How I Sew My Pointe Shoes!

[@allyson.]

The amount of care for pointe shoes is amazing ❤ Although it’s so fast to wear down 😭

[@ririka8740]

i know right its insane. i do all styles of dance but ballet is the one i refuse to major in bc of the prices for costumes 😭

[@yeonkie8i109]

​@@ririka8740 ballet costumes can be expensive but had you seen belly dance ones? I prefer ballet honestly

[@ririka8740]

@@yeonkie8i109 both are pretty expensive, but i prefer belly dancing ones because i dont bave to pay for the shoes very often. pointe shoes , lots of people buy 3-5 a month. thats at least 200-500 dollars js for shoes

[@yazdhenab.]

Care ? They absolutely don't care of their point shoes, most of the ballerina broke 8t, smash it, walk on shatered glass, rip it... They maybe add quickly some elastic and ribbon, but for the rest, they don't care at all, some ballerina bougth a pair by day.... 😅😅😅😅

[@ordinarydragon8764]

@@yazdhenab. Thats cause their in companies and get them for free, when there broken there WAY more comfy but don't last.

Side effects of being a dancer: every time you move you pop something if not everything 😂😂

[@onlysemisane]

Seriously, recently my hips, knees, back and shoulders have been popping like crazy lol

[@miaarose07]

Yes 🥲 I did gymnastics from pre-k to 6th grade and im 15 now and every time i move it sounds like someone's making popcorn 😂

[@ririka8740]

oh my god right 😭😭 i swear everytime i move, dancing or not, i hear SOMETHING breaking

[@eloises.5582]

SO TRUE

[@Nicknstrips]

This omg I took ballet for 8 years and even though it's been like 3 years since I've done it, my bones still pop and snap like I'm 87😭😭😭

[@KatMarshmallow]

You’d think they’d be a little bit cheaper for how much care and work you have to put into getting them to fit you properly 😭

[@shannonrickard8605]

Having to customize them doesn't make them cheaper. Pointe shoes are all handmade, one by one

[@ririka8740]

and for how little they last 💀💀most ballerinas ik go thru 2-5 pairs a month 🙁🙁

[@yeonkie8i109]

​@@ririka8740 wow in my academy they use only one for more than one month

[@emma_nutella58]

I love how you spend over $90 on these shoes and still have to customise them to make them usable

[@shannonrickard8605]

Dancers *want* their shoes to be customized to their liking. Regardless of how much they cost

[@leah6824]

It’s not like everyone has the same feet yknow, different people need different things for their shoes.

[@taylorbritt499]

@@leah6824 and yet they still manage to mass produce tennis shoes, dress shoes, boots, slippers, sandals, heels.... and amazingly, everyone doesn't walk around with customized Sketchers or Doc Martens. Even shoes for OTHER forms of dance do not force you to sew them yourself (ie tap dancing shoes).

[@JacquelineUnderwood]

@@taylorbritt499you’re not putting the entirety of your weight on one toe in those shoes. I understand the point you’re trying to make, but all the shoes you mentioned aren’t having to support your foot so you don’t twist something while still allowing lots of flexibility so you can dance. If you were having to support your entire body on a single toe instead of your whole foot for any other activity, you would end up having to customize it. Where the straps and laces are placed is integral to the support the shoe gives, and the type of material used for that also has an effect. Makes more sense to provide them basic and allow dancers to make the adjustments they’d make anyways than make them “ready to wear” and force dancers to deconstruct them to customize them.

[@ilyssanagelberg]

Its good because not everyone has the same type of feet!

[@katelynsimpson105]

I always did crossed elastic with stretchy ribbons and of course a bunch of things like toe spacers and tape and all of that and it's honestly wild to me seeing how different everyone's point shoes really are just bc of how different people need different things

[@Miladybug]

I love that somehow I ended up on the serious ballet side of your channel 😂

[@frangipangi]

Anyone else find it's so satisfying

[@elizabethgaines-cardone4670]

Me getting point shoes 🥳 Also me when I realize sewing is involved 😭

[@weird0_]

pointe (im sorry i had to lol)

[@s._.5473]

the time and effort put into the shoes is phenomenal! i used to be a ballet dancer and the stress was unreal.

[@claireschweizer4765]

I'm so glad I don't have to do this because I'm not en pointe but I love watching anyway 😂😂😂🩰🩰🩰🩰

[@bellarose-au]

So... comforting and relaxing 😌

[@legomanica7701]

Love how happy you look queen! You're beautiful!

