Position:Home>Dancing> I need your help with pointe?Question: I need your help with pointe!? Okay so i'm 13 and i have been dancing for 10 years now(this is my 10th year) I'm am going on pointe soon and i wanna know how it feels!. and do you just like go up on them or do you do something else!?
i'm pretty confused!.Help please!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm not going to lie, it is going to hurt!. A lot!. It's similar to rising up on releve, except that you have to roll all the way on top of your platform of your pointe shoe, and make sure to turn your feet out and point your toes!. Make sure you point all the way through your foot when you are en pointe!. Particularly, if you have a high arch, this will be hard for you, because when you just arch your foot, you get a similar effect!. However, when you point all the way through your foot, it will feel better, be more stable, and look better!. I would recommend wearing ouch puches, and possibly a jelly toe on your big toe, depending on the type of shoe!. Wear your tights footed to prevent blistering, and if you need to tape, I would suggest taping your toe next to your big toe, your pinky toe, and your bunion area!. If your feet blister easily, cut open Advil liquid gel pills and pour the "liquid gel" on them!. Soak your feet after!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com it hurt a lot i've been doing pointe since the beginning of last summer and it still hurts!. Think of putting all your weight on the tips of your toes!. Ouch, right!?!? You'll get blisters and they'll turn in to callus which will give your feet more padding!. i'm not gonna lie and tell you after a few months you get used to, cause you dont'!. all i can suggest is to make sure you are properly fitted for shoes and have good toes pads ( i suggest "Ouch Pouch", they work the best even though they cost about twenty dollars) if you want a good brand of pointe shoes, i suggest Freed of London, they're great!! Hope This is Helpful oh, also, the pain you get from pointe is on the tips of your toes and it hurt a lot cause you don't generally put weigh on the tips of you're toes, right!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com well i started pointe this year and the forst time i went uip was really fun and then i stated getting blistrers on my pinky toes for them rubbing agaisnt the shoe so i put some of that fabricy tape stuff around my pinky toes!. !. !. masking tape alsoi works!. !. !. sound weird but it reduces friction :D anyway put a small amount of lambswoll around your toesWww@QuestionHome@Com |
