In this video I will show you a couple of ways to sew your elastics
the criss cross and the loop around the ankle. I have tried them both, each method are very valid, again, it always depends from your shoe, ankle and strength. I personally prefer the criss cross option as it gives me extra support on the shoe.
There a various ways a dancer prepares her shoes. The more you dance the more personal a pointe shoe becomes. From sewing ribbons to breaking them in.
Ribbons are very personal too , more forward, back, more angled, less angled , everyone has got a different ritual.
There are different types of ribbons too nowadays , I absolutely love the ones with the elastic in the middle.
They didn't exist when I started ballet. When I discovered them they changed my life and help me out with a chronic ankle injury that I had for the past 10 years. The ribbons are strong but they have a give, which helps a great deal with the natural movement of the ankle and activation of the right muscle without restraining too much.
Have Fun!
