[JEAfan]

[cpayne4ever]

[Ennyl13]

What are you holding on to when you are En Pointe?

[LaurenBalletStar]

good job standing on the box! its hard to do that so perfectly in new pointe shoes :D

[Cynamon1984]

Are they withe?

[yaaruka789]

your second position is so perfect!

wish i had that perfect position on pointe like you have ;)

very nice legs. great job :)

how long have you been doing pointe work?

[uworonuk]

wow at 2:25 it looks like your back shoe is too big for you. It could be just something with the video angle but it looks weird =D

[triplethreat913]

you are great!!! i WANT your feet! :) adorable dog, btw

[tamemeifyoucan]

they look beautiful on you..good form too!

[SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

You have AMAZING turnout. My turnout sucks.

[hopnibble]

how long do your pointe shoes last?

my roommate dances and her shoes are destroyed by the end of the week.

[MissBombat]

I SHOULD HAVE STAYED ON AT BBALLLET !!! I started when i was 4 and quit at 6 because i moved to a different area in england !! i was sooo exied about getting points but i couldnt start again cause there was no ballet schools around !  Btw i diidnt know those shoes were so loud !!

[05ihay]

wow they fit you really perfectly and look so clean!

[Mstitzel222]

I say this to everyone, but turnout helps you so much! Good job, though keep your knees going straight over you toes in your plie to prevent injuring them. What model are they? I was in the Entradas for years and I just switched to Gaynors, and I love them so much.

[CrazyAboutBallet]

You are quite good! your pointe shoes are soo clean!! i wish mine were as clean as that :P

[dnycp]

haha well, thank you!! they dont stay clean forever sadly :(

[alexxieebetchh]

Wow your pointe shoes are beautiful ! Love your technique too, how long have you been dancing for?

I started ballet at 13 but it was on and off. Now I'm much better and I started actual weekly classes at age of 15. :) Can't wait till I get on pointe's though!

[OneMoreLie4You]

i love Russians the ar emy fave!!!

[DisIsRockerChelsea01]

hey! i have a question wat pads do u use? answer asap!

[fullofliebe]

waaaa i just get crazy with the sound they make!!!! (the pointe shoes) i love it <3, it was nice girl, i wish one day i can get pointe shoes -_-

[ballerinastar42]

i thought for a second you were talking about ur allerigies...LOL really nice though

[philom5]

grishkos work great for me, yet my feet aren't as strong as yours. I not saying to go back to grishkos because those russians look great on your feet. But if you get them in hard, they work well beyond the first pair.

[asilandi]

wow ma sei bravissima !!!

[dnycp]

english please? or at least the language so i can translate :)

but uhhh thanks!

[asilandi]

I have said that you are very good =) also i dance by nine years =)

P.S. sorry I have 5 en english -.-" XD

[Lyn683]

great job my friend decided to take mine to her house ad put them in and guess what she broke both her feet going into pointe idk how she got her hands on them and they were new grishkos and now there is blood all over them

[dnycp]

WOW, i guess your friend is pretty hurt, no?

i hope she gets better, and quite frankly, never gets another pair of pointe shoes on her feet again!!!

sorry about the bloody mess of shoes!!!

[Lyn683]

IKKKKK AND THANX AND you re doing great.................. hur mom grounded her so no more fun of dancing

[dnycp]

thank you!!

this is pretty old, ill get around to uploading another vid sooner or later.

haha i broke my foot dancing too!! but it wasnt in pointe shoes thank god!!! but yet i still put on pointe shoes everyday for the entire time it was broken.

not too smart huh? lol

[Lyn683]

ummmm no not really i havent posted any videos i get busy tehe but ya i love dancing but the things about russians the ones i had after one clas i needed new ones

[dnycp]

what kind are you thinking of getting?

[Lyn683]

idk really i will c

[sleepovershow123]

get some Capezio there awesome

[dnycp]

sorry, but capezio's are not right for my feet. they dont fit good.

[jeadoresteve]

You have beautiful feet! Good work! My first pair of pointe shoes were Grishko 2007's, and I am considering Russian Ruby's for my second pair. I have high arches, do you think they will be ok for me?

[dnycp]

thank you so much! my first pair were grishko 2007's too and i loved them but i guess they broke in to easily for me. i think i needed a harder shank to start of with. ummm.. i have no experience with Russian Ruby's but make sure that arch is supported and you can get over the box correctly. just because the arch IS supported doesnt mean its the right shoes for ya!

good luck!

[strangesugarfairy]

wow those are amazingly beautiful. are they white or is it just the light?

[dnycp]

yes they are white!

thanks you!