[@N3RDYG0GGLES]

It fascinates me when dancers have to sew their ribbons on and then do all sorts of stuff to comfortably break in their pointe shoes. It really does look like an art in itself you have to become skilled at 😂

[@MollsMols]

I love the Nutcracker in the background!!!

[@kymberlymlara]

This would be a reallyyy great ASMR... Like no creepy stuff like an over head camera and the shoes on a table...sooo relaxing ! Lol

[@elenapenasse]

Omg even the way you sit gives 'Ballet' with a capital letter. And I'm all here for it!

[@avalanigan555]

I also dance on Russians. I Love your videos!

[@Summer.12Girl]

I’m not a dancer but this seems pretty valid to me, I did a bit of sewing here and there thanks to school, and my mum also taught me the basics, my strong suit was embroidery though

[@rileyfullenkamp7424]

It feels like such an accomplishment to me when I finish sewing the ribbons ! 😅

[@Caroline-pz4ro]

this is the first time i’ve had Russian Pointe shoes and i love them soo much (just as much as i love you!)❤❤❤

[@oceanthecatfish6767]

The trick with the lighter is actually so handy 😅

[@Yesnoyesnoyesnoyesnoyesnoyesno]

The classic nutcracker march

[@levinosaurusrex]

I love the background sound. March of the Walnutbreakers is my favorite.

[@dancer_gilmore]

Not me dancing to the music of my part in the nutcracker 😂😂😂 love you continue with your dance career 💕

[@Leatherargento]

Thank you so much for visually explaining bits of the dance world for those of us with six left feet!

[@josiieize2.0]

You're so cute, I love your concentrated face!

[@DMs_and_HPs_wife]

I think we all have to agree that she is sooo beautiful and a wonderful dancer

[@karinamiller7622]

Your satire is super funny, but I especially like these videos where you're educating us. Thank you! 😘

[@White-tq3si]

Ooh, I get it now when some people say it's different for everyone. I was taught to sew the elastic on the back and the ribbons on the front.

[@madisonfire-guardian5377]

I’m getting my first pair of point shoes possibly this January so omg I love pointe so related stuff(so basically the text is the week before winter break if I pass then the lady with like size me for a good shoe and then my 3 year old dreams will come true(when I was 3 and started dancing the goals were to do a solo, go on pointe and to graduate from the studio)) btw I’m now 13 and I’m learning my first solo so 2/3

[@asthenolith]

Good luck I hope you do great!!

[@Contortionfan11]

This is actually a reasonably educational video for how short it is and with no commentary, this came up in my KZbin feed at just the right time as I’m currently just about to sew the ribbons onto my new pointe shoes and was wondering about exactly where they should be placed, I can see how you did it when you turned the shoe inside out, thanks! Ps love the eye roll :)

[@colettewaddell8362]

Gosh, I remember doing that whole process lol. Such a chore!

[@bolitabolitabolita]

Caring for pointe shoes is an art in itself. Wow.

[@ellaarkin70]

I never knew this is what it takes to fit pointe shoes correctly…thank you so much for sharing.

[@rodentsofrandomness9203]

For some reason this reminded me of when I used to do ballet and tap when I was little. Never did pointe tho, I had the soft ballet shoes that are more comfy

[@13thdeadworld]

You are so freakin beautiful!

It’s nutcracker season😍😍😍

You can tell you have been a dancer for years by your posture I absolutely love your posture

[@Barbatos_098]

I love the cutting part

Pointe shoe collection show? 🩰

[@twirlygirly4235]

Is no one going to talk about the fact that the asmr is so perfect

[@rez-.-]

I love these non comedy videos of yours they keep me on this planet.

[@lillee.o]

This song brings me nostalgia from the nutcracker.. I miss dancing in it.

[@Emilie.D_Dancer]

Honestly whoever created to lighter hack for the ribbons MARRY ME

[@AbigailLongshore]

Man, I love your content❤❤❤ BTW, as a pointe dancer burning the edges is very helpful!❤❤❤

[@michaelamink4024]

Something I realized while watching is that cheerleaders will wear the same pair of shoes forever and we will never want to get rid of them. Ballet dancers have to get like a new pair each week. Mad respect

[@luna_sunny1726]

Your tow shoes look awesome!

[@Lilly_Shaffer_]

Ballet would be soo fun to do

[@dragongirls9711]

I love your videos because I’m a ballet dancer too but I love the Nutcracker music I’m in the Nutcracker to.

[@MaddzJewls]

Thanks for this it helped me with my point shoes

[@roosahatinen]

not only do thet cost over 100$, only last like a week BUT YOU ALSO GOTTA SEW THEM YOURSELF 😭

[@nelly324]

This is a whole art project lmao 😂

Your great at this!

