OMG SAME SIS!!! I KEEP ALL MY POINTE SHOES AND IM ONLY 18!! I did SAB and lived in the dorms and we got new pairs of point shoes every week!! We had practice EVERY DAY!! Now I do NEW YORK CITY BALLET!! My little girl dream came true
I did pointe but. I was cheap about it so I only bought like 4 pairs and when the teacher said get new ones I would just get the other one I already bought this never Improved my skill and I broke my ankle and can never do pointe again so if u are going to be cheap do not do pointe at all
I absolutely ADORE you! Yes, your arches-they’re gorgeous! I had arches like that, too, back in the late 1970s...before everything went to absolute hell. 😜
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 still have my first pair of pointe shoes in dance bag, for some reason I can’t fathom the idea taking them out. My other old pairs I have taken out my bag but I just can’t with my first pair 😂😂
It's why in Karate we keep all our old belts as you go through the ranks because that's your spirit your work your sweat went into those belts so you keep them every now and then you pull them out look at them it's a good thing
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!
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.

Actually this is my first year on pointe and the part where u said u got regular elastic and regular ribbon I’m like yep me too. And also the part when u said they are baggy when u go in flat, I can relate rn... lol. That’s why when I get my second pair of pointe shoes I want to get the stretch\elastic ribbons!
The pointe shoes painted on using acrylic paint are actually really pretty!🤩😍 Also, I really need Russian pointe shoes so bad! I have really wide metatarsals and long/tapered toes! Meaning it's a pain in the *bleep* to find pointe shoes that actually fit me in the USA!
I wore Russian pointes for a few months but the shank always stayed super hard while the box DIED. Not a fun experience but they were the prettiest on my feet O_o
Every dancer I ever met when I was a child said I had beautiful legs because of the... bendyness?😂 Probably because I did synchronised swimming. But now I'm kind of sad I never took ballet classes...
On my ballet school they let me wear my first point shoes during two years. And they were so dead that I can't stand on point, And I spend a whole year believing that I was a bad dancer. (Sorry for the bad english)
This video got recommended to me…I quit ballet when I was 8 years old…but I’m asking myself why I am actually insterested in that, ballet was SOOO expensive. I think if I still did ballet now, my family would be completely BROKE now
can you tell me we’re you got your elastic ribbons i’m a new pointe dancer and i literally fell in love with your feet so i want to do everything you are doing girl
I have the weird obsession with ballet and I’ve nvr even danced in my life.. I do musical theatre🧍🏻(although I do wish I was able to start ballet but I nvr could and now I’m 15 and can’t do it anymore)
Do you guys not have demi pointe shoes where you are? Are demi pointe and soft block the same thing? Before I went on pointe, I had to start wearing demi pointe instead of normal canvas flats, is that the same as soft blocks?
I don't know why but some sizer for pointe shoes put me in Russians even though my feet are not at all flexible... the fit was great but the shank was never broken in. I could probably still use them
Omg real story! I took my old point shoes off the box and they literally died in the box. I mean they crumbled! And there was nothing left. I mean the ties were there🙈
They were probably eaten by weevil bugs, which happens to pointe shoes that aren’t stored in sealable plastic. Weevil are attracted to the paste used to harden the box. Freed’s are the most prone to this.
The weird thing about ballerinas... we keep all our old shoes. Forever. For no reason... but we must😅
Those boxes are probably worth millions since pointe shoes are so expensive 😂
Yeah you're right I have my old pointe shoes and leotards from age 5 and so....😕
@@paulineiv878
this might just be a misunderstanding but u started pointe at 5 years old?
@@audreyli_creations I started pointe at 9 5 yrs old for leotards and slippers sorry for confusion....🙂
I was a gymnast I stopped early last year and still have ALL of my leotards and my grips

How is she not more popular? She is literally woah! Such great personality. Soooo I guess I’m here before she blows up!!
I still have my first pair of pointe shoes in dance bag, for some reason I can’t fathom the idea taking them out. My other old pairs I have taken out my bag but I just can’t with my first pair 😂😂
I did pointe once a week for 30 minutes and my first pair (Russian Class) was dead after half a year. How did your first pair last so looooooong?
she just has magic feet. my first pair only lasted two months
Here before Alex becomes famous!!
As a Brit, the pronunciation of Suffolk is SENDING me!!!!!!!!!
I was wondering if that's what she was saying!!

