    I had so many pairs of Suffolks and I LOVED them until I got injured and needed a stronger shank and switched to Russians but I eventually had to just quit pointe because I couldn’t find a shoe that didn’t twist (I have a really dramatic Egyptian foot so super diagonal toes) and couldn’t take the pain of basically no shank support because it would always be off to the side of my foot instead of against my sole. I miss the days when I could dance for hours in my Suffolks with little to no foot pain🥺 the good old days. Injuries suck :(

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video from Beginning to End. OMG, I loved the comedy, the realness, the honesty, and everything else you added to this video. This is my very ever first time laying eyes on just the video preview. Once I started watching, I was hooked like a fish on a fishing hook. Only thing, like a fish that's hooked squirming to get free, escape, or get away, I wasn't thinking about, collecting any negative vibes, trying to move my eyes in a different direction to show any cringing. I wasn't even interested in any way form or fashion felt the need to want to escape this video. I'm giving this video 5x5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
    X
    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟's. She needs her own TV show about Ballet. She'll educate us on how to become successful as a ballerina, showing us a few type of stretches while bringing the humor with it. Have special guest such as professional ballerinas, (male and females) a few gymnast, ECT... Writing all this may be unnecessary just to say, She was excellent, the video was perfection and she added the right amount of comedy in her video. Doesn't get any better than that.
    Thank You so much for sharing some of your life's training with millions around the world, especially ME! You truly gained a subscriber, a fan, a friend, and most of all, a team supporter!
    God Bless, and Please, Continue to do your best, staying true to who you are as a human being, and blessing not only me, but hundreds of thousand others with your talent and your blessed gift of dance and comedy to us all.

    I lived in Capezios for years. Of course, this was the 80s, so there was lambs wool and paper towels or cottonballs to "comfort" my feet. (HA! As if...) I gave away all my clunker shoes. I'd doodle on them or sign my name to them and give them away to younger students or friends. This was great to watch!