[@salem688]

Wait you have to sew your point shoes??? Omg the amount of effort- I'm gone dead bye

[@ririka8740]

well u js have to sew the ribbon / elastic on basically but yes 🙁 its bc everyones a differsnr size and will not need the same amount if elastic

[@f-l69]

Omg I swear like 5 days after you posted this I had my ballet concert and I literally had a dance to this song

[@dal2381]

the music in the background is march from the nutcracker

[@pickles7168]

I don't dance anymore but I was on pointe at 11 and looking back on how much work I had to do to sew my shoes 😭😭

[@peytonwarren7744]

U give me home economics teacher In a good way

[@--Munchii--]

NO YOUR KIDDING RIGHT NOW, THAT SONG IS LITERALLY THE SONG OF MY LIL SISTERS CONCERT

[@happysunnyday333]

my friend does pointe and she once didn’t sew her shoes well enough and then the strap broke causing her to fall, she then sprained her ankle

[@oliveandeleanor4777]

Not me dancing o this dance this nutcracker

Girl at the party?

so relatable lol

[@elodiekristinavlogs]

I love the asmr

[@EmmaWhyte-oz8bl]

My ballet teacher (friggin' legend!) sewed my whole class's first pair. There are only 4 of us, but still.

[@DisneyKid12347]

Why did you just do dancers dirty! I got Clara in the nutcracker and that’s the song I do my solo on❤❤

[@BeamedBy_Frost]

Girl I remember that song from one of my performances😂 from the nutcracker

[@andrewwormald8405]

slay

[@muffinkat5582]

So looked into ballet for a short period of time. Can you show us your process of breaking into your shoes? I know each dance has this like crazy process that they do to break into them.

[@Ava.parnellruns.5678]

I can tell you from my experience. Towards to beginning, if you don't aggressively beat ypur shoe, it will be a bit harder to dance in because it is stiff. But there is this time where some call the sweet spot where it is the perfect part and you can dance beautifully and comfortably. But this doesn't last long until the shoes are wearing down to dead pointe shoes. It's all about the quality at the end of the day and how often you dance. There is no right way to explain it because everyone has a different experience. I hope this was helpful.

[@screech5325]

I HAVE THE SAME SHOES!!!!!!

[@Xstacy_]

The way she just pulls the stretchy strings made me think “Did that not hurt!!🤨”

[@claire4028]

I HAVE THE SAME SHOESSSS

[@elizabrookespams]

My friend who has never taken ballet in her life thinks it would be “fun” to have pointe shoes like me Girl, no. You gotta sew them😅😅😅

[@maya-vn4py]

✨TOE SHOES ✨

[@rachelrose7027]

I think it's funny that in order to be a professional ballet dancer, you have to casually become a seamstress

[@reagansword181]

We get the same type I love the Russian pointe they fit my skinny feet so well

[@kaiah.v5623]

Some people I know use floss instead because it’s stretcher

[@k7l3rworkman97]

I love you ❤❤❤

[@onethousandpushups]

The other day I asked my friend who does ballet if she toe dances. Face palm. I was thinking of your videos!😂

[@Lex_18]

My sisters a ballerina and has been for 11 years, and she cares for her pointe shoes but when they become dead she just throws them out and completely forgets that she once loved them.

[@robertschneider5293]

Is it the nutcracker as your background music? I just heard and thought back to my perfomances to this music.😊

[@itziceyplayz2863]

Wow😮

[@gracefully_ever_after]

How do you get them not to fall off your heels since the elastics and ribbons are so far forward? That’s my constant struggle 😂

[@sl1.furysoccer]

Me: buys $90 pair of point shoes, sews them, and takes 5 years to make them feel good. Point shoes: wears down in less than 2 days 💀

[@LeeDancer28]

I just rip through the box like it's nothing I don't open it carefully like u do 😭💀

[@CHRISTMAS_GIRL863]

I love ur vids like this but ur troll vids are better to me

[@sumayyaracy6403]

When I first got pointe shoes (well it was demi pointe when I first got them but the sewing process is the same) I was a wee lil child and I was so uncomfortable buying a lighter because what would a 12 year old need a lighter for

[@ABIGAILRYNN]

Could you do a video of how you tie your ribbons I can never remember how to

[@priscillaribeiro1988]

Oh the breaking in process is brutal tho .. because you basically have to break these beautiful point shoes literally almost in half for you to actually dance in them

[@Wowaahgh]

Aaaa your smart

[@Yasmintjuhhh]

I always let my grandma sew my point shoes because me and my mom cant 😂

[@luclear_kira]

Wow ❤
