oh. my. god. this is my first time watching you and i fell in love with your channel!!!!! you deserve better subs, no i meant more subs XD keep it up!!!!!!!! by the way love your hair!
I have a question, i’ve been dancing since i was 2 and now i’m 11 so for 9 years now but it wasn’t all ballet straight, i’ve done lyrical a lot, i’ve done jazz a lot, ballet for like 3 years, and tap and hip hop, so i have quite a lot of experience with dance, but only 3 years of it was ballet and it was from when i was little, how many years do you think i would have to do ballet to be able to do point?
@@juliet1706 it typically can take 3-4 years to build the right strength, with no year long breaks in between. but it really just depends on the person! :)
@@meg_manalo I love this video, I'm a starter in ballet and I enjoy it so much! Could you make a vid on how to add the elastics and ribbons? Im just curious X ,
So I just got my pointe shoes if you are starting from a class for like preschoolers it will probably be like 5 to 7 years probably it took a long while to get them because you have to be quite advanced to be able to get them and your teacher will let you know when you can get them and it depends where you go to for ballet to see around how long it takes for you to get them but thats how long it should be and if you start ballet from being young you will start to be able to get them by 5th grade unless you already passed 5th grade already and you are starting now so around 5 years to 7 I would say is how long it takes
I actually can’t wait to get cleared for pointe shoes ahhhh!!! I haven’t been back in the studio since March because of COVID, so I’m so excited to go back next year!
I’m 12- I got my first pair of pointe shoes like a month after this video was postedddd and I got Bloch European balance size 4 and I was shook when you said you got 4 1/2 and your street size is 7??? :o Bc my size is 4?? But like yeah alsooo where are you from??
@@meg_manalo omg u replied i acutually was a 5yr old dancer now im a really good ballerina but never had real ballet class they say other ppl can be better than those ppl who train but have no passion for it but i have passion so i believe that one day i can be the greatest at it.
If anyone is wonderig when they will go on pointe talk to your teacher! It helps with every sport / dance asking questions I did bjj for 3 years im still doing it but they recently shut down so im startig ballet lol anyway i was super curious when id get my first stripe (a promotion) and i got it after 5 months! When i started going to the beginner classes i less than 2 weeks my teacher had already moved me to the advanced! while some of those kids took years to get into advanced or evetually quit after around another month of training in the advanced i was invited for competition class which is the hardest class and only advanced or competition people are allowed to compete in tournaments so yeah! It all depends.
I’ve done dance since I was two years old and this year will be my ninth years dancing ! I’ve done ballet and tap since I was two and I’m doing ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, and hip hop this year and I believe I’m going on pointe next year!
Hi! My first year was great:) My classmates were all really supportive and helped me feel comfortable in class, my teacher too, so I was able to learn a lot! I still have a ton more learning to do, but I'm genuinely excited to be continuing ballet (even though it frightens me sometimes HAHAHA). Congratulations on your going on pointe this year!!
Getting my pointe soon !! :D Its my late xmas present from my dad bc hes in working in Russia atm im so excited thooo !! - I have already got professionally fitted btw !
hi!! Ballet is going really well for me:) My love for it reignites every time I'm in the studio. Ballet exams can be nerve-wracking, but I believe in you! You got this!💘

In my case, I had only done ballet for a few months when I was cleared for pointe (for context, I started when I was 13). I really can't say how long you'll need to do ballet before you get pointe shoes because it all really depends on your strength and on when your teacher feels that you are ready to go on pointe, but I thought I'd just let you know how it went for me:) I wish you luck though!! I'm a bit jealous of your dance experience HAHAHA
i usually go back and forth between Russian pointe (in encore) and Bloch synthesis (major differences lol) and I LOVE cozy toes in both kinds of shoes. my left big toe gets the most pressure so I really need a good toe pad especially during nutcracker lol
I am a dancer too and I just got my pointe shoes a few weeks ago and they were not too bad when you go to the store to get them it feels good and doesn't hurt that much but when you start to take pointe class then you can start to feel the pain for me it isnt that bad so far but that might be because I only wear it for like 30 minutes a day in a week but i do have friends who just started with me and for her she says it hurts soooooo bad and she didn't really like to wear them so i guess it depends how strong , advanced, and sensitive your feet are to see if they hurt of not but i think they should feel good. Also the big toe is where all your pressure should be so that should be the only toe that hurts a lot and other than that your feet just feel like they are pointing inside of your shoe with your big toes with all the pressure of your body so thats how much I can explain it to you so hopefully this is helpful!
If you want to, go for it!! I was scared too at first, sometimes I still get a bit nervous. But it's all a learning process, and I do encourage you to try it out:)
Im exited because one of my teacher said by next summer ill probably have pointe shoes! by then ill be 11 and it will be my 9th year dancing. i have very flexible ankles and they get sprained alot and i also get shin splints alot does anyone have any tips on how to stop that?
to stop spraining, wear supports, see a doctor and DO 👏 NOT 👏 STRAIN 👏 them! Don’t over work them, do not work too fast and take it slow. You’re only 10/11, so your joints, muscles AND ligaments are still developing. Make sure to warm up for 10 minutes correctly, so you feel a light stretch. And drink water!! And get those correct nutrients!! If you’re constantly eating unhealthy (too little too much etc), that’s not helping either. And don’t dance through the pain! If you’re sore, you physically CANNOT continue. Do not take ‘no’ for an answer otherwise it will delay your opportunity to be en pointe.
Im going on pointe pretty soon and my toes are kinda weird because I’m the only one in my family who can like spread out their toes, and I’m talking like two cm far apart so idk if that’ll be an advantage or disadvantage
I assume advantage! I learned good toe mobility helps with stability, and proper arching of the feet. If you’ve been on pointe for some time now, what was your experience?
suffolk isn’t a weird brand, it’s common af! I hate capezio sm, although I don’t have suffolk I have used them and they were pretty good! (I use bloch rn for reference 😭 I have to, they’re pretty uncomfortable but it’s school requirements)
@@meg_manalo YEAH and idk why 😭 my schools a small school with at most 30 students and we don’t have to wear leotards or anything it’s just the pointe shoes that are required to be Bloch!!
@@iwatchytwhenimbored1636 I know I been to ballet class before and I can stand on my toes for a while and even though it's tough I would do it no matter what even if I have to kill myself for it
Hii ik this is suppperrr late haha but i was wondering if anyone knew what (ballet)grade you normally get pointe shoes in cos im going into grade 5 in 2 weeks and i was just curious haha xx
It’s different for every studio, but you can go en pointe if you started at a young age, you’ll go on from age 9-12, if you started late, you’ll go on 13-15. I hope this helped! ☺️
