[@lavenderrivers6213]

[@aeea8318]

I am not yet on pointe, however my teacher has an interesting view on it : He's a man but used to practice pointe too, and was soloist at Opéra de Paris ballet company (so the guy knows a thing or two). He leads pre-pro as well as hobby (not pro) classes, and insists that pointe shoes 🩰should actually NOT be painful AT ALL, that feeling discomfort in them is not a normal thing either : it means your shoe is not the good fit for your case. And that "ugly feet" are caused by not propperly fitted shoes. If the shoe is good for the dancer, then they will not have such problems. As well, as a teacher he does not force dancers on pointe too early (10-11yo is the French standard), and if one can go on a bit sooner, it is because she has an uncommon strength and mastering of technique allowing to do so safely. He prefers consolidating technique and strength first, because that makes adjusting to dancing on pointe quicker and safer, while preserving dancer's health on the long run. I really appreciate the consideration he has for the dancer's health, whether they are future professionals or adults doing it for fun. I'm so damm happy to start my ballet journey with him. And not only he is a great teacher, he also is an amazing human being, I hope you all may encounter such a golden professor in your life.

My first ballet teacher was actually telling the stories of herself dancing on pointe and after that pouring blood from her shoes - and it was a casual story back then.

@@Izabela-ek5nh back then pointe shoes were not made like they are now and they didn't have the technology of different pads that we do now.

As a dancer I'm grateful for the technology we have now so we can have shoes that are comfortable to dance in without destroying our feet.

You can go there and become a professional! Maya Shonbrun started ballet at 13 and won gold at YAGP at 16. So it means that in 3 years she went to the top, only 3 years ! And there's so much people out there sharing their stories on how they started "late" and went on it! It's worth the try! 😍 Please allow me to share my experience : (lengthy part) I started ballet veeery late (20 yo!), having to learn everything, no natural flexibility, balance or something alike. Just enthusiasm and feelings to share. Quitted during covid before coming back and having to mostly relearn.. However, I have that crazy dream to become a great soloist to make my teacher proud and share my happiness with others through this art. I didn't dared to think something like that, however there's that call that's there nonetheless. The thing is : I have that best friend (basically brother) who is highly realistic, never saying anything untrue (even if the truth could destroy completely the person). Never says something out of encouragement or politeness if he doesn't strongly believe it. He never ever had been wrong when guessing my possibilities, even when I strongly believed otherwise. Both about my achievements and failures (as well as for other people's btw). He said that if put in the work and don't get bored, I, yes, can become soloist at my dream company. I kept saying that I'm too old for that, and so he went to pick me up examples in other sports. He found that guy, who started boxing at 20, two years later he won USA championship, and then became World champion ! 🤩 Turns out there's sooooooo much people who started "too late" and nonetheless ate it all leaving no crumbs! Yes, you might have less years of practice, but your motivation and grown-up knowledge brings you to push through difficulties much more and hence be more efficient at your learning. There's that song : "Hall of fame", it's so motivating ! Listen to it, and watch the clip, it's really something 🤩 That's the moment I started to think about becoming soloist as a real possibility. Yes it's hard, sometimes it feels like a failure, but I have that flame in me to do it! 🚀 I really hope my story inspirate you for your own achievements, whenever you feel down about it, please listen to the Hall of fame and remember my modest comment 🥰 So really I urge you to go for it and work hard for it and keep it going despite difficulties ! Keep believing in you, and if that didn't convinced you, think about that with all try and error, there's a moment you'll statistically make it to the next level, and finally to your dreams. 😊

I want to clarify another thing. Majority of the pics that are out there are from the older dancers who were dancing en pointe in like the 70's-90's and because the shoes weren't made that great and with most studios not letting dancers wear toe pads (which they hardly had back then) that's why their feet look like that.

For post care, I recommend a 15 minute Epsom salt foot soak in very warm water with lavendar or almond oil oil in it after every class. Then, use a rough sugar scrub all over the feet focusing on toes to help prevent callusses. Finish by deeply massaging vitamin e oil into the feet to help with healing(Biooil is even better) , get in deep into the arches and tops of feet for a massage. Finish with a thick lotion or butter and put socks on to lock it in. Also keep toenails short and clean under.
