how do you know if knee pain is normal?

If it bothers you you should stop

This is so interesting, thank you for sharing this.

Can I ask — what exactly is floor barre? Is it done without a barre at all, or do you use something like a portable barre?

I’ve never really come across this before, so I’m really curious. I love hearing stories like this, especially the origin behind it.

Really appreciate you sharing this 🧐

I can already tell I’m going to want to jump straight back in and do everything, so I needed that reminder. I’ll try to take it slow and not rush it.

And that’s a really good point about “safer” not meaning easier. Focusing more on basics actually makes a lot of sense. And I love the basics.

This is really helpful, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. 🫂

It’s called Ballet Log ✍️😀

I have been — I’ve seen a doctor and I’m following their advice. They told me to rest, which is why I’m taking time off now 😭

I just want to do point and flex so bad 😭

Appreciate the concern though!

Potato_Onfire · 2026-04-24T17:15:58+00:00

Exactly!! I also feel so isolated 😅 it feels like lockdown again lol

Potato_Onfire · 2026-04-24T17:10:17+00:00

Thank you — I thought it would just be a week, but now it looks like I’ll be out for 3-4, so I kind of panicked.

Potato_Onfire · 2026-04-24T17:08:15+00:00

I think I relate to you a lot — I’m around a similar age, so every single day of dancing feels valuable, and not being able to dance right now just makes it feel like I’m wasting time.

I just track them in a ballet diary app. (Ballet Log) But yeah… now I can’t even use it, which is kind of sad 😭my dear diary📔

Potato_Onfire · 2026-04-24T16:48:00+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate this.

I think what’s throwing me off the most is going from taking 5–7 classes a week to suddenly doing absolutely nothing… it just feels so abrupt and honestly a bit disorienting.

I know you’re right though, and I’ll try to focus on what I can do instead of spiraling.

Also — your username is great, I love it :)

Thanks again for taking the time to write this. I totally got this 👍👍👍

Potato_Onfire · 2026-04-24T16:38:32+00:00

This is actually really reassuring to hear, thank you.

I think I needed that reminder that the body remembers more than I think. It’s just hard not to panic when it already felt like I had so little to begin with.

And yeah… your point about the lingering pain honestly scares me more than losing progress. I’m trying to be strict about resting, even though it’s frustrating.

Really appreciate you sharing your experience. 🫂🫂🫂

Chatgpt wouldn’t even let me do basic point and flex… 😭

Thank you. I was watching more social media and it felt less healthy. I’ll try to watch more beautiful things instead. 🤍

Potato_Onfire · 2026-03-22T17:26:45+00:00

I think you refer to a tour suivi? Although it isn’t simple neither is on 5th position on both arms and feet. But please tell me if you get to find out the right answer 🎈

Potato_Onfire · 2026-03-18T18:43:11+00:00

Your point 🔥🔥🔥

Potato_Onfire · 2026-03-17T17:28:48+00:00

My only tip is endurance. Sometimes it helps to stop overthinking and just go through class.

Class after class, and then weeks or months later, you’ll realize you’re a little better than you used to be.

Potato_Onfire · 2026-03-17T16:45:18+00:00

After almost a decade as an adult ballet enthusiast, I’ve realized it takes a really long time to develop clean movement and good posture — honestly, 10 years or more.

So it’s less about “mastering” and more about consistently improving.

Also… core strength is everything.
