  • it looks like your holding on to something

  • Wow, you dance like a pixie...so light on your feet. It's especially lovely the way you lift out of your pointe shoes. Your echappes are fabulous.

    Your left foot appears to be putting the weight on the fifth (pinky toe), rather than the first and second toes. A toe spacer between the first and second toes can help. However, this could simply be because the box is losing its support because of wear and tear and a new pair of toe shoes might be in order.

    Your feet and legs look good!

  • hm for me, you've got some skills.. just brush it up a little. but overall very good echappes. for other rude ballerinas.. well idk why most 'ballerinas' in youtube are very rude. none in my class is rude. we support each other by giving nice comments and constructive criticism. and there IS a line between constructive criticism and plain mean. these rude so-called-ballerinas in youtube certainly have to know how to relax lol and you should'nt have stopped ballet!

  • very pretty :) great technique!

  • i want to be on pointe SOOOOOOOOO bad..... any tips???

  • great :))

  • what type of pointe shoes do you have they look really good on you are they grishko? :)

  • wow!!!!!!

  • wow!!

    

  • How long have you had these pointe shoes??? ;) And what kind are they???

  • those must feel awful to dance in Lol

  • very good arch

  • u r very rude i ur description.... u r just another ballerina like everyone else not a pro nothing!! just a normal old ballerina!!

  • @LaMargoful I'm sorry I didn't mean to come across that way. I've just gotten a lot of stupid/mean comments

  • @LaMargoful everybody different in there own way doubt your a pro in ballet too. yet again, in pointe

  • Pointe Your Toes More...You Don't Have A Good Arch.

  • Girl, I loved it!!

  • you are really really good for a beginner, I'm part of a dance team and I am going to do pre-pointe in 2 years. I really love pointe- and you were the first video I watched and made me want to do pointe even more :) great job!

  • To the ballerina who knows every cliche--

    I don't know why you were being so defensive in your description of the video. I thought you were great, better than a lot of the amateur videos I've seen put up here.

    You're doing quite well, make no mistake. This film has no soundtrack, no music at all. But maybe it's best to let your dance speak for itself.

    You're certainly progressing. Take heart, you will be good enough to walk with the Gods soon. --With Love, Dane Youssef

  • I've gotten a lot of rude/stupid comments in the past. But thank you very much.

  • uhh im no ballet pointe shoes expert but i was randomly watcing ballet vids and i found a video for breaking in those shoes. its was like a physio dance person teaching you how to do it so be sure to check it out and if they're new they'll probably be stiff and you can break them in but if you dont then it will really streanthen your feet. ;)

  • How Long Have You Been On POinte Im a beginer on pointe and im getting new shoes on saturday what type shoes do u think i should get?

  • How many years have you been on pointe?

  • I had done pointe for about 6 years. I haven't danced in a while, this video is almost 2 years old.

  • how many years you've been in pointe??

  • your not down all the way on your box just work on that and other wise good :)

  • the times right!

  • Comment removed

  • love ur freakin feat

  • once your feet get stronger you will be amazing! keep practicing! good luck!

  • PLEASE TEAAAACH ME TO DO ECHAPPES! (L) lol.... im working hard on them but I just dont get it right! :(

    you are great! :)

  • the lighting stinks but other then thatttt were you holding onto somethin i'm not trying to say you suck at pointe cuz you seem good i'm just asking

  • you are sickling on during ur ecahppes

  • and when shes breaking them in and even just releves.

  • 2 words . JET GLUE =) nice eshappe

  • nvm... wat i meant was, ur shoes r way too soft. it wun b able 2 support ur weight. u may sprain.

  • hey, i tink u hv bend ur pointe shoes way too much. it's too soft n it ll hurt ur leg cuz it wun b able to support ur weight. im alr doing pointes n im vry careful abt e flexibility of my pointe shoes. otherwise, it's rather incredible - ur speed n evryting. well done.