[hekballet]

watch out Russians go dead fast my friend had a pair they were dead after 3 classes and they arent cheep. But ur feet is beautyful

[dnycp]

yeah i know they are soooo beautiful. but everything beautiful has its flaws (sp?)

mine arent dead yet but my next pair wont be 3/4 shanks, theyll be full. its more confortable for my feet that way.

oh and thank you!!

[frootloops116]

bahahaha zyrtec commercial in the backround X33>

Im still on my first pair of grishkos (proflex :D:D) but the only reason is that ive been jet gluing like crazy eeeeverywhere X>

russian pointes are goooorrrrrgeous

especially on you! :D

polettes?

[dnycp]

haha!!!

how are you liking the grishkos? i personally loved them on my feet but i didnt like the way they broke in.

yes, they are polettes!! but i have the 3/4 shanks!!! its a much different feel than the full shanks, but i love them anyways!! if you have really narrow feet like me, you should try them!!

[frootloops116]

oooo, im really loving them, but, (unfortunately) the platform's going a little soft on me :((

im just sooo considering russian pointes, though XD

but nope

sorry

wiiiiide feetsies fer me -___-

good or bad, i dont know, but like yeah

WOOT!

[dnycp]

yeah, thats always an issue with the grishkos. mine did the same thing, so just be careful because it will not be comfy!

[MeyMeyPalaGirls]

You all are so lucky you guys got ballet or gymnastics.. Here in Singapore, its hard to find one class.. I guess I'm too late to join one .I have to practise at home by myself!.. LOL.. I adore your pointe shoes BTW!

[dnycp]

haha im sorry about that!!!

how old are you? even when you go to college you can still dance, just its better to start real young to get the flexibilty!

good luck finding a class!

[MeyMeyPalaGirls]

I'm 11.. Wow..When I was surfing the net, I finally got one class.. Yay! Thanks !!!

[dnycp]

im really happy for you!i started dancing when i was 13 so you will be fine with the flexibility and stuff. it really depends on the person though.

[NyliaJo]

They look nice! A bit baggy maybe, but pretty nice beyond that. However, I would suggest that you sew your ribbons on about a ribbon width closer to your toes, if that makes sense. That will give you more support in your arches, and help with some of the bagging that's going on. Sewing elastic to your shoes will help keep them from slipping off your heels. Keep up the good work! You have lovely flexible ankles, so as you take advantage of that, be sure to keep them strong! :)

[dnycp]

i have sewn them on already! they do work wonders :)

[disneyprincess927]

i just switched from grishko to russian pointe to. THey look really good on you. I haven't sewn them yet. Any tips on how to adapt to the new shoe?

[dnycp]

well, your just going to have to suffer:) they are not the easiest shoes to break in, especially at the demi pointe but after a few weeks they should be good for ya.

[LyricalPointeJazzTap]

i feel your pain...I wear Prima Soft which is a branch of russian pointe brand...they are just made for wider feet...

[buggycutie]

wow i love rusians i have a pair but you said your old pointe shoes broke in to easy?welll i wore my russians for 4 hours or rehersal and they were dead. But they are sooooo amazing i love them!

[mdemo7]

i just got my second pair a couple months ago also! i have capezio's, tho. anyway, i liked the point shoes. =)

[TheRealKookie00]

Do Russians only come in white??

[dnycp]

it really depends on what style shoe you get. they all look a little bit different.

[berriesinmyears]

russian points you say?

thats what i use, there a great shoe, the one thing that i would recommend for breaking in your shoes is to make-sure that you get the releve really broken in, it will help lose the load sound.

other than that your doing great, just make sure you really concentrate on your turn out.

[xsheenax55]

wow those shoes are soo beautiful! they really flatter your feet =)

[dnycp]

they are sooo beatiful. thank you for that!! =]

[Nathalie2905]

Really good! Maybe you need to work on the strenght of your enkles...

xx

[dnycp]

i will do that!! thanks XD

[EliseCharlotte]

Are those Polette 3/4? They make your feet look really beautiful!! You have a nice turn out too!

[dnycp]

yes they are i believe. ive been trying to work on my turn-out, so thank you so much!!

[dancer021756]

haha i have grishko as my 3rd pair. 1st were blochs, 2nd were capezios, and i just got grishko's about 2 days ago

[dnycp]

out of the three, grisko's are much better!!

[LoveyBabe1213]

wow good vid!

[dnycp]

thank you!!

[PraiseDancer29]

You have very nice arches,How long have you been on Pointe? I like your dog! He/She wants to be a star!

[dnycp]

last season, i was only on pointe for 2 weeks until i broke my foot in rehearsal for our show. so you could say about 4 months.

and yes, my dog wants to be a star, isnt he histerical!?!?!?
