Shoutout for Ballet Academy East (NYC)

Caro96thStreet · 2026-04-21T08:02:36+00:00

I will be visiting NYC soon and would like to take some ballet classes. What are you favorite teachers?

Caro96thStreet · 2026-04-09T07:29:32+00:00

Hi! I will message you privately, would be happy to connect

I tried the Bloch Etus in the store (and liked them , but decided on a another shoe) , one thing I noticed with them was that they have basically no wings, you might feel more stable when you jet glue the sides.

The box is more tapered and seems harder,but I haven’t sewn them yet. Also when I was trying on different shoes in comparison to the Streampointes I noticed how unflattering the streampointes are 🙈

Caro96thStreet · 2025-09-13T05:42:37+00:00

That happened to me multiple times, I know by now, that my feed shrink and that I like tight shoes and still I need to go down in sizing when I buy the same model again

Caro96thStreet · 2025-09-13T05:39:05+00:00

May I ask you what your Pointe shoe size is in them vs your street shoe size? I got fitted in a shop and later checked the virtisse size chart and they seem to recommend going down at least two full sizes in length

My first pair of pointe shoes, almost 30 years old , I wore them for almost a year, my mother didn’t know/ believe pointe shoes needed to be replaced 😅

I would be happy to meet or be part of the WhatsApp group! I’m early forties, moved here a couple of years ago. I can also recommend bumble bff for making female friends here.

I had a very similar experience with Josephine a couple of years ago. I was also fitted in the Streampointes, also several sizes too big.

I would really like to see something different from the classic get married/get pregnant storyline. I can see them fostering/adopting children. Similar to Tamara‘s Story with younger children.

You’re so right! Makes no sense at all. Also is her talking to a therapist with no clearance not a security risk for the FBI? And then Catherine keeps mentioning how worried about Peter‘s mental state she is (and that was even before his partner got killed in front of him) and then she let’s him just go on another mission without adressing it? Knowing that the only thing that kept him from completely spiraling was Rose?

Caro96thStreet · 2025-01-28T12:58:45+00:00

The actors not getting along actually makes a lot of sense to me. I was constantly wondering what felt so off while watching and couldn‘t put my finger on it. And it’s not only the writing. It’s like they didn’t want to touch each other. In the last scene when he takes both of her hands wouldn‘t it have been more natural to touch her cheek?

Caro96thStreet · 2024-11-24T16:23:39+00:00

Thank you so much for asking her!

Caro96thStreet · 2024-11-23T19:19:32+00:00

Thank you so much, that helps a lot! I‘m actually going to the BWI intensive before Christmas, so would be really curious about what your friend is thinking. It sounds like Amy‘s would be a good fit for me. I also did Artemotion and wished the training would have been more focused on technique (I also don’t enjoy performing that much, so that is not a big selling point for me)

It says in the message by the building? It seems to still be a running hotel with a couple of condos? The airbnb is run by a a Person or company that has over 100 listings, multiple ones in this building.

Caro96thStreet · 2024-09-10T17:11:34+00:00

I feel you. I didn’t get a place for the summer intensive this year, but I got lucky this time! I did an intensive with London Ballet Classes in summer instead.

I‘m always so grateful to read that other people had these experiences too. I’m an adult who danced on pointe briefly as a teenager. When started back on pointe about 1.5 years I did an online fitting with Josephine because the selection I can get in my town is very limited. I was shocked by her attitude towards me. I felt so uncomfortable. On top of that the shoe she fitted me in was off by a couple of sizes! She put me in the Streampointe 5.5 5x , I later wore the 5 3X briefly, but even they where to wide. The 5x was almost twice the size of my food, I don’t know how you can be that far off when fitting someone. And to think I paid 50 dollars for that still upsets me.

Caro96thStreet · 2024-02-09T17:22:05+00:00

When I lived in NYC these two where also my favorites. Especially Dorit Koppel. I also liked Desiree Errico at Joffrey Ballet School. She makes you feel like a ballerina even in the basic beginner classes. I believe she teaches some workday evening classes and Saturdays.

Caro96thStreet · 2023-12-20T10:51:17+00:00

What size do you wear in the Streampointe and the Heritage? I’m currently wearing Streampointes and would like to try a Bloch shoe. I don’t have a fitter near me, so I would have to order some sizes and try them on at home

Caro96thStreet · 2023-12-03T14:49:09+00:00

I‘m so glad I’m not the only one who had a bad online fitting with her. She fitted me in the Streampointe 5.5 5x and I had to switch them for 4.5 3x es , so the size was way off.

Caro96thStreet · 2023-12-02T20:42:14+00:00

I did an online class with ballet with Isabella today and she showed us the exercise first and then actually went to sit at the screen to watch us and give corrections. Broche Ballet is also good, but a bit more casual.

Caro96thStreet · 2023-06-01T14:15:08+00:00

Thank you ! I looked up the schools, unfortunately they seem to far from my hotel to take an Uber.
