What are the best pointe shoes around?

Everyone feet are different, so we all have different opinions. I know that capezio and grishko%26#039;s are good. Gaynor Minden isn%26#039;t recommended, so those are the shoes you shouldn%26#039;t buy.
What are the best pointe shoes around?
it depends on your own foot and what school you go to.


i have gaynor mindens and at my school they ARE recommended for you.


question for the answerer above: why are they not recommended for you? that is the only shoe we are allowed to wear and i think the they are very good for my feet.
What are the best pointe shoes around?
gaynor mindens, russian pointe, and grishkos are all very good.
Reply:Try going to a large dance store that carries many brands and try lots of different ones on. Everyone has a perfect fit out there somewhere, it just may take trying on 20 pairs before you find the perfect ones. There are also many types of toe pads that will make shoes fit differently. A good dance store will also have a variety of these to try on with the shoes. Good luck!
Reply:I love my bloch signature rehersals! they break in super fast though so beware! oh and the reason ganors aren%26#039;t recommened is b/c they already have the arch build in so your feet won%26#039;t be as strong.
Reply:persoanly i like capezio glisse pro


they work for many diff kinds of feet


check them out!
Reply:i use bloch sonatas and they have been a really good shoe. just try to find something that will best aid your feet!=)
Reply:it depends on your feet, but i use bloch signature rehearsal. i like them. they work for me.

Some dancers can make fun of people who are MR?Don't you think this is a ignorant world to live in?

What are some good pointe-preparation execises?!?

What are some really good pointe exercises? i want to prepare my ankles and legs and toes as much as possible! I do go to ballet class, and instead of taking 3 years to get to the level I am at, it%26#039;s taken about 1 year, so i am pretty good! I told my teacher I want to do pointe and such, but it will take 3 or so years. What are some things i can do in the meantime to strengthen my legs (like ALL of my legs like thighs, calves, ankles, toes)?


I am 13 and am taking ballet, and have for 3 or 4 years now.


Please post videos or exercises and how long to do them. THANKS
What are some good pointe-preparation execises?!?
Do a lot of plies and releves. Stand with your legs straight, and rise up to demi pointe. Do this 20 times on each leg. Therabands are also great to straighten ankles. I%26#039;m starting ballet in September, so these are the exercises I%26#039;m doing everyday. Good luck and have fun!!


P.S. I%26#039;m kinda quiet too lol=)
What are some good pointe-preparation execises?!?
ive been on pointes for a year now and now im 14.Iv%26#039;e studied ballet since i was 3.I found doing lots of rises in first on demi pointe make sure you try and stetch your toes out flat and then do some plie to stetch out.THere are lots of good videos on youtube and expert village to strengthen your feet for pointes.
Reply:I am 13 and have been on pointe for a year now. You really need to do A TON of releves and roll outs. and do the releves on one leg once u build up some strength. i would do like 20-30 on each leg and about 30 with both legs.
Reply:practice doing relieves (that snatching action), rises (going through the shoes and every part of the foot, and 脡chapp茅 (the escape action). these are the basic steps and they will not only strenthen your feet but they will also help you get used to dancing on pointe. practice your relieves and rises on one leg and both for best results. happy dancing =)
Reply:just put on your shoes and try to get in some practice. but be sure to stay next to something you can hold onto in case you slip. don%26#039;t try to go too fast though because you don%26#039;t want to hurt yourself.

It%26#039;s not just dancers who make fun of the MR so don%26#039;t stereotype because then how can you say you%26#039;re better than those of us who do from time to time make fun of the MR? Think about it. And to tell everyone not to befriend someone is low too, do you even know this girl? I looked at her answer and it is well thought and true. Just because you%26#039;re insecure about not being %26quot;normal%26quot; doesn%26#039;t mean you can take it out on someone else. But who is to say you aren%26#039;t normal to begin with, to someone you%26#039;re normal and to others you%26#039;re not, it%26#039;s part of life and something to accept.

Does this sound like a good song for lyrical/ballet solo?
i think this song is good for a dance solo if you%26#039;re doing a slow ballet solo .you could have a slow tempo and a fast tempo song which would look good try watching dance films to get ideas from them a good example is center stage or step up!

Why does my demi-pointe suck?

I practice and practice but I can%26#039;t seem to get my foot to %26quot;look%26quot; right. It just doesn%26#039;t seem to have the shape the others feet do when I%26#039;m in demi pointe. They have such pretty feet and I hate mine.
Why does my demi-pointe suck?
I have flat feet. They are not dancer%26#039;s feet either. To make bigger arches do an excersize. Sit on the floor and pointe through your foot, but dont just pointe or sickle your toes. Do this over and over and your arches well strengthen. My feet are now getting stronger. Do releves and lots of excerizes on 3/4 pointe and make sure you get all the way to 3/4 pointe.