  • ...what?

  • @xEveryClichex she/he said...

    "Hey, I think you bend your pointe shoes way too much. It will make your shoes too soft and it will make your leg hurt because your shoes won't be able to support your weight. I'm already on pointe and I'm very careful about the flexibility of my pointe shoes. Otherwise, it's rather incredible- your speed and everything. Well done!"

    That's my translation. (: Well done... keep on dancing!

  • your lucky yours are that bendy cause mine are new so they are hell stiff atm

    i love ballet:)

    xx

  • Im going on pointe next year, and i wanted to konw if it hurts when you go up on pointe?

  • of course it does! but you eventually get used to it.

  • ya, pointe does hurt. but rly, if u <3 it enough, u wil just get use 2 it cause ur having so much fun! did u no that the presure on ur foot when u go up en point an balance on 1 foot is equivelant 2 the pressure of 3 elaphants standing on top of each other?

    which is2 prove YES it does hurt, for all of u ppl who dun take ballet an think its 4 babies. well its not, but not to scare any1cause after just bout a month on pointe ull start 2 get use 2 it, an after a wile u wont rly even feel the pain

  • It does at first, but once you break in your pointe shoes, it doesn't! (i'm 12 and have been on pointe for about a month) Be sure to get padding! :)

  • lol I love watching people dance on pointe. this will be my third year on them but I like seeing other people dance too.

  • Im taking Pointe in September, is it hard when you first start?

  • yeah its very hard if you dont wear any padding like ouch pouches or gel pads.. like me.. if u do use gel pads.. it just feels weird..

  • GREAT VID! even though their dead you are right on your box great job!

  • perhaps you should cross your fifths more. it would look more neat.

  • i dont know why there leaving mean comments, if they dont like the video, leave. i personally love watching people dance in pointe shoes, it fascinates me. I'm getting my pointe shoes this year, and im so excited! My dance teacher finally said i was ready!

  • Why do people have such an obsession with making videos oif their dead shoes? It's not like they look better that way.

  • not bad. You seem able to spring onto pointe quite easily which bodes well for your future.

  • we can say that your pointeshoes are "nocturne". they are dancers in the night! nice work!

  • "If you don't like it leave :P Nobody's forcing you to watch it, I'm just here for comments, thoughts, constructive criticism etc."

  • you go girl :P

  • Don't pop your heals when you plie, otherwise you'll develop tendinitis.

  • can you explain that? i already have tendonitis.. and my big toe gets stuck when i pointe my toes :(

  • Tendinitis is caused by the lack of elasticity in the tendon. "popping" the heel off the floor during plies and jumps shortens the tendon and hinders that elasticity. That is why you should always make sure your heels are firmly planted on the ground during those plies and jumps.

    On a side note, Keeping your heels on the ground helps with strength for jumps and plies as well. Just like if you shorten your plie for turns, lengthening that tendon makes jumps higher and pointes stronger.

  • You're really good! =]

  • When you go up on pointe, love. Make sure that you really ROLL through that demi pointe. Cause you're not really going through demi to get there. Try doing a few demi exercizes. You have a very lovely arch. I personally think when pointe shoes are dead, they look much prettier :)

  • heynu r good do u have any tips 4 me i am gettin pointe shoes 1 week of july

  • they seem a little dead

  • beautiful except you lean on your pinky toes a bit try to lean on your big toe more! otherwhise great arches

  • great turnout! and good job rolling onto your toes rather than hopping.

  • I just don't understand how anyone can dance with those shoes. I bet your toes hurt a bit X(

  • yeah i know you were holding on to something

  • they are dead pointe shoes and it might not be the best idea to dance in dead pointe shoes i would consider a new pair and i know your aware that they are dead but still

  • Beautiful feet, but i think that you've got sickling.

    Good job howewer

  • Something that I noticed (I could be wrong) is that you seem to be holding on to something, pulling yourself up once in a while sinds it looks like you are on the shoe, balanced, standing still yet you arn't standing on it straight.

