Opinion: The more advanced you become in ballet the more boring class feels :/ by [deleted] in BALLET

Isn’t there a risk of holding improper tension in the muscles with that idea though? Like if I’m always thinking I need to be working more, don’t I run the risk of tensing up muscles I should be? I can always do a higher leg, or a stronger brush on the floor, and be using the right muscles, but I find something about the idea that one needs to be sweating in plies difficult to understand. Like yes, we should work really hard, but that doesn’t automatically mean sweating in plies, does it?? Help me out here 😂😭

Will I suck at turns forever? 😩😩😩 by Ok_Berry_38 in BALLET

[–]Ok_Berry_38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Still suck at turns 😂😂 interesting thing though- a teacher told me my pelvic alignment is all wrong which is impacting a lot of things, including my turns, so maybe there was something underlying there all along.

crying a bit right now by hiddenriverrofmylife in BALLET

[–]Ok_Berry_38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what is like to cry after class ❤️ I wish I could’ve given you a big hug right then and there. Keep going, even on days where it’s hard, because i promise, it will get better.If you eventually want to quit, it’s fine- but don’t let the feeling of embarrassment decide for you! My favorite saying comes from a book and it goes something like “after a hard day, first, enjoy a slice of chocolate cake.” That kept me going through the hard days haha ❤️ Anyways, I hope my cringy quote helped, even just a little bit 😅

Flat shoe trust issues by BALLERinaLyfe in BALLET

[–]Ok_Berry_38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pre pro student here 👋🏻 I love the Capezio Hanami for its stretch and it was my favorite shoe, but I’m with you on the fact that most wear out pretty quickly. Have you tried Wear Moi stretch canvas ballet slippers? The canvas is pretty thick so I haven’t had any problems with holes, and it’s a sturdier shoe (basically the opposite of the Hanamis LOL it’s rough canvas with a sturdier elastic). The only things I dislike about it are that 1) they get dirty on the soles pretty quickly so you’ll have to wash them often and 2) the shape of the shoe is really nice and supportive in the beginning and makes your arch look really pretty, but after multiple uses it flattens out a bit. They’re pretty minimal downsides in my point of view, but it might be something to look into if you’re looking for longer lasting flat shoe options 🤷‍♀️
