Ballet Exercise 2 Posted by: KatieMargerison
Video duration: 40 seconds This will strengthen your ankles and calves and make it easy to go up onto relevé without a barre. You can also do this with one leg and the other foot couped behind it then switch legs( this is much harder ) The song is "Sword Dance" Related: ankles, ballet, barre, calves, exercise, katiemargerison, pointe, releve, strengthen Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

i have a few questions because i'm about to go on pointe and i need to know about pointe shoes. I have heard that they are comterable is that true? Is it better just to buy a different pointe shoes? If so what kind? Lastly do you recommend them? If not why? Asked to anyone who sees this. ANSWER BACK ON MY PAGE BECAUSE I WILL FORGET THIS EXACT VIDEO! I will be asking other people just to get a group result.

i used to have the very same problem with the serenade shoes cause the have a pretty long box but I needed them cause my feet are very flexible and I have high arches and u can only get serenade and one othe style with a strong shank.... I switched to the bloch sonatas for a while cause they have a shorter box but my feet were to strong so with professional training they wore out in about a week or two... I use the bloch ones with tmt now!!! and they work very well for me!!!

Thanks alot! yeah I fractured my ankle in the begging of the year and so I am still trying to strengthen my leftankle, but thanks for the advice!
By: Nathalie2905. on 24 Oct 08, 20:21:01
These point shoes are looking better on your feet! Few things: try to get back to the positions, straiten your knees (because if you don't they will hurt in a few weeks!) and your right foot is stronger so try to work extra hard on your left one. But I also have to say: very good for the short time you are on point :) xx
By: copeo123. on 24 Oct 08, 11:25:15
no affence but u need to work on your pointe work
By: sweetdream668. on 20 Oct 08, 15:57:19

By: EliseCharlotte. on 20 Oct 08, 15:38:04

By: KatieMargerison. on 20 Oct 08, 15:08:03
thanks, my gaynors were pretty comfy but put lots of weight on my big toe, also they made my feet look really weird, so my teacher said I should wear a different brand. so I liked them they were just ugly on me! haha
By: chookie346. on 20 Oct 08, 07:24:18
