@@jeanettecook1088 I’m sure she eats more than that, they usually get a lunch break. I think she meant that’s just the snacks she keeps around. I keep snacks in my dance bag but as far as actual food I always go and get something on breaks
Or reduce the price. Dancers have to be able to break in their pointe shoes, so I don't know how easy it would be to make something that lasts longer since they are meant to break down a bit.
The cost is because they are all handmade, and since she is with a company they pay for them. There are options for longer lasting pointe shoes, but most ballerinas prefer traditional shoes.
To be honest: They last a long time if you aren’t a professional dancer. If you are in middle and high school and you get pointe shoes they last a long time because you are dancing 3- 4hours a day for lets say 6 days a week if that. Professional dancers dance 15 hours a day, 6 days a week maybe more. They are using them more so they wear down faster. The upside honestly is that usually companies will have the girls sign their shoes, donate them/auction them off for charities or fundraisers for scholarships.
Yep same here. Grocery store worker and i am on my feet either just standing or walking around helping customers. I average about 30,000 steps per day thanks to working in an absolute gigantic supermarket. My legs and feet always hurt so much at the end of the day. I can’t wait to try out these stretches and exercises
@@audrey9561 They help and so does anything that strengthens your core. Back problems are common for those who stand a lot. I'm a teacher and I think half of department has had severe back problems. Orthotics also help but get a physical therapist to help with your gait. Also? Thank you for keeping us all going during the pandemic. It's much appreciated and not thanked often enough...so THANK YOU !! 💞
I was so relieved by that. I'm not a ballet dancer and have only ever seen the feet of ballerinas in movies/tv series. And they always show them to have crippled looking toes and possibly even loosing nails. I'm very relieved to learn, that's not the inevitable fate of every successful ballerina.
@Delphine Schowalter but I am not flexible I mean I can reach for my toes but I can't go all the way down on my splits. I have the least flexible back and arch I don't have ballet schools in my town.
@@btsnaesarang3839 but flexibility takes training, practice, and time! it's okay if you aren't at first, but with dedication, it's highly possible that you can do it!
Ooo, totally gonna buy toe spacers for my feet for after I spend hours in my climbing shoes, which also scrunch up the toes into a point! Thank you for the advice!! ^_^ I've never done ballet and probably never will, but the crossover with climbing (stretches, muscle recovery, etc. - is actually why I watch Scout's videos♡)
The fact that they mentioned that scout uses arnica gel and cbd balm before using her gua sha made me laugh bc of all the comments under her morning beauty routine
@@JudyCZ gua sha has ZERO permanent benefit in all its literature. I mean, its helpful as a vehicle to massage when your fingers give out, but it doesn't provide anti-aging benefit or anything.
A while ago I saw a video kinda like this with her in it as well! I'm not a dancer nor do I want too but this is so great to watch! Love her personality!
I love love LOVE when she does videos! I always learn something new. Her tips for muscle repair is so wonderful just for the every day exerciser. Would love to see more of her!
seven hours on pointe a DAY.... i get 30 minutes on pointe a week and 1 hour a week of ballet along with like four or five other classes.... that tires me out, i cant imagine seven hours a week on pointe. also, i couldnt imagine going through a whole pair of shoes every THREE DAYS. you go girl i know that must be tiring
As an athlete(lacrosse) I can say KT tape works, I have an ankle injury, so it is constantly stressed and hurting. I use KT tape and put it on before every game. There are different types of variations of how you tape your muscles. I recommend going on UA-cam to find the perfect way to use it., trust me it works
Thera bands are another amazing must have. Physio therapist used them regularly through recovery in process of healing. Out if habit and necessity I too carry a similar bag with what I call a healthy on your feet essentials
Amen ! Her confidence about that is super refreshing because Not shaving or arm pit hairs honestly isn't that big of a deal. I do the same thing unless I absolutely have to because it is just hair and it isn't really going to hurt anyone Also for some people if they are constantly shaving they get really bad ingrown hairs that can turn into MRSA if ur shaving daily!
I do ballet, I’m only 13, and have only done it for 3 out of 6 years of my dance career. I’ve seen some things that go into professional dancers bags. But jeez your bag is so small!!
Toe spacers are the best and a necessity for when taking time off your feet. I have an older contraption/device that helps pull your large toe out and allowing smaller toes to spread. Toe rescue is key
Not a ballet dancer over here but I am a waitress and a lot of the muscle recovery part seems very helpful for me as well. Will try that out for sure! 😸
I’m new to ballet 🩰 and I didn’t know what to put in my bag and I watched this vid a million times and luckily I have most of these things 😊 now watching it for the third time fifth time watching a month later I’m still watching this second time watching this today well doing homework 📄
I totally understand this because I take ballet and tap so we have to be prepared before performance starting and everything we stretch takes pics and then go into performance once we are ready
I love watching Scout dance or talk about dancing! 💜🩰 I had to pause the video for a sec at the 11:20 mark, & I thought she had a sucker in her mouth while practicing. Lol ..I thought, "Well, you go girl!" 😂
This is why ballet has such a diversity problem. Even if you get past the cost of lessons/initial supplies, once you start to get good/old enough, you're going through minimum $200 a week just on pointe shoes. For YEARS. I know companies pay for them once hired, but that's brutal.
I may not be understanding you completely, but for younger dancers, we usually only get new pointe shoes once every two or three months, unless your training a lot for a performance. The reason why they go through shoes so much is because they are training so much. Same thing goes for flat shoes, my flat shoes typically last me 6 months to a year.
You don't go through this number of shoes unless you are at the professional level, at which point the company pays for them. Amateurs don't dance on pointe seven hours a day.
Everybody needs to drink ballet water and skating water! It seems that ballet and skating are alike. Skaters have ballet training as part of off-ice (ice) or off-floor (quad or inline roller) training.💕
@@KittyCat-dp2lc Still, there are a lot of professionals out there and all of them needing new shoes every other day is absurd. You would think somebody would invent something more lasting.
Someone did. Gaynor Mindens last a lot longer and basically do not require as much breaking in since they come in different states and customizations for dancers.
I just looked up the cost if she's going through these shoes every 3 days and constantly is revolving them she's easily spending 3K a month on them. OMG.
the fact that Scout looks stunning without makeup is unreal
Ikr
Yass
@UA-camLoser lol what? They were complimenting her appearance :/ why are you so angry
She is yes, beautiful.
Most ppl look better without makeup.
She looks sooo healthy. What a fantastic role model she is for young dancers.
Is no one going to talk about how big that bag is and how much it holds
Or, how she manages a 7 hr workout on one banana, some water and coconut alone ???
@@jeanettecook1088 I’m sure she eats more than that, they usually get a lunch break. I think she meant that’s just the snacks she keeps around. I keep snacks in my dance bag but as far as actual food I always go and get something on breaks
I know right?
Exactly omg 😆
My bag is that big.......... dancers hold a lot of unnecessary things to “normal” people 😂
Someone needs to create a longer lasting pointe shoe. It’s ridiculous how much they cost.
Or reduce the price. Dancers have to be able to break in their pointe shoes, so I don't know how easy it would be to make something that lasts longer since they are meant to break down a bit.
The cost is because they are all handmade, and since she is with a company they pay for them. There are options for longer lasting pointe shoes, but most ballerinas prefer traditional shoes.
Gaynor mindens are a great option they last me about 5 monthes but i only do abot 5 hours a week and they are about 140$

