Try not to do these hacks if you're a beginner (mainly the first one!!) but once you are more comfortable, confident and used to your pointe shoes..... go ahead, don't rush yourself if you are new to pointe shoes!!!!

@brookebowers3529 7 лет назад

they are such a gift of accomplishment and proud in pink satin! PLEASE RE check out these classes -they can be harder than a rugby match on your body , but your body becomes art.re..MemEBER THIS IS AN ART FOR MALES AND FEMALES and a tough one so fellas and pardon this wonky keyboard!

@toowoombaballettheatre 7 лет назад

Agreed. These tips are not great for beginners en pointe, and are more so aimed for dancers who are pre professional or above.

@AudreeAdam 7 лет назад

I wish she'd said that... I saw so many girls with a 3/4 shank when they can't even stand in their shoes. That's why all the shoes stay at the studio now....

@jessreiher9999 5 лет назад

BEGINNERS! Please DO NOT attempt to pre-break (or do too much crazy stuff) for at least your first pair of pointe shoes. You must go into wearing them completely raw and break them in naturally! Then once you have had a few pairs you can develop techniques for breaking them in that work for you, and unless you are dancing at a high level you may not have to pre-break them much at all (because it is likely you won't be performing with a brand new pair of shoes). Naturally breaking them in is the best way to go about it (especially since pointe shoes are so expensive and pre-breaking means they don't last as long), and if later on you find bending them slightly and standing on the box is helpful then go for it!

@chloelundgren1902 4 года назад

@moriokayuri 4 года назад

@@jmsemmett if you're not a beginner you don't really have to, but if you are a begginer you have to go the natural way in order to build strengh and learn how your feet behave in pointe, these pointe shoe hacks are for professionals or senior pointe users because not everybody breaks the Shank the same way, you might even have one foot that breaks higher than the other, also, the jetglue use needs a lot of knowledge of were your shoe dies first or were you need more support, that's why you can't do that without having tones of experience.

@JaneyMay99 7 лет назад

Question: why don't pointe shoe makers make shoes with some of these life hacks already built in? I realise every dancer and every foot is different, but it seems to me that things like shaving down the base of the sole, removing the satin from the toe and providing additional cross marks to improve grip could help almost everyone? Even principal dancers, who have custom-made shoes, seem to spend loads of time "destroying" their custom-made shoes before they're fit for purpose. Why is this?

@veronika.ballet 7 лет назад

JaneyMay99 try Gaynors... 😉

@JaneyMay99 7 лет назад

dance2felina, thanks. 👍🏻 I realise Gaynors are a little different from this. Perhaps they're an example of the future? But not everyone likes them, do they? It's really just a general question. Pointe shoes haven't changed much (if at all) in decades/centuries, they're very expensive, and yet they don't arrive suitable to dance in immediately and they have a short life. Despite the unique and clever craftsmanship it takes to make pointe shoes, dancers immediately have to rip them apart, bash them, soak them in chemicals and cut bits off them before they are deemed dance worthy. It honestly puzzles me that a clever engineer hasn't worked closely with a foot specialist and a dance physiotherapist to design something much more durable and ready-to-wear, which immediately provides great support to dancers and looks beautiful without dancers having to tear apart a brand new pair of shoes. Imagine a painter buying a brand new paint brush but having to bash it, cut it up and soak it in shellac before usage. 🤣

@baileym8702 7 лет назад

totally agree!

@ultravioletspirit 7 лет назад

JaneyMay99 Gaynor Minden has the new technology. super soft, and ready only the matte effect would have to be done. the problem is that the fitting is not always the best, it took me at least 100 pairs of shoes of different brands to get to my perfect pair: repetto la carlotta in 5 1/2 medium. and I still have to cut the shank to 3/4 , step on the box to extend the wings, bang to make quiet, and shave the sole edges... 😥

@ultravioletspirit 7 лет назад

JaneyMay99 but I yet have to get a good fitting pair of Gaynors. I think that now that I know what works for me I can bring my repetto and get a good Gaynor that fits.

@ClaudiaDeanWorld 7 лет назад

Hi Dancers! I just wanted to say Thankyou SO SO much for all your support on this video so far. However, I did notice a few comments about when I refer to 'wood' being in a pointe shoe. When I film, it's obviously unscripted and I must have said this mistakenly. When I watched the final version of the video once my videographer had sent it through , I noticed this (along with a few other things) and decided to not get my videographer to edit it out. My content is real, raw & I accidentally said this instead of saying the layers of fabric/glue. Apologies! Honest mistake but thanks again for all of the LOVE you all give me when I upload! Happy dancing ❤❤

@kelseamarie 7 лет назад

I don't know how I got to this side of RU-vid, I'm not a dancer of any kind.. however, after watching several videos, I'm amazed of the relationship these girls have with their shoes, even if they have them for a short time before they need a new pair. They basically destroy them, but in a way that perfectly enables them to be the best they can. So cool.