    Other than that, not bad, I've been doing pointe myself for abou 4 months, and my shoes have already diedXD

    Oh and never 'just mess around' its not good if you don't do it seriously every time you stand on point. (teachers words)

  • anyone who is willing- please go check out my pointe videos. I am new to pointe and would love advice and comments!!

  • you have really nice feet :) the only correction i could see is that you should roll a bit more on your big toe? and not towards the back as much....

  • how old were you when you got your pointe shoes?

  • my arches were just like urs. i had to stop pointe cause i got really bad foot spasms, they r terrible!

    i would luv to start up again, but idk, lol

  • wow ! i cant believe you balance so well! i cant even ballance on my fourett( sorry 4-got d spellin)

  • pretty arches!!

  • 2 things (just tips)

    1: you can put some music in it then it's more fun to watch

    2: when you come down like in 0.33/0.34 you can also come down on one foot, it helps strengthen your foot:)

    btw awesome job!

  • I really miss pointe.Good 5th position!

  • nice......*sigh* I wish my pointe shoes where dead, they are brand new and I have to break them in all over again.

    Anyways...Good Job :)

  • at 0:21 you aren't over your leg...like at all

  • Everyone, she said in the discribition the were dead... =/

    Good job, by the way!! Better then my messed up feet. =D

  • omg someone who actually read the description. I could hug you :D

  • omg i was just about to say

    that

    omg

    i love everything about pointe shoes

    im going on them this year cant wait

    LOVE THE 5TH POSITION

  • yeah you have good 5 th position , i dont have soo good 5 th position . :( . but i am working on it ::) .

  • You have really good 5th postion and The relave devont and derrire was awesome! sorry if I spelled the wrong I dont usually study spelling

  • C'est bien mais ça serait encore mieux si on pouvait voir tout ton corps ! Parce que là à un moment on voit ta jambe de travers, tu dois donc certainement te tenir à une table ...

  • I'm getting pointe shoes in early fall and I'm going to be 14 by then. So excited! Does anyone know a good brand to by?

  • you should go get fitted by someone who has experience with it. They'll help you find the best shoes for you.

  • your shoes are dead

  • i know! thats what i thought too!

  • that's what she said in the description. read it.

  • nice arches! I cant find a good supporting shoe that gets a nice arch in my foot. Nice Shows by the way. What kind? And by the good balance.

  • Great job! I really want my pointe shoes so bad! I'm almost ready, though! I'm 10 and I've been dancing for 6 years!

  • great job, but you need new shoes!

  • why new shoes? i think they are perfect for working en pointe

  • they are dead

  • Beautiful! What brand are you wearing in this video?

  • cool... i love my pointe shoes. i got mine in august, and i have arches like yours, too.

    but yeah, i'd suggest you NOT go on your toes in regular shoes... my friend broke her ankle doing that. heh. ^_^'

  • you should definetly roll through the entire show when doing releves (making sure you hit demi pointe before full up intead of up-down) Great arches!

  • good arches! im getting my pointe shoes in march or may! depending if i pass 2 test! i have 2 remember 35 defenitions! and pass a stenghth test...lol! but that was good! any tip for some1 like me?

  • I LOVE how perfect you are!! I WANNA BE YOU!!!

  • you've got high arches just like mine. sometimes it's hard to find a pointe shoe that supports a high arch enough.

    what kind of shoes do you have?

  • Lol, I like that. "Constructive criticism". Well, I have none of that too offer, but all I can say is I can't Wait until I'm en pointe! I'm not there yet, but I'm looking forward to it! :D Good job!

  • ME TOO! I'm starting sometime next week! I'm a little nervous because I don't have my pointe shoes!

  • Lol, kind of hard to go en pointe without pointe shoes don't you think? ;) Well that's cool anyway, and I'm sure you've started by now, because you wrote this a month ago. Hope it's going well!

