  • Clean your house...

  • your ankles are wobbly and could use more exercises.

    try to be more light on your feet; pointe shoes don't make that much noise...

  • Wow! You are really good at staying on the box! :]

  • Also, I was thinking about putting up some of my own pointe work and stuff but I'm kinda afraid because I'm not professional, but I'm like at a intermediate stage and with all the terrible comments you have gotten I'm really afraid I would get similar ones! Your really good:)

  • I have a friend similar to you, i've watched a couple of your videos and I've noticed you have problem straightening your legs. Alot of comments have been similar to "you 4 year old stop dancing with bend knees!" well that doesn't help you at all. My friend physically cannot straighten her right leg all the way, and maybe that's your problem too. Practice will help but never give up!

  • cute animals!

  • I love the cats ! May suggest you include a pas de chat ?

  • i like your animals. your dancing is pretty kick butt too:)

  • Awesome! nice socks....

  • So that was very good. But just and FYI don't wear socks with your pointe shows. Especially not new ones! It will dammage the molding to your foot. But other then that it was great. stay on the box of your foot. Oh and also when you are in B+ make sure your foot isn't sickled! Bad sickle, no sickle!!!!!! Sickle bad!!!!! :P

  • ahh make sure your passes are turned out and your feet aren't sickled!

  • wow u have alot of animals

  • PLEASE PLEASE ...straighten ur knees that cld end ur dancin career real fast !!!

  • oh! i love ur pets =D haha well done!

  • i am not on pointe yet but i want to know what its like so far i think ill like it

  • Your echeppes need straightened knees. But other than that, and the sickling, you're pretty good.

  • Hey guys- if any of you could go chceck out my pointe videos and let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it! I am just starting and love advice and comments on what I do well and what I need to improve! Thanks :D

  • You're sickling your right foot. Other than that, keep up the good work!

  • careful when you do your posse you were sickling your foot other than that very good

  • wow watch those echappes please! wen you do your echappes your knees are soo bent.. you need to make sure that you well for starters turn out more from the hip and secondly pull those knees up and make them nice and strong, also pull your ankles and calfs up too that will help improve your balance and stay up there longer, you have nice pointe shoes though- very pretty :)

  • The only thing I would say is to try to make the echeppes a little wider, into 2nd position, but other then that you seem very strong, and you have beautiful feet. =]

  • però la casa la potresti tenere più ordinata cara...comunque brava!!!!!!!

  • omg if only the socks wouldn't be THIS ugly it would be a good video! ;D

  • cool are your archs broken in? and what is your padding?

  • you are really good!

  • ur good

  • You are great and have great arches!

  • cool

    i smell like cat pea

  • ur white cat is welll cute xx but u need to straighten ur legs on your releves x apart frm tht really gurd x

  • pugsy wugsy

  • nice job hun:)

  • awesome socks!

  • you can do wider echapesies

  • i dont like those socks but ur feet look great!

  • you have nice feet .. but never wear those hideous socks again!

  • OMG You have crazy amazing arches! I LOVE your feet! Gorgous!

  • How do you dance with no rubber!?!?! ITS SSSOOOO HARD!!!!!!!!!

  • i was looking up pointe dancing vids when i came across this. your really really good! you stay on the box of your shoes which is good, I have trouble with that :) and you have really strong arches! nicee.

  • Your white cat looks like a cross between my cat Sunshine and my cat Blanca. lol. I just felt like saying that. Pretty good on pointe. The only thing I see is your legs bending just a tad and I noticed that your left foot is stronger.

  • Good work. Just don't sickle while in tendu or while working up to passe. Beveling makes it much more defined. =]

  • EShapes are LOVELY

  • Luv ur arches they are so good

  • i cant wait until i get my point shoes at the end of summer

  • aww your dog and cats are really cute!

  • Cute pets, great feet, awsome socks!!

    BRAVO GIRL:)

    xoxoxo

  • wow the famous socks!

  • I'd straigten your knees a bit more...

    but ur really good!!

