced07]

i know really

[dancinfroge]

A lot of dancers don't use toe pads, especially if they're only going to be dancing for short periods of time. 7-hour rehearsals may require a bit more padding, but a short photo shoot wouldn't be terrible. It all about putting your weight in the right places, pulling out of your shoes, and, of course, calluses.

[xo0Broadwaybaby]

Your right about the calluses. I miss my pedicures =(

[xXxDaNcExgIrLxXx]

She has lvely (and very long!) feet; I wish I could dance as well as her...

[gothlolidoll]

19Christi70-

Why do you say that? I thought they looked nice on her feet and if she was unstable she wouldnt be about to do all that she did.

They looked like they werent really broken in.

[carobolivar]

wha do you knw about this!?...she look amazing!

[19Christi70]

Those are ugly and se looks unstable.
