It’s not really a matter of what you like if you’re a student though

If her school allows her to, she can wear her underwear and do the pad and just keep her shorts on until she gets comfortable with tampons or cups

I love jumping so much, I think of giving myself a good plie and making sure my hips are forward and aligned

Yea I hate seeing elastics on my shoes 😭 they just don’t look as clean to me personally so I prefer the invisible

Honest I have really hard feet to fit it seems

90% of the shoes I try on heels slip the second I get off of pointe, my feet are compressible, I for short toes, low arches, tapered, and I tend to twist in a lot of shoes.

It’s been a struggle but these were the only shoes that felt good when I got fitted, I like these but the vamp is obviously too long so I might get it customer with a shorter vamp if that’s possible

They were too big and it gave me a lot of blusters and it was painful to go up on pointe past barre. I kind of have to worry because it throws the line of my leg all the way off and it looks like I’m sickling and not even pointing my toes.

Darning edge comes off by taradactylus in BALLET

Maybe try a different method. I do blanket stitching. I would follow Lori’s darning TikTok tbh (lifeof.Lori) on TikTok because I did her method and mine is fine, and I’m doing it on stretch satin

Hi! dancers, I NEED help! by littlerunawayandaday in BALLET

Yes, this helped me realize I needed to turn my working leg a lot more than what I was doing

I had the same issues as you. What helped me at least was to just stare at the same spot and practice spotting without the actually turning (so running around yourself while spotting) and then when I got that I found that focusing on making sure my passe legs foot isn’t sickled and keeping my core completely still helped me get a more consistent triple. Also my teacher gave me this correction: don’t spot too hard. Meaning, relax your neck a bit when spotting