  • the pets are soooo cute!!! and you're really good

  • I love how you start by introducing us to your little family of pets! You have really good feet... and groovy socks :-)

  • Make sure you straighten you knees. Your good though and I also have 2007 Griskos and they work very well for me.

  • nice socks!

  • STRAIGHTEN YOUR KNEES!!!!

  • only one thing that i think you can work on...stretch your knees all the way...you can really get hurt, it isn't bad, but try to stretch them before an injury occurs...other than that good job!

  • It though it was great! u can reallt get up on your box!

  • im not experianced in ballet stuff, but i think you did pretty good! also, your white cat, is so cute!

  • can't believe how bitchy some people are being. i dont have experience but love watching ballet and i love to be able to do what you can do, you have grace and dance really well, your legs have great strength and lastly i love your style!! fab!!!!

  • Dominique6525- you are actually a loser, im sure you wouldnt even have the guts to post a video as you are probly only good at one thing... being a stupid fuck face twat, people like you really PISS ME OFF and you really need to get a life, :)

  • kay like relax. if shes improving, then shes improving. if you dont have anything nice to day, direct your energy elsewhere, because its not needed here.,

  • Im sure she wants constructive critisim not "Retatrd Knows it all" critisim! Just try togo on Demi-Pointe when foing up on pointe and when your doing your tendu's ^^

  • there is a difference between criticism and simply being a bitch. you sound like a middle school girl with a personal vendetta. get over yourself.

  • but they WERE being mean about her. go get a life and u dont even no wat vendetta means so shut the f*ck up. o, and by the way, ur a bitch.

  • well, there's a difference between CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, and just plain criticism. and by the way, pointeshoe22 was being a bitch. u just cant realize it cuz ur one too

  • jeez, y do u have to be so mean? its people like u who make the world a bad place. have fun at christmas

  • No need to be so rude! Do you do ballet? Do you do pointe? I hope so, or else you shouldn't even be THINKING of sending a comment like that.

  • When you do your eschappe you wobble a bit, but whatever, your feet are AWESOME

  • i used to have grishkos 2007! they were nice but werent working for my feet..now i haev elite grishko..

  • ur pointe shoes r very wel broken in! mine r different from everyone elses in my pointe class and harder to brek in, and wen i tried to break it in, i almost broke the shank!! im so glad it didnt break. now im working on breaking it in more towards the paper mache part

  • are they russian pointe?

  • how did/do you find the grishko's? I've had 2 pairs now but i don't feel they're right. and they're a bugger to break in!

  • well I only wear grishkos now, but they're the opposite for me. they're very comfortable but they're too too soft! I have the super hard now and it's rediculous

  • No your quite good,love.

    I'd like to see more videos(:

    haha your sig is adorable as well.

  • u need to turn out ur legs a bit more. If u do then u'll be able to build more muscles, and be less likely to git injured. Also, try to sraighten ur knees. Its ok if u dont get over ur box at first, with practice, u'll be awesome!

  • I knew they were grishkos. Oh how I hate the stupid shoe. Sorry, I truly hate them. One critique I must give is when your going up on your pointe shoes, keep your knees straight. They tend to be bent a bit, and that's not good. Trust me. Ive danced a while now on pointe.

  • why can't anyone give constructive critism anymore without attempting to show off? I mean...wouldn't you think I'd appreciate it much more without reading..."I'm amazing, I know what I'm doing, I'm better than you." jeeze guys,idc. if you wanna help me, THANKS! but Idc about you and your show-offy ways

  • hey i first just watched this vid. i suggest that u straighten ur legs more. also, i have a question. how do u not slip on the floor? wel, i guess it takes practice

  • hi!

    im luana. im just just starting pointe on the feb,20,08 and the teacher did tell me to break them in.

    You are soo good =]

    my teacher did say i needed a hard shank, because i have a strong arch she says. it will probably be hard to break them in.

    She is going to check my shoes first. so its not too loose or too tight.

    but how exacle should the shoe feel?

    what padding can i use. and What tips do you have?

    Im soo freaking excited :] im just trying not to put them on cuz its dangerous and all.

  • type in how to break in pointe shoes and click on lisa howels video

  • you need to cross your thighs more in susu and fifth position and straighten your knees a lot more

  • do u use padding and if so how uch and what type?

