In the short time I did pointe, I learned a LOT more about ballance than I had before. Even better was that having felt when I am ballanced en pointe and am "ON" I could tell when my partner was comfortably "ON" in pas de deux.<p>Starting pointe is like starting ballet or pas de deux all over for the first time. It was the most physically challanging thing I think I've ever done. <p>For adivice, I would say GO FOR IT! You have nothing to loose (except maybe a couple of toenails) and everything to gain. If they are auditioning for a part that may involve pointe, you can say, "Been there, done that!" Experience is always a good thing.<p>I doubt I will be able to do pointe again. A lot of work from HERE to THERE for me. But if given the chance, I'd tie on those satin shoes and do it again![/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
