I love the fact that they kept the pointe shoes a focal part of the video. Not the dancers,

i just think it’s insane that these dancers could be in these shoes for up to 8 hours. my longest rehearsal en pointe was 2 and half hours and i thought my feet were gonna fall off. SO MUCH RESPECT

@persefonikirli8112 4 жыл бұрын

I have to tell you. (I am 4 years in pointes). You will get used to it! It's really easy after a year or so, but remember to change your pointe shoes at least every year because if you don't it will maybe cause you lots of hurting and it is also really difficult to get on pointe with old shoes 💛

Most people who saying that are being ironic, and/or funny. It's like the comments "am I the only English comment here" on a non-English video. Not like they are ragging on the video or anything just usually making conversation or an observation. Most of the time they aren't being negative, so don't see a reason to react negatively to those comments.

dont know why im so addicted to videos of ballerinas customizing their pointe shoes. I think it's because 1) they're filmed in a very aesthetically pleasing way 2) the ballerinas' actions seem elegant even when they're basically "destroying" the shoe lol 3) Its amazing to think they go through all this trouble constantly since appaently professionals have to replace them with new ones after one or two shows and repeat the process again.
