I appreciate that you took feedback from one of your previous videos requesting to have the dancers put on their shoes and dance to put everything in motion :) Your efforts do not go unnoticed!

Sound quality 😖 oof!

Oh god, the sound quality (or lack thereof) 😳😖

God, I live for that new shoe CRONCH sound :)

Emily is a phenomenal dancer! So happy to see her featured!!!

A teacher who was former Royal Ballet taught us her hack, to use a vegetable peeler on the sides of the shank to shave them down. Safer than an exacto knife.

Do you think you could show close ups of the shoe when they explain darning or gluing and stuff like that? I can’t tell what they mean without seeing it 😅

I just got my first pair of pointe shoes and I get to dance In them on Monday I’m so exited 💖and I also love you videos

So happy for all your success Emily!

All these terms never heard before: * profile * box * hard shoe * soft shoe * darning shoes * getting over * platform * pointe * shank * Quite a different world.

Beautiful! Thanks! #boxcutterlol Also re: adding to or extending the vamp, I've seen some dancers insert a very wide strip of elastic right in there, same purpose/result. There's always something new to learn, and these videos are AWESOME!

In eleven months I get to go on pointe shoes I'm very excited because it's my dream to go on pointe shoes and I love your videos I watch them all the time 😋

Love these!!!

Ever since you had highlighted the fitting of Luna Montana, I've enjoyed following her.

Thank you.

Love the line "Arts and Craft". Mentioned below is a good observation, sometimes the wording doesn't make sense while explaining. A close-up for these hacks would be most important.

Love this video! Do you have any tips or tricks for pointe shoes with very mobile ligaments in the ankles? I tend to roll my ankles on pointe often even though I strengthen them daily. Thank you!

Omg I freaked!! My dance teacher told my class that you are coming to our studio for pointe shoe fittings!! I will be getting my first pair! My class mates were wondering if you will be bringing colored toe pads, and mesh bags!!?💕

I also have a low profile foot! Now that I have been dancing pointe for several years and strengthened my foot and technique I want to start finding a shoe that looks aesthetically pleasing. Cause my shoe definitely kind of swallows my foot 😂

This girl was sugarplum fairy at my studios nutcracker! She is also teaching our summer intensives

Is that size 10 crochet cotton she's using?

What is the issue when you always have major pressure/pain on your big toe no matter the brand and everything else fits right? Can you do a video on this?

I've been dancing with a tapered box, it's one particular shoe, for several years off and on and they recently started putting a lot of pressure on my left pinkie toe. I tend to sink in square boxes, which bruises my big toe. Any thoughts?

Do you have any hacks for 3/4ing Russian pointes? I really like the rubins but I don't want the felt platform that comes with the Rubin radiances. Any tips would be much appreciated!

I have 3 feet and 1 of them faces 180 degrees in the opposite direction of the other 2. It's always pain to have to buy 2 pairs instead of just 1.5 pairs because the 4th shoe never gets worn as much as the other 3. But I do keep it as a backup, which is a good thing. 🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻

I dance en pointe for my first time this weekend and I am terrified that I am going to fall. Any tips?

So I’m almost going to college, but I don’t see myself getting pointe shoes before I go. Can I still get my first pair as an adult? Because I love ballet, I’m semi gifted, but I am not ready for pointe yet.

How are all the dancers so lovely 😊

I am planning on going to The Pointe Shop sometime in November (it’s a little over an hour from where I live), but in the mean-time, can anyone verify that softer pointe shoes can injure the Achilles’ tendon ? My first pair of pointe shoes were Bloch European Balances with extra strong shanks and I felt very supported in them, but had an issue with sinking after a couple of months. Switched to Grishko Novas with medium shanks and the shoes feel too soft and my achilles hurt constantly. I did injure my left Achilles when I was teen (late 30s now), so maybe some of the pain is from that, but just wondering if anyone else has experience with this ? Should I ask for stronger shanks from now on ?

This could be very confusing for first-timers, but don’t worry! You will learn everything with time!

Kevlar gloves people! That’ll protect hands from xacto knives.

Girl what's up with the sound in the video 😫

Did/do you ever dance yourself?

Love this, but I had to watch with no sound & captions. Oof

If I was a dancer I swear my ocd would not let me cut up my brand new shoes like that. Obviously it needs to happen but eeeeek it makes me cringe. How do you figure out what you need to do to make your shoes comfy? I mean how does one determine one foot needs one thing and the other is totally different, I know it doesn’t look that different but it is. Do you just go through multiple shoes figuring it out?

Uff the quality 😳😬😬

What a pain in the rear end to have to darn each pair. I’d pay someone to do it! Lol why don’t they make them special that way?

The sound isn’t that great

rip the sound quality 😭😭🤕

Can you do a darning tutorial ?

First!

Wouldnt a potato peeler work and be MUCH safer? I had anxiety watching her cut, your hand was so close. Don’t hurt your lovely hands!!!

She is actually creating what is called colonial knot when darning.

The auto 😬

Couldn’t get through this video because of the sound. Shame because I love these videos

All that work, and she hasn't even started dancing yet.

I'm 47 and I want to start with pointe work before I learn the basics especially as I plan to go professional, I'm good at disco so I have a good grounding

Why does the quality get worse and worse everytime?
