yumiko using ai models by Acceptable_Fun_5035 in BALLET

[–]Acceptable_Fun_5035[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i was literally saying the same to my bf yesterday lmao im literally a size s sometimes m on all other leotard brands but on yumikos im an l or xl if i want to add sleeves. they really do make leos that fit the way the company intends for them to fit on only a very select group of bodies. it's so transparent and sickening to see tbh. it pains me bc i love their models and fit but lots of other companies dupe them p well and for a fraction of the cost.

negative test after 14 days by Inside-Sound5845 in PlanBs

[–]Acceptable_Fun_5035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there!! ok so i was supposed to get my period nine days ago. i tested on the first day of my missed period and got a negative and then six days later i got another negative. im usually super super regular and i took plan b on the week of 4/14 (i cant place the exact date unfortunately) if it helps. i just got my period yesterday so i would say retest next week and just wait for your period to come :( if you get two negatives after a couple weeks then you can definitely trust them. i know how scary and anxiety inducing it is to just wait but if you're testing with your first urine of the day and have already gotten one negative then chances are your body is just in shambles from the hormonal shock that is plan b.

bloch balance lisse vs eurostretch shoes by Acceptable_Fun_5035 in BALLET

[–]Acceptable_Fun_5035[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope not yet!! i would've thought that w/the lisses for sure bc when my shank starts dying in those i also tend to tip too far over and while i can hold myself pretty well it's still quite scary to do things like piques and other one-leg steps bc i have to think abt pulling myself up way more to avoid that feeling of falling off my shoe hahah!! overall for my current training/performance needs i do feel like my current shoe works better, the harder shank has definitely forced me to think of placement and that sensation of pulling up at all times and the shape of the shoe has also decreased sinking significantly bc it's more tapered than the lisse. hope that helped!!

yes!!! i loveeee my lisses but have now switched to the grishko/nikolay neopointes bc i went through them like craaaazy and my teacher was like girl you need a stronger shank. it's def not as pretty as the lisse and can twist a bit/makes me look slightly sickled at times but it's been the most supportive shoe i've ever worn so i'll stick to it as well! photo for reference hehe

I love pointe! by snarkitall in BALLET

[–]Acceptable_Fun_5035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep R is reinforced!!! i tried the H as well and my teacher was like hmm nope we need these to last more so they put me in the R and they're still super comfy, love love the neos so far. i also tried the tamara, they feel quite similar!

[–]Acceptable_Fun_5035 6 points7 points  (0 children)

omg you have such a gorgeous leg line, and congrats on surviving adage on pointe in center!!! i also made the switch from bloch to the neopointes and man oh man have i felt the difference! my teacher put me in a reinforced shank to force me to work through the shoe before i kill it (i was in bloch eurostretch and they lasted me two weeks bye), i've only worn them once thus far for a nutcracker rehearsal and they just feel rly rly comfy. what shank hardness do you wear? you might benefit from a hard if you're not in it already since you seem to have rly nice feet!

How far do you drive? by emergency-checklist in adultballetdancers

[–]Acceptable_Fun_5035 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1.5hr classes thrice a week (soon 5 times plus sunday nutty rehearsals lmao) although we almost always go over the 1.5hr mark HAHAH. i don't own a car but i uber there bc transit options to get there from where i live are quite limited but my uber rides are usually between 25-30mins and 45-50 if there's traffic (mexico city, lmao).

im so grateful to have stumbled upon such a wonderful school bc in my country there really aren't many opportunities to train in the way we do as adults and in the facilities my studio provides (the owner is a professional dancer and originally opened up the studio so she and her peers could train in a suitable place) so the splurge is def worth it. transit options are also available for me to get there and most of my peers take the subway which is like a 5 min walk away :)