I hope this information helped.
Why does my demi-pointe suck?
When on demi (or releve, which ever), make sure that you are completely over your toes...in other words, make your demi a very high one by having your arch perpendicular to the floor (without overdoing it and rolling forward).





Your arches will strengthen over time, and to help that along, there are some exercises you can do (and your teacher will most likely have some great ones). When ever you are just sitting or standing and not really doing anything, point and flex. Practice feeling the floor and rolling through your feet. In tendu, make sure that you move your foot through demi to point, and this will also help strenghten your arch and improve coordination of your foot.





Also, there are therabands that you can buy to create resistance training for your arches. Of course, consult your doctor/ballet teacher about getting one/using one.





Good luck, and give it time!
Reply:It could be because you have flat feet.





There are a couple of ways that you can fix this depending on how much time and money you want to invest in it.





You can get the pro arch. You can find it at www.discountdance.com. Make sure you follow all of the directions to the T and it will improve your arch.





You can put a hand towel on the floor. Place the ball of your foot on the towel. Keep your heel in place. Use only your toes to pull the towel towards your heel. Begin the movement with the muscles in your arch. This will build the muscles in your arch and give you that lovely shape. It will also improve your pointe work.
Reply:we used to stick our feet under small gaps to inprove our arches... like under the piano (gap betwen the floor and the base of the piano) it hurt but it helped! you worked on it gradually so find a place that it about 2-3cm from the floor and try and get your foot under it as your arch gets better you%26#039;ll be able to get it further under. =)

Any affordable dance classes?????
contact nearby studios and ask about their prices. if they%26#039;re all too expensive for you, ask if you can get some kind of discount if you help out with stuff. do they need people to help backstage at recitals? clean the studio after all the classes? make sets for recitals? just ask if they need help with anything and then offer to do it in exchange for cheaper classes. this will also show them that you%26#039;re serious about learning. of course, not all studios will let you do this but it doesn%26#039;t hurt to ask... you never know ;)

I did study voice but I lost my voice a few years ago and probably need to start from scratch. I have studied ballet since I was 2, then ballet tap and jazz- I later auditioned for ballet school - then switched to theater dance and partner dancing (ballroom, salsa, swing, etc) and later added belly dance- I need lots of technique work.

If your outfit allows it, do what i did, get some duct tape and wrap yourself with it, starting 2 ribs below your breasts, up to where your armpits start. It%26#039;s radical and painful (to take it off use mineral oil) but it works!

Reply:If you live in the UK - Marks and spencers do good sports bras that are good for dancing ( I%26#039;ve had the same probelm when doing a dance show). You can normally get bras for dance of dance websites or in a dance store that often can match your costume or get costumes that support your boobs without a bra.
Reply:Try this http://www.discountdance.com/frame_set.p... with your bra under it, it works wonders for all the dancers at our studio :)

If that doesn%26#039;t work, or you can%26#039;t order it, carpet tape works great, but warning, it hurts like no other. Use mineral oil to get it off.

Do you believe dance is a sport?

I%26#039;m a dancer, so I believe that dance is a sport. However, a lot of people think that dance isn%26#039;t a sport. I%26#039;m just curious to see what other people think. =]
Do you believe dance is a sport?
Some people have a hard time connecting the arts with a sport. They think that the two are mutually exclusive. Anybody that does not think dance is a sport should go take a class.





As professionals, dancers experience an equivalent injury rate to NFL players, so I definitely think it%26#039;s a sport.





Best Regards,

I think that it requires more training than %26quot;sports%26quot; and more practice. Maybe dance is even higher up than sports.

Reply:I agree with the mob. You know what the football players tell me, a hardcore believer that dance is a sport, that it is not a sport because there is no contact with each other like in football were you tackle each other. If they tried dance class for one day, I think they would die from complaining that their feet hurt!
Reply:ABSOLUTELY!!! if you don%26#039;t, try it and you%26#039;ll see that its probably one of he toughest sports out there.
Reply:OMG, do you know how many times I have had this arguement with people! Of course dancing is a sport! It%26#039;s physical activity isn%26#039;t it?!





