Claudia Dean World Hi Claudia it would be great if you could give me some advice on my Bloch heritage. I started with the heritage, then went to the Merilla whisper but had trouble getting fully onto my box on second. Then went back to heritage and love them but they die so quickly. I’m now wearing Grishko dream pointe and still not loving them. I want to go back to heritage but I feel they die very quickly and I have to pay for all my own pointe shoes too. I have very narrow feet and in heritage I’m a 5 no x any advice for me? And also can you please do a video about ganyor mindens too because I’m also looking at those but are quite pricy. Thank you so much and I love your videos and I love that your also an Aussie like me xx

I don’t have “archy feet” per se, but I do have weirdly flexible feet, so they were very deceiving until I went up to full pointe, they looked wide and flat when I was just standing but when I went up on pointe the metatarsals on my feet would squeeze together and be much more narrow. I can still squeeze my feet on the big toe knuckle and pinky knuckle and make my foot a lot more narrow. I would just stretch stretch stretch every day!! Have someone pull up and Over on your foot with straight knees when you are sitting but slowly and carefully and make sure they are not sickling you. I had it naturally but my teacher still stretched them because he couldn’t get over how deceiving they were 😂😂 so they became even more flexible over time.

My very first pointe shoe fitting is in two weeks! I'm so excited!!! I'm 32, I started ballet 8 months ago, with no prior experience. Around Christmas time both my teachers told me they thought I was ready to start pointe. I had been dancing only 6 months at that time. I waited a couple months to make my fitting appointment because I needed to save some money for them. I can't wait to see what shoes work for me. I have Egyptian feet, so figuring out the right padding to take pressure off my big toe will be necessary.
@justme98185 жыл бұрын
I know this isn't what you want to hear, and I'm genuinely sorry to give you the following information but I think it's madness for your teachers to put you on pointe so soon. Even if you used to dance when you were younger it's not likely that you have had enough time to built up enough strength or technique for pointe work. Especially when you're older you have to be extra careful -your body can't adapt to being on pointe the way a younger body can. Damage to the knees, lower back, ankles or feet is too easy to happen. Even if you are able to get onto pointe, your feet, ankles, legs and core haven't had enough time to develop the strength to support you safely while you are dancing on pointe. -It's awful if it's true but you may have been given very bad advice by your teachers. Check out Claudia's pre pointe tutorials. See how your technique compares. Maybe take an open class with a different teacher, see how that teacher assesses your strength. Just please mind yourself.
@KiraHelenRose5 жыл бұрын
@@justme9818 My teachers actually told me that my body is strong enough, much stronger than some of the girls already en pointe. I am built very strong and I have very good balance. My technique is actually very far along for how long I have been dancing. I advanced very quickly and have good technique. Not only my teachers have commented on this, but other dancers at my studio, some who have been dancing for 50 years, have told me that they know people who have been dancing most of their lives that do not have the level of technique and natural ability that I have. My teachers are not sticking me in pointe shoes and starting me in the center. It will start with very short and basic barre exercises to help continue to improve my strength and balance. Once they are confident that I am ready to move into the center, that will be the next step. To be honest, I have seen countless adult beginners all over social media in pointe shoes WAY before they even have any technique what so ever. And that is irresponsible on the part of their teachers. I was determined not to go en pointe until I felt confident that my technique was ready, even if I was already physically ready. I have both physical strength and a good technical base. No, my technique is not perfect. But it is something that I will continue to work on and develop in flat shoes, as I also develop more strength and balance en pointe. Both will aid one another. The stronger I get from basic pointe work will help my technique, and improved technique will lend itself to future pointe work.
@KiraHelenRose5 жыл бұрын
I will also add, I take five classes a week. And I am now taking intermediate classes as well. Back in the fall, when I'd only been dancing four months, I took a vacation from work and designed my own mini-intensive of sorts and took 13 classes over a 14 day period, with rest days interspersed. I have already been testing my abilities, strength, and stamina. And my teachers know to tell their students to slow down if they are having physical issues. My studio was designed for adult dancers, especially older women. We have a class called Gentle Ballet. It is designed with older women in mind. We have women in their 60s, 70s, and 80s in those classes. My main teacher, who is the owner of the studio, is well educated in anatomy, and is also certified in Essentrics. She is all about doing what is safe for your body.

Thank you for this video Claudia! So relatable/real & helpful! Karen is amazingly caring and knowledgeable: I’ve recently visited a rather larger dance retailer here in the states (Non-brand specific, carries many brand/products- to try out my fit re: Gaynors in a #5 box vs. my usual #4) and, sadly, though I ended up leaving with the perfect fit & my dream shoe, the fitter was very standoffish and posed no questions or observations/input: I felt like I was just stating aloud almost seemingly to myself what I liked and didn’t like about the two shoes and little to no input was given: that’s why I appreciate Karen’s care so much- a second opinion is always welcome & key, I believe. Either way, I ended up leaving with a new wardrobe of a few leotards, leggings, tights, and perfect fitting shoes & accessories! I ADORE this video! Lots of love to you always! 💕✨

@@Lumadonajp My Triomphes and Hannahs were the worst fitted pointe shoes in my dance history. Both had heels that were too wide for my feet. I have both a narrow and a disappearing heel! My feet are like this: 1. Normal arch with a very decent instep 2. Wide in the box, very narrow at the heel 3. Long (my feet are about the same size as Katie's -if you watch Kathryn Morgan-) 4. Tapered toes (well, they are in-between Giselle toes and Egyptian toes). 5. My feet and ankles are not the strongest. My feet are a nightmare for fitters. I love the B-Morphs. Aspiration were a great match for me as well. Heritage were a close second to B-Morphs in the shop as they fitted my feet well, but I could tell that the Heritage would be funny with the heel when dancing. I could always try Hannah Strong, but I am put off it as it was a nightmare shoe for me. I am looking into Russian Pointe too as I am interested in trying either Encore or Brava. However, I am pretty happy with the B-Morph so far (aside from the pressure on the big toe, which I can cope with by either putting in some lamb's wool or toe caps).

One of the issues with bloch shoes that I've found is that they are all too boxy for me. I have very tapered toes but they may work a lot better for you

I have European balances and I like them a lot. It’s definitely a boxier box (if that makes sense) and they’re a higher profile shoe, but they’re also really easy to roll up and balance on (hence the name I guess)

Katie Jones I’ve heard good things about those!

dancing turtles yeah! I have long, wideish feet and longer toes, and they do a really great job. Of course, every foot is different, but this is my experience in them!

Hi Claudia it would be great if you could give me some advice on my Bloch heritage. I started with the heritage, then went to the Merilla whisper but had trouble getting fully onto my box on second. Then went back to heritage and love them but they die so quickly. I’m now wearing Grishko dream pointe and still not loving them. I want to go back to heritage but I feel they die very quickly and I have to pay for all my own pointe shoes too. I have very narrow feet and in heritage I’m a 5 no x any advice for me? And also can you please do a video about ganyor mindens too because I’m also looking at those but are quite pricy. Thank you so much and I love your videos and I love that your also an Aussie like me xx

Kate Elizabeth on the parts that die faster you can try to use shellac. Or you can see if you can get custom shoes: Bloch heritage with a stronger shank, or something along those lines

I'd advise trying out a couple more brands gaynors last forever if you find a pair that fit (they never did for me) so in a way that makes the higher price worth it since you'll buy less shoes. I wear Russian points and they are known for having very strong shanks and running narrow in their sizing and I find this to be true but they are beautiful shoes. I feel you on the shoe expenses, hope this was helpful.
