....follow your dream !
written by Basheva on 14.01. at 17:44:36 - as answer to: Pointe by Laurie at You should be taking ballet class about 3-4 times per week for about 2 years or so before you are ready to go onto pointe - and then only with your teacher's permission. Talk to your teacher about it. The work to get onto pointe is really not different from your regular ballet class. You have to learn to use your feet - articulate them - and you must get your alignment - placement correct in slippers, before you can be considered for pointe. As for working by yourself - it does no harm to give yourself a barre - but it can never replace working with a teacher. Basheva Answers to this message: |
