pointe shoe fitter reacts to TIK TOK 15

[@too_tired_for_this]

Im a theater person, and once we had a ballerina playing Cinderella. We couldn’t get her to run across the stage normally, she always ran like a ballerina. It was so funny. She tried so hard, but she couldn’t do it! 😅❤

[@fennaknaepen9906]

Once you dance, you cant run anymore. It's Scientifically proven!!! 😂😂

[@niagara6015]

@@fennaknaepen9906 Not true. I started ballet at 8yrs old and I also competed in track running until high school, I used to compete at National level in my country. Ballet also helped me to be a better high jumper. I danced into adulthood.

[@fennaknaepen9906]

@@niagara6015 The exception confirms the rule. But anyways, it's just a joke everyone in dance class makes. When our teacher says we have to run to our next spot, suddenly we want to run elegantly but that looks hideous. It's very funny.

[@qwmx]

@@niagara6015 To be fair, I think it's like a subconsious locomotion thing You dance and run very little, muscle memory kicks in and for some people, they'd rather dance than run, it's because your muscles are trained like that. I remember when I was a kid, I find skipping a lot more easier because I skipped a lot, but when I skipped less, I find it easier to run.

As someone who has chronic knee problems watching people essential wreck their legs by going "en pointe" or fall and hit their knees like that person wearing "croc pointe shoes" it REALLY bugs my knee. I really hope everyone who reads this is being safe! Whether that be in ballet or through the very dangerous winter some of us may be experiencing.

Emotional running!! Yes!!! That reminds me of one day in my modern class in college where we ran for about half the class because "running like a 'normal person' gets beat out of you in dance classes, and I want y'all to look 'normal' when you run." She said we'd move on from running once we looked like "normal people." We kiiinda looked normal after a while, but I'm pretty sure the real reason we moved on was because she gave up. 😆

[@zetsuki4207]

As someone who's had four fractures in her feet, all on separate occasions, the past like 6 years... (I am still recovering from the last one about three months ago.) This is just insane to me, i roll my ankles just walking on flat ground... I have small feet, slightly overly flexible ankles and I have a serious case of the Bad Lucks. I wish i could do... well ANYTHING these dancers can.

[@andynonymous6769]

I'm in the same boat: weak ankles and a collapsed arch, which is just something everyone in my family has. I probably will never go on pointe even if I started training for that at a young age, but I do folk dance instead, which is based on ballet in the culture I'm doing it from, and I love it

[@UnicornsPoopRainbows]

Omg yes! I have hyper mobility and am super clumsy. I twist my knees and ankles all the damn time. I just get told to lose weight…like that is going to help my super flexible joints or clumsiness 🙄 I’m not even obese!!

@@UnicornsPoopRainbows Omg same! But it's mostly just my ankles... But yes the whole weightloss thing is BS! I'm overweight yes, but not unhealthy at all!

Even if i have lost over 33lbs so far.

I would 1000% take a class that was Just Barre. I have TERRIBLE balance and I Do Very Poorly at center work, but BARRE? I LOVE the strength-building (and balance and body-awareness-building). Barre was my FAVORITE part of the adult ballet classes I got for myself when I was still thin enough not to SUPER-damage my knees by doing ballet (or walking, or running...).

I love these videos! My ballet career did not happen, because of a congenital knee problem you have to grow out of. My sister danced, though, at Cleveland Ballet (as a student and in some performances) under Ian Horvath and Dennis Nahat. Fond memories!

[@twistedbambi2370]

If you did indeed grow out of it, at least you still can have a lifetime of ballet ❤ even if it is not as a pro. I have a congenital problem that is the other way around - it gets worse when you are all grown. So for example, I will never run again and can't do jumps

I haven't done ballet since I was 8 and I have a lot of joint pain but these videos really make me want to get back into it. My main issue is I'm 17 and all the beginner classes around here are geared towards young kids so I can't really get back into it 🥲

[@shenenigans2037]

There might be adult beginner classes you could try! I have some near me, and often they'll let older teens join too if you ask. You also might be able to find a mixed-level teen class, but those are harder to find. Lots of colleges also have beginner classes, if you end up at a college! And I always suggest Kathryn Morgan's KZbin classes if you want something to do at home. Sorry if this is a lot, but I get very excited about people wanting to try ballet at a nontraditional age, and always want to encourage as much as possible!!

[@emhu2594]

ALB has great online technique classes

[@stinersthewinner]

I would definitely look at a college course if you are going - dance should count as a phys ed credit. (I took modern and it was so so fun) There are also classes on KZbin you can do but of course that doesn't have anyone to check your form!
