Anna Reuter Ballet is a performing art (obviously..), but you're right on the money--ballet dancers are athletes and ballet is a sport (kind of). Ballet dancers train for hours on end and must be in peak physical condition in order to pull off all those spins and jumps. The only reason I wouldn't consider ballet a sport is because dancers work together rather than compete against each other.. of course everyone in a company competing for a top spot, but you get what I mean.

@maya plisetskaya's left eyebrow It's an artform, but I still consider it a sport. It's physically strenuous and incredibly hard work. Hours and hours of practice in addition to dealing with constant injuries and pain, all while smiling through it and making it look easy. Add in the fact that it's competitive, with other ballerinas competing with one other to be the best and get the best parts.

My teacher, Nina Stroganova, showed me her pointe shoes. They had darned tips, white shellac inside and cement glue outside. They lasted for six years, and were still usable 40 years later. And they made no noise. I don't believe shoes have to be constantly changed.

sometimes I miss ballet, the almost unachievable perfection in every excersize and the beautiful release of emotions in every performance. The smell of brand new pointes and the sound and feel of perfecty ready to be used points for the show... it brings back a lot of stressful and peaceful memories.

I used to do pointe. It was very painful, but fun as well. 😊 It's such a beautiful art. Too bad it's expensive to be a ballerina. 😥

I did it ages 4-8 took a break and now (at 15) I'm back at it. Sure, I'm not as good (nor as limber) anymore but I'm enjoying it so much and it is amazing to get back at it. Just remember to keep going no matter what!!

I love behind the scenes videos like these, especially when the dancers themselves contribute! More pleeeease!

Wow. I have tremendous respect for these shoemakers! What a skill!!!! Simply, simply amazing! We always look at actors or dancers and think such amazing people and yes they are. But the ones who work the hardest are the production people. Bravo!!

It is almost unbelievable how many shoes the dancers go through. I don't do ballet so for the longest time I thought pointe shoes were like tap shoes; replace them when they break. It kinda sucks that they have to work in each new pair when it may last them only a week or 2 weeks.

Ballet is so gorgeous

I want a compilation of ballet destro-preparing their shoes. I admit it's kinda soothing to watch

I've never understood why pointe shoes haven't evolved a bit. When a maker has specifications for specific ballerinas, why can't they come with elastics and ribbons attached? And it seems they all get bent in half to soften them so why do they come so hard when nobody keeps them like that?

@selenieaned1829

7 жыл бұрын

Most pointe shoes don't come with ribbons or elastics attached because they are sold to a regular market as well as a professional market. So they can't tailor to every dancer. And not all shoes are hard. Some shoes are very soft and easy to break in. The problem is that if you have very strong arches the shoes with a soft shank (the part of the shoe that varies in hardness) will very easily break, the harder version won't break so quickly. But every dancer is different, that is the main reason for both the hard shank and the fact that the elastics and ribbons do not come sewn with all brands.

A lot of the times it's even a ritual the dancer develops. Like when I was dancing en pointe I always had to do my own shoes.

i watched this with a friend and when she said, "soft here *crunching sounds*" he looked extremely horrified

I just love watching how they prepare their shoes 👣.

I've been on pointe for a year!!! It's so much fun!!!

To those of you who started pointe before 11 1/2, you started to soon. Your bones weren't ready for it.

She was just using the shoe as an example I think. They are professionals and will have the correct fitting shoe to ensure that they aren't being injured while they are dancing. Xx

I don't think she was wearing her toe pads so thats probably why it's too big

You are certainly right! I started ballet when i was 2, but I quit and now I'm back and I'm about to get pointe shoes! You just need to follow your dreams, and it's never too late to do what you want with your life. Ballet was a great choice and I'm sure you'll have fun with it!

Ballet was so beautifull. I love that

I remember when my instructor told me I was ready for points then my mom stopped taking me 😢 she couldn’t afford ballet anymore..

Ballet is EXTREMELY physically difficult. Ballet is an art, however, not a sport. I don't know why some people think if ballet is not called a sport then people aren't accepting it's physically challenging. It's normally done in shows, not at competitions. Even golf is a sport, as physically lacking as it is, because it's played to win a competition. You can't "win" ballet. It's not very nice for them to always pick on football players either just because what they do in ballet is harder. Who said football was harder/better? So leave it alone. I'm not here for people to attack me, I still said ballet is EXTREMELY difficult. I just don't get this whole obsession over one word, "sport", because if it's not called a sport it's still difficult, right? If you disagree then please keep it to yourself.

I don't care either way, it's you opinion. However, I do want to point out two things. I am in color guard, which if you don't know, it's part of marching band. Color guard is considered what is called a sport of the arts. Dance is also considered as such. The second thing being that there are competitions for ballet. There are competitions for all forms of dance. It's just that most of them aren't showcased because dance is not as popular as football or soccer or other sports like that. While I do respect your opinion, I did just want to point these things out.

xCyaNx x.x no I completely agree. I've never liked seeing those, "if _____ were easier, it would be call football" cause football isn't easy. I don't play it, but I like it and I do know how demanding it is. So yeah I don't believe that ballet and football should be compared when the two are incredibly different

Guys, I just want to say that this comment feed is beautiful. This is because no one is attacking or trying to disprove others opinions. It is mature people discussing a debatable topic, thank all of you for that.

+xchocofairy I completely agree - gymnastics is a sport but it is also an art form - if you watch Federer he moves like a male ballerina - I think because it is so high brow people don't know much about it or have an aversion to it - all sport has an element of artistry its just that the scoring is easier to follow than ballet which is scored on artistic merit, which is inaccessible to the public at large.

I started ballet when I was six now I'm ten and I'm getting my pointe shoes this year!!! So happy!!!

This helped me so much I do ballet and when I perform(I'm a begginer I just started ballet on Saturday) I can put them on right this is going to help me at ballet gown need to learn how to do the splits

Here's to all of us that ballet studio's throw out for having completely flat feet and tell us we are never going to be good enough even for flat work, never point

MultiPikaBlue that's not true! So many dancers on pointe have flat feet!

I was watching a video of an ostrich chasing some cyclists, why is this in my recommended?

I am a ballerina in California and I just got my first pair of pointe shoes, I am training for a preformance. Ballet is so beautiful, I just love it I want to do it for a long time.

I love how they dance😍so beautiful 💞🍀

+Julia Calli it depends on whether u r born with ballet feet. for those who are not flat footed/ have very arched feet, they won't hurt as much as those who are close to having flat feet. some people have thicker/harder skin, which makes them feel painless. for me i have flat feet, so it stings the base of my feet when i go en pointe for a short while. my toes don't hurt when i go en pointe because I have a thicker and rough skin.

At first it does, but you get use to it. But getting new pointe shoes is like hell. It hurts so much!

The cracking of the ballet shoe is music

I love this one
