If it was a center adagio, then pilates would definitely come first imo)

@@sahtification I would agree that Natalie mentioned and credited Mary Helen Bowers (founder of Ballet Beautiful), who coached her and helped her develop a ballerina looking physique. . but Natalie (and the production) did not mention or credit her dance double in the film, Sarah Lane- (who like Isabella Boylston, is a principal dancer with ABT). A big part of Natalie's academy award "for your consideration" campaign had to do with promoting the idea that Natalie did all her own dancing and went from being a non dancer to being en pointe dancing in this film, a feat worthy of actings highest honors. But Sarah Lane did all the dancing in the film and Natalie's face was superimposed on, she was not allowed to talk about her involvement, something that she did not know would be required when she signed on. The Ballet world (especially in 2009) was very insular, and felt this was a betrayal of professional dancers's skills and life's work. This was such a moment in pop culture-so seldom that dance movies come out- that obviously, ten years on-people are still commenting about Black Swan in random youtube ballet videos. For a comparison, Red Sparrow, (2018) acknowledged that Isabella Boylston was Jennifer Lawrence's dance double, including her in special features, articles, publicity footage, etc. That was a better way to handle the situation.

some dancers do it so they can "feel the floor" other wise they can get injured coming down from jumps because they don't know when they land. I do think that no toe pads is pretty extreme though. However I wouldn't say she is punishing herself.

Thank you for this! especially the bridge exercises. What a treat to get tips from a Principal Ballerina.I am 65 and have taken classes since my 50s . I love the progressive footwork of the bar. Your video leaves out important sequences that lead up to things like jumps and adagio. Plus, point shoes require years of training to use! At first I thought that this was just for professionals, but then you explained things in a very basic way. A bit confusing .I stopped the video and filled in with tendus and degage. That being said ,I found it refreshing and am a new subscriber. I usually never comment at all, but I wanted to offer my opinion.

I’ve been doing dance for like 7 years now (my friend has been doing it longer) and we’ve both been wanting pointe shoes for a long time now and this year our teacher said if we work real hard we could get some (yay!), so I made it to this video and it’s amazing. I’ll be doing these exercises at home now to help and if anyone has any advice or recommendations I’m open to doing it! Love this!

Bravo! Thank you from Canada.