  • I'm starting this month, I'm awful though pahah. I bet you'll be great! ^_^

  • It sucks! I never started...:(

    I think I might start sometime this or next year!

    This saddens me....

  • It's okay, I thought that I was going to have started by now too, and I haven't. :( But I think I'll be able to maybe during the summer. I hope. I know I will for sure sometime, at some point, someday, so that gives me hope. lol. :) Try and stay hopeful!

  • god i want pointe shoes so bad!!!!!! im not allowed to go ballet :( even though i can go on tip toes for ages without it hurting ( i know your not ment to, and im shore ill get some bad replys on this) but, ive allways been able to do it. x x chloe x x

  • i thinkkk your shoes were a little dead...but other wise your arches were amazinggg..just try to get over your box a little more...sometimes.

  • push the box over a LITTLE bit more, and you could be very good!

  • Wow good job!!!!! You have great arches!!!!

  • wow your really good

  • You're just sickling a bit hun, Work and that and your feet will be flawless!

  • you need new shoes

  • nice!

    you might wanna try bevilling your feet.

  • Great job!

  • Beautiful arches!!! Great work!

  • If anyone has an opinion of what brand of pointe shoes go dead the slowest.

    PLEASE!!!!!!!! MESSAGE ME!!!!!!!!!

  • the type of shoe you have doesn't make you advanced. You choose a shoe based on your foot type and what fits you best.

  • Nice & Clean! You've got a really high arch!

  • that. was. so. clean!

  • Yeah, u have great feet!! :D

  • wow, you have beautiful feet! i just got my first pointe shoes and i am dying to put them on and break them in, but i have to wait for my teacher's ok. i am truly jealous of your feet! i found out that my feet are kind of hard to fit; i'm flat-footed, my foot is compressible, and my second toe is bigger than my big toe.

  • I am extremely flat-footed too! Its like having duck feet, but without the webbing!! I have been taking ballet for years, but my mom absolutely will not let me go on to pointe!!! I think it's ridiculous, because I've always (like ever since I was able to walk) had a knack for naturally going up on my toes, but she's convinced I'll break my ankle because I'm flat footed (which is what the dance teacher lady told her.) UUUUGGGHHHHH!!!! I totally know how you feel.

  • wow old video any new ones up?

  • Try and put your heels all the way down in fifth. and don't sickle your feet. your really good!

  • B.E.A.UTIFUL! you were making it to fith and you were turning from your butt and thighs! You just need a new pair of shoes. what brand are yours?

  • it needs some music

  • THATS VERY TRUE!

  • i just got pointe shoes there gamba.

  • um.there getting to be dead.

  • lol see comment below.

  • looks like your not putting any weight on your shoes (are you holding on to something?).. and the shoes look a bit dead to me

  • i was holding on the wall, but almost all my weight is on my toes. (that's how its supposed to look, light on your feet ;)

    and yes, the shoes are very dead lol

  • lol

    yea they either they were REALLY broken in or REALLY broken

    lol

    =-)

  • WOW!!! Your really good. I go to Peabody Preparetry and I am getting pointe shoes very soon but do you use a theraband or something to strenthen up or ankles? Mine are very strong but my left ankle doesn't go as far forward as I would like it too. help?

  • both of my arches used to be horrible but then i started my pointing to my maximum in each class and now i can get both of feet into a "C" so yeah.

  • really good job! amazing! im getting mine in 2 months soo excited! any pointers?

  • your points are really greate¡¡¡

  • I love playing round with my ponite shoes too don't worrie...lol

  • KNUCKLING! and SICKELING. yuckk.

  • do you read The Clique books? it looks like they are on your shelf. i love the clique

  • lol nope can't say i have :)

  • well i decided that i wanted to learn how to pointe dance, so i bought the shoes, had private lessons from my ballet teacher and im now a minor, so it is possible if you can dance!!

