@BalletTapJazz I've got the same problem as lizziesheard but my ballet teacher said the same as you but it doesn't help. Do you have some other tips?

@TheMazzatron :)

@TheGracefulBallerina Same, I found it really helpful, I have weak ankles anyway and I didn't want to injure them more :)

Thank you! I'm new to pointe and I didn't know how to...

ive never actually burnt the tips of the ribbons, ive just painted them with clear nail polish, the only thing that i never leave for dance class without, excluding dance gear, coz you can use it on pretty mush anything :)

Exactly what I was looking for! Ahh my ankles feel better now.

@primaballerina27 Be careful with that. It tends to cause achilles problems in the long run.

Does anybody know the name of the song played at the beginning? xx

@lizziesheard That happens to many dancers at my studio also. Make sure you have your foot fully flexed when you tie them, because that is when your ankles are the largest. Most girls make the mistake of tying them while pointing the foot, and then when they stand on flat it becomes baggy.
wow! thank you soooooo much for this video! i've been struggling for a while, trying to not let my ribbons billow out around my ankle after dancing for a few minutes; but i tried this technique of tying the ribbons and it works perfectly!! THANK YOU!!!!
