Hi i'm a student at the Royal Ballet and as i am experienced i would say: not bad considering it is your first time on pointe, just be careful when you're going onto pointe that you roll through you're demi-pointe.You have potential. Maybe one-day you'll get a scholarship. The best begginer i've ever seen and by the way... good choice of shoes!

@apotata Actually the advice that you gave is the exact opposite of the truth. Breaking them in with your hands bends the shank in places that your actual arch doesn't bend which causes you to dance in them incorrectly therefore leading to injury. Please know what you are talking about before you give advice because it could really hurt someone, especially a dancer who is new to pointe. Thanks

@missrabbitgirl2 there probably brand new

i have grishko 2007s too, and how hard r they? bcause i have them too and they are a very professinal shoe. you should be very good at pointe and have very high arches to be in those shoes. you should post a video of your arches bcause u shouldnt have grishko shoes if u dont have high arches. i have a medium shank and even those break esily 4 me!
good luck with your grishkos cause there amazinggg!!!!

Break them in and you'll be just fine. Really good for a first time. You are doing a really good job on staying over your boxes : )

i really think you should break them in before you do anything! it made my first time on point a lot easier!

r they nt broken in yet ?
Not bad, I would say don't be afraid to really beat on the shoes to make them comfortable. If you don't work them in with your hands you will end up dancing in them incorrectly. That can put you at risk of injury as well as break your shoes in wrong and you will have to get new ones sooner. Also be direct in your movement when you go onto pointe. You tend to crawl up instead of getting to your full arch extension right away. That will make you stronger & more controlled on pointe.
