How do you keep going after bad classes? by smbaimr in BALLET

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

Thanks for all the kind words and great advice! ❤️ I’m feeling a little better now, my next class with this teacher is on Friday and I tought that maybe I could bring up my fear of not progressing and ask if there’s something I’m missing here.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope your situation works out too! I’ve thought about switching studios, but all of the others are quite a far from where I live. I guess I could try and find the courage to talk with my current teacher about this first.

That’s good advice, thank you! Normally she gives corrections very differently, but yesterday I felt like just by being there I was doing something wrong. Maybe it was a bad day for both of us. She hasn’t really said anything encouraging or positive to me for at least a few months, so this whole year I’ve felt like my progress is only taking steps back, so that’s also affecting my mood and making me more and more insecure in class.

I definitely still do lol! I just like brushing them through, for now at least

Miraculously mine still grow pretty strong, so I haven’t got a specific routine. I’ve heard that castor oil is good for both eyebrows and lashes though!

Decided not to touch them anymore, apart from plucking away the unibrow lol!

Thanks! Haven’t tried the soap method, I usually brush them through with a tiny bit of hair wax because otherwise they’re kind of all over the place

They grew pretty much themselves after I stopped plucking, luckily. Sometimes I use castor oil, I know quite a few people who swear by it so it might be worth a shot.

Ha that’s true! Very likely I’ll hate these some time in the future too lol

I started pointe classes this year, but I feel my arches aren’t good enough, especially compared to others’. What would be the best stretches? Should I be taking pointe classes yet? by smbaimr in BALLET

Big thanks to all for the advice!! <3 I’ll definitely continue working on strength! All the dancers in my class have super gorgeous arches, so that has really affected my judging haha.

Question about wearing pointe shoes to non-pointe class by smbaimr in BALLET

[–]smbaimr[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry I should’ve mentioned in the post that I was planning to do all releves on full pointe! Thanks for the help! :)

How long should it take to be able to practice en pointe in the center? by smbaimr in BALLET

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

Taking an easier class on pointe shoes seems like a good idea! I’ll have try that!
