Its been almost two years since I’ve been in a ballet class and I’m going to be taking lessons again soon. Here I was just trying out my new pointes, Suffolk Apprentice. At the time I wasn’t really focusing on the ribbons or technique or anything, just testing and feeling out my new shoes..

You should tie your ribbons on the side of your ankle, rather than on your achilles tendons.
try not to sickle as much. You are leaning onto your pinkt toes. Lean more on your big toes and you’ll be good!
You need more arch flexibility probably.
Do the stretch where you put your foot under a couch, and hold it.
Look, this is pointless. This is good for just trying out the shoes after that long a break, and I’m just saying, sh should fix the sickling issue.
I’m sorry but how is my last comment rude in the slightest. I think you should learn to back off a bit!
I’m not dissing, I’m just saying, there are things she could work on to make it better. No need to be rude.
And likewise it is not fair for you to dis mine. I appreciate you recognise you dont know everything, But i know a fair bit about ballet too. so dont tell me not to do something that oyu are doing yourself. Just accept that this girl is not a pro and is doing v well for her time!
You’re right, I don’t know everything. I know what ballet has taught me, and I’d say I know what sickling is. I”ve seen worse sickle than this. I’ve seen far better flair. SO really, from my standards it’s bad while in the classical method of crating said standards, this may be perfectly acceptable. I don’t think it’s fair for you to dis my opinion.
I never said she didnt sickle. I said she didnt’ sickle BADLY like you said. And just because you have been dancing 13 years doesn’t mean you know everything. And calling someone blind is rude, i never insulted your ability to see.
Excuse me, but I’ve been on pointe for thirteen years. I’ve danced Clara in nutcracker nine times. All of my dance teachers have taught me how to see sickling, and I don’t think it’s fair for you to call me a loser when you’re blind.
good job! i can’t get over my box all the way any advice anyone???
you were holding onto the wals when you were turning
She is not sickling BADLY! Get a life, and dont give out criticism u know nothing about. Loser
i’ve did ballet since i was 3!

bad sickling! get on your big toes!
to deeper pliés, it will be easier to do the echappes if you do
