How To Tie Pointe Shoe Ribbons 

I am a beginner who started pointe before quarantine and after all these months I forgot so this is a great refresher for me 😂

I self taught for 2 years before joining a class and my teacher said that my technique looked mostly great (my pirouettes are a bit bad but I knew that) and I had very strong feet. In my old city there was just one point class (in the only ballet school) and the teacher wouldn't allow men, so it was either learn at home or not at all. So I am happy that I did that. I was really careful about it, doing a few months of only bar, stopping when I had an injury (that was from walking down the stairs, I never injured myself while dancing), and always looking at technique. Still needed this video because I just never tucked, because I didn't really have a reason to.

Beautifully done, quick, clear and correct...

I am on pointe!

I don’t do point yet hopefully in the future I will but point shoe ribbons have always confused the heck out of my thanks for putting my mind at ease

Today I have my first pointe class and this was so helpful! Thank you so so much and wish me luck 💕

Whenever I tie my ribbons they're fine in demi pointe but when I go up into full pointe they're way to tight, and when I stand flat they're way too loose -_- I needs help please

I just got pointe shoes and I'm starting pointe today

Thanks for sharing! I'm just getting into pointe work..(don't ask, it'll probably sound weird). A much appreciated contribution on RU-vid.

Great video! The only thing that could change is showing it to us on the other foot as we could not really see the knot side of things

I always have a probelm with my ribbons they the rigght size etc but when it comes to tying them one is bigger than the other and also my ribbons are stiff and hurt sometimes 😢

How do you get them to not slip my ribbons aleays slip down

what do you wear in leg while doing ballet?what's that??😊

Most dancers in my class: sweating cause of how much dancing their doing Me : sweating over ribbon tieing-

Hey my shoes are not flexible r they supost to be i have points😀

Im a dancer. I'm getting my point shoes tommorow! I'm ordering dem

Her: learning pointe is not something that you can do on your own Me: wanna bet I shall come back to this video and edit this comment once I have injured myself

I did thought

How do you tie your pointe shoes if the ribbons are a bit too short?

My daughter is taking point and she is 9!

Your supposed to tie the ribbon on the box of your shoe where you go all the way up on in pointe by doing that the ribbon stays in place instead of it being loose when you get up from tying it flat on the floor

I’m seven years old and I got points shoes so I need to know how to tide them

Bro I'm trying so hard to tie this Pointe ballet shoe and can't do ittttttttt

I wish i could have that ballet shoes but i cannt get it 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😭😭😭😭😭😭

i can teach my self

Well I am teaching my self so it is possible

I think my ribbons are too short for this or I’m just bad with ribbons 😭

😢😢😢im not working im😭😭😭😭

Remember Barbie movies, especially the ballet-themed ones... Barbie's pointe shoes are tied up to the knee(which is wrong).

I have x legs. Help anybody?

My ribbons always come untucked

Tried hours and hours but still not working

jag är en ballerina

Ribbon tape*

Wait a double knot or-

I use hairspray 😂

You know what's weird? The Chinese stores like AliExpress all show the ribbons tied at the back. Like where a back seamed tight would hit the back of your leg. It's so weird but worth knowing if you see cheap pointe shoes online. They are horrible shoes and the shanks seem to made of concrete!! They also sell pointe shoes in lots of different colors and those are also probably a bad idea. So if you're thinking about it? Don't do it!! There are companies with cheaper shoes like Sansha and buying on eBay as less expensive options. So watch out for those shoes, they also come with the ribbons already sewn in which also makes no sense. So please avoid those brands!!

When you realize you have been doing it wrong for a year 😀👍

*pointe

Okay not impressed this didn’t help me at all It’s only cos my tie things weren’t separated

Is it just me or did she go way to fast

Tbh it never helped

Here cause my daughter loves the movie Leap and I bought her her first pair of ballet shoes 🩰 and I wanted to learn how to tie them correctly 😅

Aaaaa IM SO NERVOUS FOR POINTE CLASSES LIKE, my teacher has already said I was ready but IM STILL A LITTLE RELUCTANT BUT OH WELL I DO THINK SO TOO BUT IM JUST SO CONFUSED AND STUFF PROBABLY DUE TO EXCITEMENT SO THANKYOU 🥹🥹🥹
