I RATE YOUR FAVOURITE DANCE PRODUCTS | *CONTROVERSIAL*

[@stellaadamson]

Can you rate popular pointe shoe brands? Like mirella, gaynor miden, Russian pointe, capezio, bloch, so danca, and others.

[@ananyamoses6952]

and Grishko

[@kinsleycaroline56]

all of my shoes (ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap) are from capezio 💀

[@maggieholland8202]

Different brands will work better for different dancers based on foot shape, flexibility, strength, habits, and of course preference. So her rating them wouldn't be particularly helpful for most people because no two dancers are the same

[@caitlynway5274]

@@maggieholland8202 Exactly What I was thinking.

[@madelineb5184]

I think it would be cool to see what Claudia thinks, but the thing is her feet are going to be different from all of ours, and different brands will have different opinions from each person, so I don't know if a dancer will become biased from hearing specifically what Claudia fits in pointe shoe-wise. That may not be good. What she thinks about herself in them will not benefit you at all, you will need to have the opinions of professionals seeing the shoes on your feet to get a good idea of what is good for you

[@lizsbohodreamvlog2905]

Usually people wear bullet pointe skirts on their hips, at least from what I've seen! I was told wearing a short skirt on your hips makes your legs look longer (as opposed to the popular thought that high wasted skirts make your legs look longer, which they can in some instances but not in ballet). I also think the 'low cut' leotards are a very American aesthetic. All of the fashionable American ballet students on Tiktok and KZbin have very low cut leotards (with very high cut legs) to make their torsos look smaller.

[@Sophia-yo5wv]

im american and i actually feel the low cut is like not a thing for us XD. its such a trend for the highcut and least where i live in america

[@melissarhoades8064]

Learning ballet in the late 60s, I grew up using leather Repetto flats. When I went back to ballet class last year, after a 39 years hiatus, I sewed new elastics on the last white leather Repettos I had bought, years ago, which had not seem much action and were still ok.... My teacher got one look at them and suggested I try "softer" shoes... So I bought from my school store a pair of Capezio Hanamis... I think I will never change for any other flats ! They are amazingly supple, comfortable, like a second skin ! They make your feet look so good ! So I have bought another pair in black. Great shoes ! I have to admit that both clothes and shoes have evolved tremendously since the late 70s, when I had stopped taking classes. Back then it was mostly black or pink very basic leotards and tights, leather flats and pink knitted cardigans and leg warmers. Nowadays, there is so much variety in cuts, colors and materials ! I splurged on gorgeous Capezio and Bloch leotards ! Although, as a quite busty lady, I do find it hard to house my assets in a comfortable yet firm environnement. It's a drag trying to find a dance bra that holds enough volume yet stays discreet. I guess dancers are not supposed to have boobs !

[@rgbow_]

im a few months late but that's so cool! i think the lack of size variety in ballet clothing today is a big problem... not all ballerinas are built the same!

[@RhonaMiller]

DO A PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!! I could give you so many more brands that I think you need to review and get an honest opinion on and get it out there

I think the blue block shoes look better on than the pink Energetics.

[@abfarrow3596]

The little bootie things, at least what a dance acquaintance uses them for, are for wearing over your dance shoes into class so you can just take them off and you're completely ready for class.

[@graceskowronski3476]

I wear my bullet pointe low almost right on my hip bones...idk I like how they look when worn at that height.

[@pinkfloydbaby2681]

At first when she said warmup booties, I thought she said Walmart booties

[@heyryanisonx3141]

Omg thanks for clearing this up for me 😅 I was getting confused

[@morecoffeeNOW]

That red chiffon wrap skirt brought back soon many memories. I'm in my late thirties so when I danced, it was in those short wrap chiffon skirts. Color to match your leotard (Mirella) to denote class level. This was long enough ago that we had to cut our own holes in the foot of our tights for pointe. I don't remember them being commercially available any other way. I miss dancing!!! If it weren't for the multiple labral tears in both of my hips, I'd go back even now. Not at the same level obviously, but some kind of adult class. Just thinking about it put a smile on my face.

[@jurrassitol15]

I love my Bloch booties...down jackets for my feet! So comfy that i wear them around my house...agree with you with the lucky Leo leotards...i bought two and ended up only wearing them once and selling them as they they were too short in the torso . I’ve always worn at adult large because of my long torso, and the lucky Leo’s ended up cutting into my shoulder (so much so i got red marks 😢). And the arm holes were way too small for me too. Capezio i found is the best length for my torso, but my favourite Leo of all is eleve!

