Just beautiful! It's a very special moment the first time you releve on pointe shoes. ;) I've watch some of your other videos and you are improving so quickly! You will get to ABT; just keep it up! I stopped training at 14 due to highschool and wanting to try other things. As an adult, I rediscovered Oriental dance, fell in love/obsession, and now dance professionally (as a side job; it's actually much harder to make a living at it than ballet). So, DON'T STOP TRAINING. ;)

I love Ballet =D

I wish I could go to ballet classes, but I just can't =( Money doesn't let me...

A year ago, when I was 17, I just went like a month to a class, it was great, I was with 11 to 13 years old girls, but I didn't mind...BUT!...Money made me stop =(

If someday I'm able to dance at least just in classes, I will do it =) Even if I'm 30 =) I don't care =)

@Asteriiaz you are old enough try an adult beginner class you can pay drop in and only go when you can ;)

I remeber my first class in pointe like it was yesterday :)

[SimpleLu09]

Did it hurt when you first started?

[Jakathera]

It's a brutal sport. I'm glad I never continued dancing beyond age 4.  I love watching it, but after meeting some dancers and the hard life they lead, I just can't appreciate it like I used to.