It's why in Karate we keep all our old belts as you go through the ranks because that's your spirit your work your sweat went into those belts so you keep them every now and then you pull them out look at them it's a good thing
It isn't the same thing as a new belt means you have advanced and pointe shoes don't mean anything apart from memories ....

8:59 me when i try to walk in heels
This is the best intro I’ve seen and I have been watching RUclips religiously for as long as I can remember

Omg the way you pronounce Suffolk.. haha it’s really funny.. the L is supposed to be silent caused it’s named after the owners. Much love tho 💕💖
Haha whelp you live and you learn 😅
It is a county in England and then of course the Americans named a county the same!
The pointe shoes painted on using acrylic paint are actually really pretty!🤩😍
Also, I really need Russian pointe shoes so bad! I have really wide metatarsals and long/tapered toes! Meaning it's a pain in the *bleep* to find pointe shoes that actually fit me in the USA!
I wore Russian pointes for a few months but the shank always stayed super hard while the box DIED. Not a fun experience but they were the prettiest on my feet O_o
All of these videos are just making me more and more excited to go en pointe next year! ❤️
I have a soft socks for my old ballet class and I completely get it because I wanted to be in on pointe not regular soft socks which was annoying
What freed model did you wear for your first pointe shoe? Also ur arch is bootiful
HHH UR HYPEREXTENSION ND ARCHES LOOK GORGEOUS
What’s the difference between soft blocks and just plain canvas full-soled soft ballet slippers?
Your arches are beyond gorgeous and your linesss😍
-Love from a fellow dancer🩰
giiiirrrlllllll! why did you stop doing ballet! OMG YOU FEET ARE BEAUTIFUL IN THOSE SHOES I AM SO JEALOUSSSSSS
Every dancer I ever met when I was a child said I had beautiful legs because of the... bendyness?😂 Probably because I did synchronised swimming. But now I'm kind of sad I never took ballet classes...
OMG SAME, I do diving and synchro and people always ask how long I’ve danced for and I was like I never have
congratulations on 1k subscribers!! love your channel!
Thank you so much! 😊
I tried as many freed pointe shoes from different makers and I have not found my maker at all :(
On my ballet school they let me wear my first point shoes during two years.
And they were so dead that I can't stand on point, And I spend a whole year believing that I was a bad dancer.
(Sorry for the bad english)
yikes 😬 (to the teachers not you)
Your arches are GORGEOUS
Oh thank you!! 😊

You look like Janet from the good place in this vid and honestly I’m here for it 😝
You're legit like hilarious 😂😂😂 and so inspirational, I hope one day I can be just as good as you are, I feel very far but I'll try!!
This makes me miss pointe. I used to wear Suffolk shoes as well.
Do you go to ocad?? Honestly other art schools probably have d.a.d. as a mandatory first year course, but i thought maybe!
You're on my subscriber list! God I love your fricking arches SO JEALOUS

It’s unfortunate ballet is expensive in terms of “supplies” and classes. I wish there were more ways to get free ballet out there 😭
Love the BTS poster in the back. Also you are soooooooo pretty!

It took me 19 effing pairs of shoes to find mine!!!!
Do you guys not have demi pointe shoes where you are? Are demi pointe and soft block the same thing? Before I went on pointe, I had to start wearing demi pointe instead of normal canvas flats, is that the same as soft blocks?
where did you get that barre?!
My dad actually bought it at a hardware store and put it up himself when I was 13!
You’re great and so is ur humor 😂 love it
Love that you have a barre at home
this is so awesome to see, as a girl who just started pointe
Those first few seconds are such a mood
It was recommended! Congrats! Nice video btw
My first pair were freeds too!
What brand are the white hooves one 😂
They are also Freeds!

Why did u quit though 🥺
A lot of thinking and things happened which lead me to the decision but I still love dancing in my free time!
i’m not sure why i was recommended a ballet video....but i’m not disappointed c:
Elastic ribbons are a god send
I remember the first time I went on point nobody told me I was supposed to break the shoe and I was dancing with the worst pain I ever felt in my life