[@anoelle5155]

For me basically all of the girls at my studio wear the warm up bootys or how ever you spell it

[@emmyc_bubbletea8511]

Seeing that some of these products have not changed in such a long time is kind of shocking (of course I never want to discredit brands for the hard work they put into their businesses!). I know that different brands are suited for different people and body types, but I am so thankful that you put so much work, time, attention, and care into your collections! You not only come up with incredible designs, but are willing to listen to us and make changes to be sure that we are comfortable and CONFIDENT in class. Thank you to you and your team!! ❤

[@Emily-ev8ou]

I just think that a lot of brands do not even really ask for feedback the way you do. Because your Brand stands for you, Claudia, and of course you care a lot about your brand. People know you and your brand stand thogether, you know? And I think, that one can grow so much better with feedback.

[@Shannie92]

And I’m just a non ballerina amazed by how you can put your booties on one foot and stay balanced on the other. 😂 😂 😂 LOL

[@Estertje93]

As slim but somewhat tall (172cm) adult dancer I always order an adult medium! And even though I am not super busty I still get the underboob seam in the wrong place sometimes. Most leos will stretch after one or two wears though, which can help.

[@emmayork4606]

Pretty much everyone at my studio has the booties and we mostly use them for performances because we use the local high school so we dont get wax on our shoes

[@sofiesanchez8623]

Capezio Leo’s are the Leo’s my dance school using for like our dress codes and color schemes based off our levels and hey are such good quality! I have always like capezio the best!!!!!

[@madisonwu4413]

U should do a subscriber leotard design contest for People to send in leotard designs, recommendations for the Leo’s/complaints about other leotards and u pick ur favorite out off all of them and make it.

Capezio Hanami are so comfy and amazing. I started ballett 4 years before (im 45 now) and startet with some full-sole leather flats. Because in Germany the Hanami a quit expensive, I used a bloch split-sole flat after 6 month, but never felt very comfy. After 1 year I switched to Hanami and I will never change this again.

You just have to size up depending on the fabric and styles. But I haven’t tried many brands so it’s kinda unfair hahaha Quick video idea haha but it would be so cool to see you review some discount dance products or some “fancy” leos like Yumiko and Elevé

[@l_e5988]

My teacher likes bullet point skirts because they are short, so she can see what we are doing and correct us better (she also doesn’t really like when we wear Extras like shorts and leg warmers although she does allow it in some classes). I like the bullet point skirts because I have slightly shorter and larger legs so when I wear it with a high cut Leo it gives an illusion that my legs are longer.

All dancers I know own the warm-up booties because they protect your shoes from the elements and whenever you walk across the parking-lots they don't get wet. Those booties are kind of like snowshoes. They're just great to have, and you can slip them over ballet shoes - they fit fine - and go out to dinner after class or walk around after a dress rehearsal. They're really handy and very popular.

[@MarijeK]

Wear a Faustine instead of the Galate from Wear Moi, and in a medium. Those are French sizes, for anyone bigger in any sense: size up. The model looks exactly the same, but without the seam. And it comes in almost all the colors, and is cheaper as well. We changed the uniform at our ballet school, we wear Faustines now!

[@daisyharding5140]

“Go capezio “ “yeah you go gurlfriend” 😂

[@chloeyoung3911]

I have several Bullet pointe skirts, and I have the same problem with the size. I think they're just a little too short. I wear a size small in most everything, but I've learned that with Bullet pointe, it works to order a medium and fold the waistband over once or twice. That way, it's a better length, and folding it over helps with it being too big in the waist!

[@siennadwyerr]

This was such a good video. So interesting to hear your thoughts on the items 😆💖

[@kaykomckayface1097]

Ohhh I know why now... I've got 3 of your aurora leotards. I loved the fabric but the bust line was just too low for me... Now watching you review the wear moi Leo of the similar style, I think I know why. It might not be because the bust size(I'm a E/F cup... ), but rather because we have different "shoulder to bust" measurements. Mine is really short (busts comes up higher), like my wedding dress maker told me. And unfortunately with a tiny waist down there, I'd like more fabric up high for my boobs too. So I think that's why I felt the aurora leo bust line is way too low for me, but wear moi is just perfect. 🤔 So it's not aurora Leo's problem it's my body being difficult. 😅