When I was in classes, I moved away and can't go to my studio at the moment or I'd be going back, but i used gaynor as well, they worked so well for me, i didn't have to work as hard to the get the arch broken in as much and had such a smooth look to them. But everyone else in my studio didn't enjoy pointers as much as i did. So i always did the pointe solos for the studio and always went with people when they were getting their first pair

@alimaddison5594 7 лет назад

Hi Claudia, I was just wondering- what would the longevity of your shoe be like if you only did 1-2 pointe classes a week (and you applied all these hacks)? I'm only asking because I know with the Royal Ballet you would have had a new shoe/new shoes each day, whereas I can only afford to buy them every so often. How many wears do you think I could get out of a shoe after cutting/shellacing/glueing etc?

@daffo595 7 лет назад

Is a 3 quarter shank really a good thing? Isn't that highly dependant on the individual's foot? Also I feel like the last hack is an invitation for getting blisters

@amandanance919 7 лет назад

Daph Duck Generally, I've heard that you shouldn't 3 quarter your shoes if you're a beginner because it requires more strength. However, I've heard of many more experienced dancers cutting their shanks because it makes their foot look more archy. I think that as long as you cut it where your arch is, then it will look fine.

@Tintenfischchen 7 лет назад

Yeah, almost all teachers and professionals I talked to said that you shouldn't 3 quarter your pointe shoes as a beginner. After a few years of experience, you can try it out and see if it helps you or not.

@poketvenus 7 лет назад

Daph Duck most teachers want you to break your shoes in with hard work. cutting the shank makes it easy to achieve that broken in feeling, and does make the shoe look better, so it's common for pros who go through 2 pairs a day to break theirs in through hacks like this as much as possible that way they are clean and new for performances.

@charlotteosgood7390 7 лет назад

I've been on pointe for a year and recently got shoes with a 3/4 shank, and they've been pretty helpful for me. the first day i used them, my arches were sore because it takes more effort to get up on pointe, but it's easier to fully pointe my toes and walking in demi-pointe is more comfortable than with regular shoes.

@adelaidetisserand9559 7 лет назад

Also, as for the last hack I pretty much only wear tights in my shoes for performances when it is required and you'll notice that in a lot of professional classes, dancers usually roll their tights up and dance barefoot in their shoes (except for padding if a dancer chooses to use it) and I love the feel of the pointe shoes on my heels. I have never gotten blisters from it except for when my elastics are sewn to close to my Achilles tendon. I don't like the look of professionals wearing their tights like she showed for performances however because it still is noticeable a lot of times. For performances, I wear the tights like normal and wet the back of my heels and apply rosin to the heel of my tights if that makes sense. That always worked with me.

I never take the top part of the satin off. My dances have a lot of fouettés and I find it much easier to do with the satin on top intact because it flows better

It’s killing me that the fact she’s calling it wood

Nice video 💛it was refreshing actually I have seen many pointe shoe hacks over time but some of this was new to me, especially the rosin trick. Also you are definitely a big hit at the studio so many of us follow your channel it's brilliant! 💛💛💛

I just got my first pair of point, it’s grishko ones, I don’t think I’m going to cut open it but I’m definitely gonna “break” them on the floor (oh and tiny hacks for ppl that read this comment, u can use the door of ur studio because u really could break the floor if it’s wood or a softer material than the actual shoes). Ur hacks were so helpful, thank u !

For tip number 8, why do you use water? At my studio we use rubbing alcohol because it dries in 2-4 minutes and keeps it soft so the glue won't reharden

@VickyLatorreArt 6 лет назад

Very interesting. At some point I thought you were just destroying the shoe and that this video was a prank. Yes, you can tell I don't know anything about dancing. Thank you so much for sharing. It make one appreciate all the trouble you guys go through.

So you spray water to soften the shoe.... then shellack it to harden it..... same area... just look, it is the same area..... I am confused.

@ViolaGrl19 6 лет назад

A lot of people say this destroys the shoes. Actually it allows dancers to customize their shoes to fit their exact needs, and it makes them last somewhat longer. Obviously if you are a new dancer, not all of these are necessary for you. These are for dancers that do more extreme dancing like a professional dancer. Also...this helps support them, and make them feel more comfortable. If you've ever put on a pair of pointe shoes, you'd know how uncomfortable they are unless you have padding and those special foot molds, which some dancers do.