We even have to wear tight clothing like athletes do! Dance is a creative sport; it%26#039;s movement of the body to present/ communicate an illusion, message or story, or just for the fun of it. I think beause it%26#039;s a creative arts that makes people think it%26#039;s not good enough to be classified as a sport because they don%26#039;t see the hard work or stress behind it.





Anything that requires high physical movement is a sport; running, swimming, soccor, football, high jump, dancing; there all sports, just different types of sports.





So yes, I beleive dance is a sport! =) *Go Dance!*
Reply:i believe dance is a sport. dancers are definately athlets and i know at least 12 proffesional AFL football players who take ballet lessons to learn the secret behind a dancers jump! dance is just as physical as other sports its just more graceful and beautiful. and requires just as many hours of training! its just like gymnastics!
Reply:I think that dance is a spot because you work out a lot and not everyone can do it that is such a good question because i am a dancer too and i want to know too!

well i only take 6 classes, but im eleven and i think 8 will be enough classes plus pointe could probably count as two classes bucuz it so hard. but if u really want 2 becum a professional dancer i would take 10 or 11 classes 2 work above and beyond 2 prove to everyone how bad u really want it, but if u do decide to take 8 classes make sure to work 130% becuz if yer going 2 be a professional dancer thats how hard you%26#039;ll need to work!





hope this helped! keep dancin! =)
How many dance classes should I take a week?
if you want to be a professional dancer you should be taking as many classes as you can! i wanted to be a professional dancer and i was at my dance school 5 nights a week dancing for at least 3-5 hours per day. that was on top of school. if i wasn%26#039;t at school i probably would have taken more! wishing you all the best with you dancing! =)
Reply:To be a professional dancer, you must take at least one class everyday, if you have eight then that%26#039;s fine. Just make sure you are doing something at least 5 days a week. 8 classes a week is plenty, just make sure that you continue to work and practice outside the class too. =)
Reply:i think its depend on you....you want to become professional dancer, you must spent more time on it....i think 9 classes per week is better.....i think you can get more knowledge and experience....its is better for you if you try 9 classes per week first....than if you think its waste your time, you should take 8 classes per week....
Reply:It really depends on your age and your phisical limit. If your in highschool think of how to work it into your schedule. Also be careful if your not used to taking so much classes. Injuries are very common when you over work you body.
Reply:it depends on how old you are. if you are still highschool, i would say lighten up a little on the classes. you have your studies to think of too. but if you graduated, i say go for it. if this is something you are really passionate about, you should pursue it =]
Reply:While on scholarship with Tremaine Studios back in the day, we had to take 12 classes a week. You will be so sore that you don%26#039;t want to get out of bed.





It was GREAT!





Good Luck,

Party this Sunday... And I SUCK at dancing?

Yup, it%26#039;s a dance-ish party, at least her past ones have been, so I%26#039;ve heard.


This year I made friends with her, and I%26#039;d really love to go to her party. Problem is...





I


CANT


DANCE





Not at all. I%26#039;m 16 and I%26#039;ve read almost all the hints on Yahoo Answers about this stuff... %26quot;Just let go...%26quot; and... %26quot;Practice in front of a mirror,%26quot; and all this crap... I just can%26#039;t.





And I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s that I don%26#039;t have rythum, I play guitar and do very well. But... I don%26#039;t know.





Maybe you could send me some videos of people dancing at a dance in High School? That would help A LOT, I can%26#039;t find ANY.





Gahh, just give me some tips. Please.
Party this Sunday... And I SUCK at dancing?
Just chill on the couch and chat with a friend while watching othe rpeople dance. You can pick up on how they move. Once you feel more comfortable, you can dance with them, and learn as you go. It%26#039;s always better to start with a more exciting song which allows you to dance sort of goofy. Like an Outkast song, or something. That way you get more relaxed, and it%26#039;ll eventually just become natural.
Party this Sunday... And I SUCK at dancing?
Hi, it%26#039;s all in the hips. If you sway your hips from side to side (pick a riff) then you cant go wrong. Guys love it and you don%26#039;t look silly. I should know, i couldn%26#039;t dance either till my friend told me this. Also once your confident, you can start putting your arms above your head and that%26#039;s another move. Close your eyes and just sway. You van do this to both fast and slow songs, dance, rock, anything! Just pick a beat and go for it!!!
Reply:well..im not a party type person but i can dance.. basically just find your close friends and copy them.. like just move to the beat by holdin hands or huggin some1 so it can seem like you kno what your doing. Also as long as you look happy and like your having fun noone will notice if you can dance or not.. Make sure the lights are off and get with a big crowd so no1 will notice. be confident.

How do you do a split??

