ASMR - Preparing Pointe Shoes with a Ballerina

In honor of our Pointe Shoe Fund, Pacific Northwest Ballet's newest Principal dancer Sarah-Gabrielle Ryan is taking you through her process of preparing her pointe shoes, ASMR-style.
Each dancer is unique and needs a slightly different pointe shoe. Even though they are customized to each dancer’s feet, they still need adjustments to support them properly when they dance.
PNB’s pointe dancers will use over 2,000 pairs of pointe shoes to rehearse and perform PNB’s 2023-2024 season. At a cost of $120 per pair, we need your support to keep our dancers on their toes.
Visit www.pnb.org/po... to learn more and make your gift today.
p.s. this is our first ASMR-video, leave your feedback in the comments!

The combination of the mic and her voice, ✨magical✨

[@jessicahart1159]

I have to say, this is probably my favorite ASMR video ever

[@pacificnorthwestballet]

A high compliment!

[@ale.za.]

We NEED her to do another video, telling how she got into ballet and maybe some fun facts that most of the ppl maybe dont know. But i really loved this video and it would be amazing to see and hear more from her! 😊

[@beckc.d.1813]

Her reaction to the mike was the cutest ❤

[@gretchensmith3981]

This girl is perfect at this!❤ She should do another one.

This was so interesting- and I have a whole new appreciation for a dancer’s attention to the shoe - it’s a whole other dimension to their art. loved seeing Swan Lake yesterday and super proud to be a Pointe Shoe Fund donor! (What does ASMR mean?)

[@pacificnorthwestballet]

ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, it is a term used to describe a tingling, calming sensation some people report experiencing in response to certain audio or visual stimuli. It's a genre of video that has recently gained a lot of popularity. Thanks for supporting us!

I’ve watching so many times it’s a problem that I’ll never deal with

[@tinman2]

700! that's insane! How long do they last and why don't they last longer?

[@pacificnorthwestballet]

Pointe shoes can last a few hours (for an active role like Odette) or a few weeks if you're not wearing them as often. The glues break down with sweat, so they don't last forever.

[@AngelaSmith_1970]

And from what my podiatrist has told me, the feet sweat 16oz/about 500ml per foot per day, I’ve had too many foot surgeries, my cast got sweaty and I asked 😂

[@lisawilliams8180]

I got plenty of tingles! Thank you!

[@rexshee]

This was incredible! Thank you, Sarah-Gabrielle!

[@DeEb11]

This was adorable 🥰 Thank you

[@JessicaProcini]

THIS IS AMAZINGGGGG & hilarious 😂

[@manga12]

oh you did it right and very well even the parts of asmr that I dont like, you can hear the lip smacking very well and it drives me nuts but some love that sound, liked the paper and the rosin most especially like sanding wood in the shop and makes dancers look as tough as they are but like they arer crushing stones as it explodes and bursts

[@ejc480]

She is delightful!

[@jengirl2]

Love her!!

[@sherryvanrijn5453]

WOW, that was amazing! And also...yikes. Thank you!!

[@phantomgirl832]

[@PavelMy]

can someone explain what the meaning of these videos is?

[@nizu7545]

Pointe shoes need to be broken in (customized to their own foot) to be able to be used by the dancers

[@relanimh1039]

If you mean the asmr type of video it’s just supposed to be relaxing to listen to