Ballet companies provides free pointe shoes for their dancers :)
Tell me why I thought she literally meant she wears a lot of hats and expected the bag to be full of hats
Well, you're not alone. I was wondering why she even mentioned the hats as she wouldn't need them for rehearsels lol
Thats what I thought too lol

Her feet are perfect! They don't look like ballerina's feet at all. She must take really good care of them
This idea that ballerinas foot are ugly and bruised is not true. The foot is one of the main parts of a dancers body, we have to take good care of it.
I was so relieved by that.
I'm not a ballet dancer and have only ever seen the feet of ballerinas in movies/tv series. And they always show them to have crippled looking toes and possibly even loosing nails.
I'm very relieved to learn, that's not the inevitable fate of every successful ballerina.
i disagree, my feet are pretty gross, especially right after practice, but i agree that it doesn’t happen to everyone, and that her feet are amazing
I was thinking about that, but she is probably also lucky with genetics.
My feet are really well compared to some dancers but people still comment that my feet are janky. (I’m a dancer)
Scout is the reason I watch Glamour videos
I used to be a ballerina and ohhhhhh the tennis ball!!!! It always feels SOOOOO good on tired feet. Watching this brought back memories thanks :D
I'm pretty sure she used Hermione's charm on that bag to hold all the stuff.
Definitely!!!! 💖
@Fayth Osborn Beauxbatons? :)
Yes
so we're not gonna talk abt how perfect her archers are overall but most i her jumps???
Love how organized she is and how effortless her narration is. Please do more videos 😍😍
I love her explaining ballet things 🥰
She is so informative, positive and fun to listen to!
If you'd asked me to guess this woman's profession, I would have said surfer. She just looks like a surfer to me!

I am always impressed that all dancers customize / destroy their beautiful new pointes with cutters, glue, tapes , knives, pencils or gum balls.
So that bag.....it’s a TARDIS??? Wow!!
