Of course, I started in beginner's pointe, but as you know, pointe work is far from soft shoe work and beginner's combinations were what I needed. But I had never even dared dream that I would dance en pointe, and I began in 6 months and everyone was amazed. If it's something you want to do, you can do it! Answers to this message: |
