it's so nice that you added al the close-ups of the shoes in your videos! really helps clarifying what you're explaining :)

@ThePointeShop 5 лет назад

I'm SO glad you like them. My ghetto shooting/editing skills are just... sad.

One of the hacks from another video is that the dancer uses a thin awl (from any hardware store) to punch the holes in the shoe where the darning needle will follow so it makes the sewing super easy and the awl is designed to puncture things and it requires much less force to punch than it does with a needle.

Would be so great to see the dancer wearing them at the end - getting to see the end result produced by all the adjustments would be very satisfying!

I know where they were sitting!!! haha that's so neat that she was in Pittsburgh!!!!

I wear a nitrile glove when sewing my shoes. Always have. It’s safer than trying to manipulate the needle and the theraband square and has the added bonus of grips on the finger tips (at least on most brands of gloves).

Eeeee! A pointe shoe hack with the type of feet I have! Rolling over has always been a problem for me. I'm in a 3/4 to help hold me back as well, but I think I'm going to try cutting further back like hers. I use the same ribbons. But, I'm going to try darning her way too. I'm so excited to try these hacks out. I'm so stoked! I also don't break my shoes in with my hands. If I do my feet kill my shoes in one class. Im sure she has that same issue. Thank you!

@covynxx718 5 лет назад

I find it so impressive that you know SO much about so many different shoes and types

@ThePointeShop 5 лет назад

Thank you so much! Definitely couldn't get a job with this knowledge anywhere else

Love these videos! Would love to get a video about freed makers and their differences. There’s not much information out there, especially on RU-vid about some of the basic differences of Freed Classics, Pros, 90s, etc... and some of the most popular or desired makers. I’m sure a lot of people would be interested in learning more!

@TsubasaDreams 5 лет назад

I love love this series and enjoy seeing you on tour! I'm just an adult beginner but I still find these videos so interesting and educational.

@ThePointeShop 5 лет назад

Oh thank you so much! I"m so happy you like them! I learn something new every time too

@paulahills9546 5 лет назад

Anyone else want to see those lovely feet in the shoes, to see how the shoes "control/help" them? Loving the tips from all over! 😀 ❤️❤️❤️😀

@ThePointeShop 5 лет назад

That's a good idea. It's so hard to be strong with that much flexibility

@jend5336 Год назад

i don't do ballet but i've sewn some thick unruly fabrics. Dritz Needle Pullers are fabulous for gripping needles.

@decodolly1535 5 лет назад

Great video, as always but watching this from the UK and knowing it's a US channel, it's SO weird to suddenly hear a dancer with a British accent!

@ThePointeShop 5 лет назад

hahaha! We're obsessed with her accent

@taliakennedy975 5 лет назад

I'm starting pointe soon and my teacher prefers gaynor minders, it would be great if you could do a video about your opinions on these and any tips specifically for gaynors. Such a shame that you only work in America would be great to have you in the UK! :)

Hi from the Netherlands! Love your videos! As an adult beginner to ballet (started at 34) and newbee to pointwork shortly, could you give some tips on how to keep your shoes/ airate them AFTER class? Lots of love, Leontien

@ThePointeShop 5 лет назад

Yes!

@brooklynrichy9246 5 лет назад

I’ve taken ballet for three years or so, and I’ve always wanted to transition to pointe. I’m curious if she’d be willing to still sell me shoes.

@poojapkohli 5 лет назад

Hi! Can you suggest the best pointe shoes for those who have “Grecian Feet”?

@ThePointeShop 5 лет назад

I'll do a video on that!

Hey Josephine, I was wondering about my pointe shoe problem. I do have strong legs/feet but I can't seem to roll up onto pointe on one foot?

@ThePointeShop 5 лет назад

This sounds like a strength issue. Perhaps you need more support in your shank :)

Whenever you come to salt lake City again, you should come up to Logan and fit dancers in the Cache Valley Civic Ballet, and students in the school! I just got permission to go on pointe, otherwise i would have seen if you could come fit dancers in my studio when you were closer

@anastasiachabanov3615 5 лет назад

Hey i wanna start ballet im 11, and im wondering if you can get your pointe shoes in less than a year of training. Can you?

@kayak3342 4 года назад

Ana Chabanov definitely not recommended. you need the proper technique, strength, and development before you begin pointe work, or else you can get injured very easily.

@anastasiachabanov3615 4 года назад

Kayla Cooper hey thanks for letting me know 😊