  • yum.

    i love my 2007's too.

    :]

  • oh congrats! yes I love grishkos! well there are may ways you can break in your pointeshoes. If this is your first time on pointe you should make sure you have the super soft shank (it will say SS on the shank) and then just dance in them, and do relevees. That is the best way, you should not force them in the first week, keep working :]

  • Ooo they are sooo loud V.v But yeah your cool.

  • im above your level En Pointe , your arrongant .

  • nice vid. i dunno why everyone needs to be so damned critical of videos like this.

    youre just playing around a little.

    i started pointe when i was 12 (teachers hubby was a chiropractor & wouldnt let girls under 12 do pointe or character. its bad for your back apparently). i'm almost 23 now & stopped dancing when i was 13 but im going back and hopefully i'll get to where i used to be.

    either way i liked your vid. how do you love your grishkos?

  • work on straitening your legs and strengthening your legs. other wise you are really good

  • you really good, im impressed.

    maybe straighten your legs a tad bit more, but who am i to criticize (:

    keep it up bby!

  • hey that wus good

    the only things i would pointe out is to straightn ur legs a little bit and close in to fifth more tightly other wise that wus great!

  • you are very good

    but im sry u do have haveweak ankles and its kinda scary.

    but nice arch

  • you're very good!!

    nice pets!!

    :)

  • That looks really nice! I think you are really good! by the way your pug is really cute!!!!! I have a pug. your cats are cute too! and PointeShoe22 that wasn't very nice. . .

  • I have huuuge arches! very very large arches! and this video shows that greatly so I don't know what viedeo you're commenting on. I also have a problem with going over my box too much and must refrain from that. I think I'll get advice from someone who can actually dance since you dont know what you're talking about. I'm way past your level...I won't respond to any more of your comments

  • omg y do u have to be so rude? arrogant brat. seriously, u need to control ur anger and jealousy. this vid is really good! dont let people like PointeShoe22 get u down.

  • you're doing a fabulous job, just work on your arches! those socks are pretty amazing too =] and keep up the good work, you are doing really well =D

  • Well done - dont stop, keep going.

  • You sickled your feet a little in your passe releves, but that's about it.

    You look really good =D

  • its amazing....but looking at your improvement i would think its a completely different person...

    the only 2 things that i mainly saw were 2 straighten ur legs a lil more and to watch your turn-out but other than that WOW!!!!

  • thank you so much! I greatly appreciate your comment! :D I've been working so hard on my knees and I'm gonna keep working :) thanks again so much!<3

  • :O

    I love your socks!

  • Your feet are very sickled. Please work on them for your own sake. Those socks are ugly, never wear socks with pointe shoes! that is not ballet-like. Do you not agree? i never go to ballet class with those hideous things on my legs. Change pointe shoes, they do not suit you. If that was the improvement, go back to that school and learn some more because i can clearly see that you can do better than this.

  • umm...yeah I have just one or two words for you...you are a low life close minded idiot

    take that to heart.

    my feet are not sicked,I'm wearing those pretty socks I got so I don't have to get my whole leotard and tights on (since I am only practicing at home) and these shoes are amazing on my feet. You're just jelouse because you probably don't have a nice arch, good talent, friends, or even pretty socks...do you not agree? don't comment again on my videos

  • uhm. actually you are sickling. and its not like they're just trying to help. have a baby...

  • you go girl!

  • great job!

  • is it easier 2 do pointe work on wood floors?

  • No xXIndiGirlXx, Wood floors are much more slippery and as a matter of fact it's very dangerous. You acn slip and fall, contrarily to normal studio floors (which frankly have no idea of what they are made of :S) Are safe because you can bounce and it even helps you jump higher because of built in springs in the floor itself.

  • okay thanks :D

  • i agree with u on that colorful cami. but i think wooden floors r better than carpet, because carpet can be very thick and hard to work on. but i like normal studio floors the best =)

  • i think its easier than carpet...much easier

  • nice socks=]

  • why would you be puttinjg rubber on your shoes???

    you dont straighten your legs... and those shoes dont flatter your arch

  • haha build a bear box.