  • these are Capezio Plie II's

  • heyy! what type of pointe shoes are these! they look absolutly beautiful on your feet! great artches!!

  • princess, i have to agree with EveryClichex! U JUST DONT BUY POINTE SHOES!!!! Your teacher has to tell you your ready! If you just buy pointe shoes you can end up hurting yourself! I am 11 and i got my pointe shoes in June. I have take 4 years. 1 years when i was 3. Then a year when i was 8, 9, and 10. This is my fifth year, and even i know that you just dont BUY pointe shoes! JEEPERS KREEPERS!

  • to all of those who asked how long it takes to get on pointe - its whenever you feel you are ready, just buy them and learn! i started when i was 12 but by then i was already grade 6 in ballet so my teacher though i could handle it! and no, it doesnt hurt if you have the right size shoes, know how to use pointes properly and warm up your feet!!!!

    you look good for a first timer, just watch your arches! have you broken in your shoes yet?

  • "its whenever you feel you are ready, just buy them and learn!" SRLSY?! please please please do not listen to her. pointe shoes are not something to mess around with and definitely not something you just go out and buy whenever you feel like it! You must train in ballet for years, and then only when your instructor thinks your strong enough and adivises you to go get fitted, then you should go get them.

  • p.s. first timer?? honey, did you watch the video? my shoes are practically dead. I've probably been dancing for longer than you've been alive...

  • i don't start ballet till january!!!

    i am soooo excited. i took it for two years when i was little, but i didn't have a very great attention span.lol

    how log does it take to get on pointes???

  • iv been on pointe for two years now and i love it

    what make pointe show do you have

  • your soooo good!!!! =D i wish i was on pointe... im in pre-pointe this year.... i might be on pointe by january though... is it fun?

  • very nicee, i've been doing ballet for 10 years now and im still on my soft blocks, i cant wait to get on pointe you made it look very nicee and after watching that i really cant wait! :D

  • i love ur arch!!!! its gorgous!! ((:

    how long have u been on pointe? :D

  • I've been doing ballet for ten years.

    I'm 14 now, and still haven't even touched pointe shoes.

    =P

    They look like so much fun! Do they really hurt THAT bad though?

  • same as you cept I started pointe this year!

    it really hurts sometimes but its really fun!!

    btw this is a really pretty video! your arch is soooo good! :)

  • how long does it take to get on pointes???

  • It doesnt really get based on time its how strong you are and how commited you are to learning it!

    maybe a couple years if your determined about it! good luck! :)

  • yes!!

  • you're really good. =)

    i do pointe too.

  • oh, thankyou! (:

  • uh your welcome? O.o

  • why did you quit dancing?

    you're so good!

  • Very good:)

  • wie lange tanzt du schon?? du bist richtig gut wende deine beine hoch heben kannst,kannstes ja mal bei der osel probieren... ;D

    you´re really good!! how old are you?

    ( srry english is not my language!! ... ;)

  • News flash, you dont need to have defined calf muscles to be a good dancer, and your rude comment was so unnecessary. She has much talent and has worked hard for it. Yes of course there are better dancers out there....they're called PROFESSIONALS. So why don't you get over yourself.

  • honesty is definately better than lying.....but its not a lie when people say she's doing very well. And if you were a dancer than you would know that we work on INNER muscle, you dont necessarily have to have a bulging calf to have good muscle. and she's not showing off, she's just looking for consrtuctive critisicm and thoughts. Thats it.

  • Wow, you're an incredible tool. There is NOTHING wrong with people putting videos of themselves dancing on youtube. It's sometimes called "just for fun". There is NOTHING wrong with a dancer not having defined calf muscles. Oh, and being honest doesn't mean you have the right to be so damn rude. Stop taking out your anger on someone who clearly doesn't deserve it, and pull the stick out of your ass.

  • ROFLMAO. thanks =)

    the way you started off that comment made my day.
