Dear Lauren Cuthbertson, This is me writing you from heaven because I literally just died and went there after watching this marvelous performance. Also, that set of chaines was sublime; your spotting technique was even a wonder to watch(seriously I have never seen such beautiful spotting) ....Anyway, thank you for slaying me in the best possible way!

It's so cool to finally see a video of a dancers feet and the reality of what a dancer must endure. As a ballet dancer myself at one time my feet sustained many injuries and I didn't feel I would dance again either. It's nice to see her recovery and ability to dance through the pain. I must learn how to dance through the pain even though I don't do pointe anymore. I'm inspired to try it again. 😍

just watched some "Halloween-glam-fashion for art-school-students" on another Nowness vid,and this just came as a very positive break from that. Dont wanna put dance up against fashion,just reconized,that it pleased me more to see some harmonic movement instead of "controversial"fashion. the hungry soul take what it needs! thanx for this one.

I think subconsciously the audience knows the pain. It's the hope that drives the audience to watch and listen. The hope that we have the ability to overcome the pain (like the dancer on stage) to become a more beautiful human - physically and mentally.

Beautiful feet, extremely well conditioned 0:42, 0:51. Are all ballerinas' feet like this? What type of ballet? it doesn't look like classical. It would be interesting to learn it. Are there any online classes of this type?
@Jeri332
@Jeri332 8 жыл бұрын
+eastcastle g (eastcastle007) It's contemporary ballet. So basically the technique is the same as classical ballet, but the movements are structured differently. For example not all movements are turned out at the hips, and arm movements are a lot more flexible, whereas classical ballet arm movements all stem from the structured basics of 1st through to 5th position. And about the feet, she has a very high instep, so the bridge of her foot is high and arched. It's aesthetically beautiful, but requires a lot of strengthening to avoid injury.

@carinastop 8 жыл бұрын
+alice smithy Ouch-Pouches are basically little foam cut outs that dancers put on their toes during pointe. it's so you don't damage your toes. more professional ballerinas don't use them because they train themselves not to rely on the extra protection, and because they got some strong ass feet. I've only done pointe for three years and I still use them -the studio I attend enforces them because we're beginners. but I do know of some pointe teachers that don't want students using them, again so they don't rely on the extra protection. I find it amazing how this women is able to do all she does without them, only because I can't, but at the same time I know what your toes feel like after going on pointe even with an Ouch-Pouch, so I'm just imagining the pain her feet are in. hope that answered your question :}

Carina stap yes thank you its really interesting, I used to want to be a ballerina as a kid but was never put in lessons but its probably a good job because while I am flexible I am to curvy which I know is not good for ballet, it happened to a friend of mine where her boobs and ass got to big and she was told to quit
@carinastop
@carinastop 8 жыл бұрын
+alice smithy the downside to being a professional ballerina is that you have to be tiny. if I wanted to do that, I probably would be let in due to my body shape -boobs and butt- and that happened to a girl at our studio. she tried out for the National Ballet of Canada, and she was told her measurements were too big. Beautiful dancer who teaches at our studio now, but her bust was too big. the world of dance is an interesting place really
