Thanks. Her shank broke 40 seconds into the dance, right after the piques.

@x1emu1x the shank is part of a shoe underneath your arch that supports you. if it breaks you have very little support on pointe.

It's so nice to see how far Chelsea has come in dance. I'm so glad you posted the videos of her dancing. The last time I saw her dance was almost four years ago when I was still with ADA.

Ok now this is what I call a PROFESSIONAL ballet dance,not like that stupid Numa Numa ec pointe dance,all that dance does is just make fun of ballet and pointe!
