  • I wouldnt do echapes just yet. I think for now you need to stick to relevees, and rises and make sure your can balance on those. When you do your echappes your knees are a tiny bit bent, never bend knees when going en pointe. Overall the shoe looks nice on your feet, i think you picked a good shoe, but when rising always go from demi pointe to full pointe so you can work your feet properly. but overall for 2 weeks thats really good. i am actually impressed!! well done, keep up good work!

  • You are not going up on pointe fully, you are putting weight at the back of the box, I noticed you did the is at the beginning if the vid. Also the crown if the shoe seems a little high, you might want to try putting in a toe pad to fill it in a little, but it's best to see the advice of your techer and pointe shoe fitter.

  • @icecreamgirl1230 Uhm, TONS of people go on pointe at home. Its not bad, It's actually recommended at many studios. There are LOTS of videos on pointe at home; It's not bad
