can i ask a question? Can you show me what the inside of a pointe shoe looks like, I am going en pointe soon. I was wondering if it was like just a block of wood, or there was like a dip where the toes go? Thanks

[oliviainyourpants]

Sure! I believe I can do a pointe shoe anatomy video tomorrow!

when you make a knot

what happens if u cant untie it?

:S

sorry im just starting up in ballet

lol

;D

[oliviainyourpants]

Haha, well, if you really can't untie it, I guess you'd have no choice but to cut it and get a new ribbon.

how come you put your toe pads inside your tights when other pple put it outside of them?

[oliviainyourpants]

Because otherwise my toe pads slip around and I like them to stay in place. There are other people that do the same.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I can't tell you how many times i keep telling people on youtube..."Don't go en pointe unless your dance teacher tells you that you can!" and they still post videos of them going en pointe without a teacher's permission....it drives me crazy! But I'm glad someone is taking the initiative to post a video telling people the dos/don'ts of pointe.

I'm just fine en pointe &I've been DANCING for three years...

Been doing ballet for two years in about a month &a half, and I've been en pointe for about two months...

Most people say two years before, but it's good to have three(:

The elastic on your ribbons should be at the shoe not the knot end of the ribbon

sewing your elastics or ribbons should be according to your feet. You can't tell someone where they go because you don't know where other people's feet look like. more so you should've said sew the ribbons at the highest point of you arch in the shoe.

[kawaiipapillon]

you elastics should be farther back and no padding is okay too.

[xBallet4Evax]

lol at your lisp

[IssaKivilaakso]

your archs!!

oh god

[ZanehRAEballetROCKS]

i can never tell the difference between left and right pointe so i wrote left and right on the outside but now i see i really should have done it on the inside BTW this is a good vid :DDD if ur wondering i am blond ;)

[dancemusicjesus]

I agree that people should not go on pointe without an instructors consent. You could totally break your ankle or ruin your feet forever! I have been on pointe for a pretty long time and I have seen so many people get injured. Please be careful because it is so fun!