Hi.. I%26#039;ve been trying to do a split for some time now. I%26#039;m like 2 or 3 inches from the ground. I just cant get there... What exercises or things can i do in order to finally do a split. I%26#039;m not in a rush to do one its just i need to learn before i go to camp.


Thanks,,
How do you do a split??
practice practice practice. and lots of stretching.
How do you do a split??
u should do leg stretching any leg stretching like try to do the split position every day and eventually ull get it, just need to pull those muscles, let that vagina split
Reply:instead of doing them on the ground do them in the air like russians or grand jetes. or, for right and left splits u can put the bottom of yer toes, on the leg in back, on the ground. oh and i had the same problem and i this worked for me so good luck and keep dancin!





hope this helped! =)
Reply:do butterfly stretches. you basically sit with your feet together in the lotus position. (almost like sitting cross-legged but with the soles of your meet joined together) and press your knees down till they reach the ground. if this is relatively simple than try to touch your nose to the ground.


oh by the way, if you%26#039;re over 12 you may find it really difficult to learn to do a split. also girls can%26#039;t really do them after a certain age because of our hips or something like that. i can still do a frontwards split but not a sidewards one anymore.
Reply:Well i got my splits down by practicing everyday and enduring the pain.





1. go in the split position everyday and try to push yourself down (don%26#039;t tear anything though)


2. Touch the floor with your palms without bending ur knees for 10 secs.


3. Touch your head to your knees w/o bending ur knees


4. sit and keep ur legs out straight touch ur head to them do them separtely too


5. Stretch stretch stretch and never give up
Reply:There is this one split stretch we use in class. Find a wall, lay against it where youir legs are on the wall (vertically) then let them down in a split position gravity will take its course http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcKPc8t9i... . oh all try partner straddle stretches theres a video on youtube that shows you one way to do them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLS5o-OYH... .Hope this helps
Reply:practice but make sure you warm up, warming up a lot helps the muscle release and easier to get farther down. runner stretch and use the wall for centre splits. Make sure your hips are square though you wont get as close to the floor, it will definitely help in the long run. also working on your arabesque helps too.





when you are on the floor in the splits stay there for a long time to stretch out the muscle and make sure you turn out!
Reply:check out this site! its really good and is helping me get mine down!

Reply:lie down on a floor near a wall and put your legs straight up against the wall and spread them out as far as you can. This is the stretch that my dance school teaches and it works REALLY well.

Good Guy's Solo Song for Lyrical?

Im doing a solo next year and I want to do lyrical. Does anyone know a good guy song for a lyrical dance?
Good Guy%26#039;s Solo Song for Lyrical?
songs by the faint are pretty good, but they may be a bit fast also try hide and seek (dunno who its by) nice slow song. very emotional.


the beatles is great too! just make sure you choose their slow and emotional songs





underground or non mainstream bands work best for lyrical

Am i right for the theater?

hi ! I am really interested in acting. It has almost become my life! I have takin dance for 7 years (tap,ballet,jazz,modern) and i am currently taking voice lessons. i have takin two acting classes and taking two more over the summer. Over all i was told i have alot of poise and a butiful singing voice ..... it is weird but wether its a small skit or a big production, i feel like something clicks inside of me and i turn into the person im acting like. i have been in 5 stge productions. I am still young and I am planning to have alot of training a head of me. thanks!
Am i right for the theater?
i dont see why not. if you like it and if youre good at it, like you said people said you were, then why not? go for it!
Am i right for the theater?
anyone who is a triple threat as yourself is right!
Reply:Why not?! I say Go for it!!





I think you defiantly have the potential to do it! Maybe have a bit more acting experience, along with singing and keep up with your dancing; you have a broad range of styles as well which is really good. It seems like you defiantly have the experience in productions if you鈥檙e already been in 5 and how you describe your feelings about %26quot;something clicks inside of me and I turn into the person I%26#039;m acting like%26quot; that not weird, that%26#039;s show business! =)





Dancing, Singing, Acting; my friend, you have the whole package.





Maybe start to audition for really big productions in two or three years (most of the touring productions request older people, unless they need younger actors, dancers, singers, ect). Participate in as many stage productions as you can and try to take on roles that will allow you to sing, dance and act all in one, that way, you will defiantly get noticed by someone. Get yourself out there and get noticed, that were big careers in the Performing Arts begins. Also, the experience is great and would properly get you big and professional jobs in the future.





Also, when your older and finished high school, maybe try out and audition for proper dance school that offer full/ part time courses.





I think you defiantly got what it takes! Hope this helps, good luck! =)
