Hello my sweet ballet dancers! Today we are taking a quiz to find out if you're ready for pointe shoes. Pointe shoes are so exciting and there's no other feeling like finally getting the YES from your dance teacher. But, there are a few things you should know when getting ready for pointe shoes. You want to make sure you're the best age to get pointe shoes, you have ankle and foot strength, control, foot articulation, and balance. Learn how to get your feet ready for pointe shoes and what to expect when you are a beginner pointe dancer. Don't forget to pop over to my video that shows what happens at a first pointe shoe fitting, so you can be prepared and feel at ease when you are buying your first pair. Once you get them, check out all of my beginner ballet class follow alongs, foot flexibility stretches, and balance tutorials. Happy dancing my loves! xo Time Markers For Easy Viewing :) 0:00 - Live Ballet Workshop Info 1:00 - Intro 1:12 - Checklist 1:40 - Age 2:40 - Strength 3:25 - Control 4:18 - Foot Articulation 5:29 - Balance 6:49 - Alignment 8:30 - Outro
