Great arch!! keep pushing through your foot, Safety tips: CARPET + POINTE SHOES=POSSIBLY BROKEN ANKLES!!!!! :p and thicker elastics would help so you don't push over your shoe too much, you can pull a muscle in your arch, it almost happened to my friend....keep up the good work((: !!!!!!
very nice, knuckling happens a lot wiht new shoes try one of the ways to break it in that were mention below. as for requests I would like to see a echappe to arabesque. You dance very well.
For the backs that come off,you can have a spray bottle {dollar store bought or whatever,just make sure it's small } and spritz a little water onto your tights. It'll have your pointes stick to your feet better,just don't put any outside your pointes or stain stain stain!
use jett super glue or really any kind of LIQUID NOT GEL super glue to put in the box right when you get them before you break them in or dance in them and they'll last at least 3 months longer. They should anyway...
Carpet=bad. One foot is stronger than the other it looks like, but I have the same problem. You just have to work on it. Breaking in, well, just dance on them. They'll break in in time.
I think you should turnout your left leg a bit more so that it is even with your right one :D I also agree that dancing on carpet is not that great. It can be very dangerous.
tip 1: boil a kettle and hold ur pointe shoes over the opening. let the steam go into the pointe and quickly put the shoe on without any ouch pads. kmeep them on until they feel cold and hard again. this will make them mould to ur feet.
tip2: Put ur pointes on with ur ouch pads. cross one of ur feet over the other and let the behinde legs knee push into the back of the front legs knee. this should help ur pointe find ur arch.
For breaking in, my teacher has us bend the shank a little and step on the box. If the backs are slipping off you can take a little bit of water and spray it on your tights (but NOT your pointe shoes!) and when you slip the heel back over your tights it will stick a little bit better.
i have grishkos too and i love them. i advise you to break the sole and bend it back. Also move the elastics farther back on your ankle, that way the backs dont fall off. Do some ankle exercises because it looks like you have weak ankles like me.
but your arches are really pretty. i would recommend a harder shank or different shoe for you because grishkos are way to easy and are for people with their arches not fully developed. plus challenges are good for ballerinas. you really need to find where you can put your feet and confidence to its best.
put water on the back of them and they wont come off dont make a big deal about them not lasting long, I am 12 and my pointe shoes turn dead in 1-2 weeks!
I think its just probably from being on carpet:) but sometimes your knuckle when your shoes are dead and i don't think thats the case here, so its the carpet
@unavalablemee ,Hey, are you still having trouble with the backs coming off? if so, get a small peice of elastic in a loop on the back, and when you put your pointe shoes on, run your ribbons through the loop!
on the sliding problem you seem to have get a small spray bottle and spray the heels of your TIGHTS not the shoe, it may stain the shoe if you put it directly on them!
those shoes look beautiful on your feet!!! you're already extremely up onto your box. I would take your shoe and set it on the floor so that the bottom sole of your shoe is facing up, and then bend it 2 break it in. You can also rub water on the outsides of the box on your shoe, but it leaves a temporary stain. I hope that helps!
good arch!!

black tights and pointe shoes bother me.
but your arches are really pretty. i would recommend a harder shank or different shoe for you because grishkos are way to easy and are for people with their arches not fully developed. plus challenges are good for ballerinas. you really need to find where you can put your feet and confidence to its best.

If you have good arches, which it looks like you do, I suggest just breaking them in with your feet. :)

I would recommend always going on pointe with straight knees (unless otherwise instructed) and also try to roll through your shoes more.

you're knuckling a little bit near the start, but it might be the carpet.
I find dancing on carpet so much more uncomfortable then on tile/wood.
