I'm enjoying how much Molly Searcy enjoys her job! I'm also very glad that a little time was taken to point out that men generally don't dance en pointe. It's a common misconception that they do.

Aves Raggiana yeah on a lot of pointe shoe videos they use 'her shoes' or 'the women's shoes' and a lot of comments are about it being sexist bitten just don't go en pointe

It's not never to late to start taking ballet lessons. If your goal is a professional career in ballet that might be a different matter. It will depend on your abilitiy and raw talent. Misty Copeland started at 13. Evelyn Hart at 14 so it is possible. It's not that common however...but it is possible. It will all depend on you. Pointe work is not for everyone. There is much more to ballet than pointe work...and because you are on pointe or not does not mean a lot. I've seen many teachers putting people of all ages on pointe only because the students insisted....most qualified teachers with any credentials are very reluctant to put students on pointe. You can put anyone in pointe shoes...and make them stand on their toes. That won't make them a ballerina.

Anacats4life there's nothing like too late, specially If it's a hobby. I know many girls who started at 18 and are nowadays dancing on pointe. Of course they wish they have entered earlier, but 11 is one of the best ages - it's when your body is more is as flexible as it can be and you're more councious of yourself. ;)

@ArtisticAsian1014
@ArtisticAsian1014 8 жыл бұрын
+Zephie lovet I don't know if I am correct in saying this but from what I understand...you have compressible feet if your toes/bones/foot in general move to fit the shoe it is in aka your foot molds into what shoe it is in. Meaning the bones or area before the toes can squish and become more narrow. If you don't have compressible feet it means your foot is set in one shape and is resisting any attempt to reshape it.

Mathilde Espinosa you can try. I started dancing at fourteen and ballet at fifteen and I just started out on pointe recently (I'm 16). My old street dance teacher started dancing really late too and was asked for the national ballet in my country (she said no though, but it is still cool) You just gotta be lucky with your turn-out (since you can still improve but not as much as someone who is younger). And if you cannot do ballet as a professional, you could try modern dance. It's close to ballet, but much more loose and way less strict. I've literally had ballet technique exercises in my modern class XD. Maybe try taking as many ballet classes as you can (since you prefer to do this) in combination with one modern class. If you do that you have some basic modern experience and something to fall back to, if you wanna be a professional dancer but ballet isn't working out :)

Niamh Faulkner Very. They don't tip-toe around (weight on the balls of feet) but literally on tips of their toes. That's intense pressure, so professionals can lose toenails, get fractures, and intense bruising. Men tend to have muscular and ankle injuries since the stain comes more from jumping and lifting.

It depends on the intensity of the pointe work (how long you are on pointe at a time, pain tolerance, shoe fit and padding, shoe quality (how worn out it is)) it’s painful for long amounts of time but if I have a sturdy shank and the box is not worn out, I personally am more comfortable in pointe shoes than I am in high heels and I have worn heels longer than I have worn pointe shoes (8 years of heels 6 months of pointe)

After watching about 15 ballet videos, I'm convinced that all this attention to detail (especially with the tutu) is not especially necessary. Of course, it's different with pointe shoes. But if they were honest about it, who actually gets THAT close to see that there are 13 rather than 15 layers to the tutu, and 31 crystals and not 29. The ONLY people who would know or care are the dancers and the person who is producing the ballet. The audience cannot see the detail to which she is referring. It is money not very well-spent, in my humble opinion.