  • lovly cute dog!!!

  • to me that looks PAINFUL!

  • whoo go grishko! =]

    you are a little sickling with your right foot on those passe's. and it's very importent to sraighten your knees all the time.

    beautiful feet

    good luck!

  • you have beautiful arches.

    If you can stretch your legs and keens straight.

    It would be perfect~~~

  • Wow you have improved. I have the same shoes so I like to see how they work on other people. You look great. :)

  • woo yuu really good but u need 2 pull ur legs up more. can u have a look at my vidio its quite short but if you could comment on plz .

  • thank you all for your very nice comments! I've gotten a lot better, and am improving fast, I can do double pique turns, additude turns, double pirouettes, fauettes, and basically anything else, (of course not everything because I'm still learning) but I'm trying to show examples of how much I am improving, and can do, I'll try to bring my video camera to class one time! <3 thanks again

  • How old were you in this video? You have amazing arches!

  • waffle fort likes to make mean comments on EVERBODY! dont listen to them. your doing great :] good arches. just work on those bent knees ;]

  • wafflefort just likes to make mean comments on EVERYBODY! dont listen to them. your great :] just work on those bent knees :]

  • You are hopeless.

  • ok your dogs are better at ballet

  • YOUR KNEESS!

    lol

    your doing good

    its november though

    post more

    i can give you some great tips

  • you're knees are bent

  • thank you all for your nice comments and generous constructive critism. I aprpeciate it <3

  • You need to straighten your legs and pull your knees tight when on full pointe. Otherwise GREAT!

  • I love your socks! And your arches are beautiful. I have Grishko 2007's too! (I've been en pointe for a month or so)

    btw, cute pets

  • Okay, one more time please (a) How do you get on your toes? Just.. jump and see where you land? You make it look so easy, byt a friend of mine is also a dancer and she's just started on point shoes and she says that it hurts really bad.

  • you roll through your feet until on the platform of your shoes (also known as the box), there is no jumping onto your toes, it's very dangerous and painful, and untechnical. if you jumped without knowing where you were going, then everyone could do it. it is much much more difficult, which is why you need the training. It does hurt badly when you first start pointe, but I have been dancing for a while so I don't feel it anymore. :)

  • also ballerinagirl, you're getting much ebtter, just remember to keep those knees straight! =)

  • Yeah, definitely no jumping =D Good explanation ballering612

  • you have nice legs but try to straighten them a little more they would look gorgeous.

  • your pets are ADORABLE!! im so jealous, i wish i could do ballet...:)

  • How old where you when you started dancing? And how old are you now?

  • you're wobbling on your echappes!

    straighten your knees

  • OMG I HAVE THE SAME SHOES AS YOU! (Grishko's 2007) i got them last week! ur awsome, i love ur animals too, they are absoluely adorable! (oh and crazy socks!)

  • and thank you for the comments on my animals everyone I appreciate ALL comments :)

  • You're fabulous, love your arches, and the socks! What brand are those?

  • my shoes are Grishko '007! Thank you about my arches! <3

  • Many thanks for the video! Your white cat is adorablew

    ...

    I think you've improved a lot, especially because you strecht your knees completely, which I think you didn't do perfectly before. I'm so glad that you're improving so much in so little time. And you said you started late to dance... You are good, why didn't you start before!

  • Thank you EliseCharlotte! I appreciate your comment so much! I didn't start late to dance, just pointe, and I started late because the year before I as supposed to start pointe, I switched dance schools, and so my teacher did not realize that I was strong enough, but they say I'm just as good I would have been if I started earlier so that makes me feel good :)

  • nice animalsXD there soo cute i like those shoes lol there rly loud r they new??

  • I've never really understood what knuckled meant...could you explain? and thank you very much! I appreciate you being so kind!

  • its when you push down on your toes to make your pointe look better!!! Its a pleasure to help!!! I love pointe class!!! How old were you when you got pointe shoes? I was ten and i still am!!! I got them in january 2007!!! I'd love to hear about yours!!!
