So glad you mention overstretching and snapping back in hyperextension :)

Could you please make a video on buying pointe shoes online, I’ve seen a lot of girls doing it lately

Omg 😱 I had no idea that curling the toes is bad. You are so right! I tried it out immediately with the „long toes“ and my balance was so much better! No one ever told me 😫 Thank you!!

I have hyperextension and if my legs are straight it feels like I'm bending them so I can never tell if I'm in a full plie😬

I have a huge hyperextention and lots of flexibility. But now it's time to start taking stretch class and Pilates!

I'm very hyperextendable in my knees, elbows, and hips. I'm not a ballet dancer but i can attest to the damage it does. I have problems with both my knees and hips and I'm only 28. I'm also incapable of holding my weight on one arm because I set my arm in a hyperextended position which causes a lot of pain in my elbow (I'm not strong enough to bend my arm slightly to hold my weight). Which makes yoga difficult. But I'm still going with it because I hope to strengthen those joints with careful exercise.

Your videos are so great. Your information is always concise and clear. And RIGHT. I love that you address injury prevention regularly.

I love this video omg ♥️♥️♥️ so real and actually helpful!!!

This video was really helpful!

I have extremely hyperextended legs and it’s really hard for me to do tendus and things on one leg for some reason

My ankles push over in pointe shoes a lot cause I have high arches, so balancing en pointe is difficult for me so if I have to balance for I awhile I eventually go down and roll my ankles some times. Also I have hypertension and I hate it!! It’s so hard to do fast foot work at barre with it!! Definitely will take the tips!!

Do you know where I could get a gym routine for ballet dancers? Thank you.

I am happy from the beginning I understood that a dancer needs a good balance of flexibility and strength. Your muscles need to be able to stretch but also support the rest of your body.

My left feet is strong but right feet is a little crooked and not strong. .what should i do?

Has she danced before?

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. X

Can I get pointe shoes if I’m self taught

Can I take ballet classes once a week for three years and then get my first pair of pointe shoes? 🩰

I'm a dancer I have point shoes

Interesting content, but the camera work (watching the speaker from the side) is awful. Maybe once, but over & over & over?? Really uncomfortable to watch.

"ballet may get more injuries than any other sports" um? how about horse riding etc

LOL not the most dangerous. Have you ever looked at horse riding, we are riding with something that has a mind of its own. Like jumping that's so dangerous but I don't really care. I have been thrown off about 10 times though

Please don't refer to ballet dancers as "athletes". It's diminishing to the art form.
