Demi Pointe in New Gaynor Minden Pointe Shoes

Me trying to roll through demi pointe in my new Gaynor Minden pointe shoes, I recorded this only to see if the shoes complemented my feet. RIBBONS AND ELASTICS ARE ATTACHED NOW! (see other videos).

I've only been on pointe for a few months, so please be nice!

My daughter had to change to capezzio because she culdn't made the demi pointe, how long until she can soften the gaynor ,the bag is green

never, gaynors cannot be broken into soft pointe shoes, especially not the green ones because they are hard.

is demi pointe tha same as pointe.. does it really take three years

[viklovinthorpe]

for demi pointe you don't go up onto pointe, you just wear dead pointe shoes or soft blocked shoes to get used to dancing in them as opposed to canvas slippers. However, in this video i was wearing pointe shoes, and just trying to go through the demi pointe position, on the way to full pointe (which I could do because these are pointe shoes, not soft pointe shoes). In my classes, once we got pointe shoes we didn't wear slippers any more, just soft pointe shoes

[zenchick111]

are these pointe shoes or demi-pointe shoes

[viklovinthorpe]

pointe shoes, im just trying to show the demipointe position because I wasn't too happy with it in these shoes

what shank is this?

[AmyKim0214]

@amamgarden i dont really like bloch pointes ;p ughh.

[AmyKim0214]

@uva690 your daughter probballly need to get a softer shank, green is the hardest shank they have, so it depends on your daughter's ankle streghts, so need to be changed to either pink or yellow and even softer shanks.

i wish i had the chance to do ballet. i love pointe. i think i would have been really good at it. my foot is super flexible. without training it at all i have an amazing floorpoint. i guess just a nice arch. *sigh. o well

[balletmarionette]

I think i'll change my pointe shoes for gaynors. They're sooo pretty! >_<

You are so skinny! And look amaizing in them! Great job!

[dancingstarrjilly]

i disagree with your comment - hard shanked gaynors do soften. I get new pairs every few months because I have strong feet and the Gaynors soften to the point where I can fold them in half. I break the softer shanked ones in even less time... however compared to the couple of days it took to soften my Bloch and Sansha's.. i'm very happy with the Gaynors!

[RhiannonStar2]

Your feet are beautiful!

[amamgarden]

@lupi94 yeah I also like bloch a lot!

[MrTwilight321]

@uva690 Just buy gaynors with a softer shank. This will solve your problem instantly.
