    ATTENTION!!!! This is completely normal for a pro ballerina. BUT I don’t recommend breaking the shoes this much for a beginner. Pro’s go thru so many a week they need to be broken in a soon as they get them but that also means that’s don’t last as long. If your a beginner and only doing a couple classes a week, DONT DO THIS!! So that your shoes can last a long time. U will naturally break them in.

      I'd say a little breaking-in, even for a beginner, can help. I took up pointe class again last year, I was fitted for the right pair for my feet, then I banged my shoes just a bit, breaking the shank a little so that it curves nicely and gives me a little more flexibility to go on demi-pointe. I also asked my teacher how much I could soften the box, and she told me how far I could go.
      Pointe shoes are not exactly comfortable, and even a non professional (I only take one pointe class a week) needs to adapt them. A brand new, hard shank will allow you to go up but will not have that nice curve that allows you to get on the tip of your toes yet have the support of the shank.
      But I may be atypical, I returned to ballet class at 58, after a 40 years interruption, and had 13 years of prior training. So I kind of knew what to do, and most of all how I wanted my shoes to feel. And even for a 75 minutes class, the time I spent prepping my pointes was well spent. I finished the class and even managed an équilibre ! Of course my feet hurt for 2 days, but I still went back the next week.
      Edit : during my last pointe class, june 29th 2021, my teacher asked me if I had a lot of experience on pointe, because "your position is very good, your feet look great, perfectly balanced on the tip" ! Which pleased no end, since pointes were never my forte when I was younger, and I hadn't gone on pointes in 40 years ! And the compliment came from a professional dancer and teacher with a rather impressive curriculum.
      So ladies (and gentlemen !) whatever your age and experience with ballet, if it's something you want to try, do it ! You may not like it, but you may also truly love it.

    • @luminosetea
      @luminosetea 6 років тому +471

      Peachykeen It’s called breaking in their shoes, it’s so the shank and box will support them better. For amateur ballet dancers, they don’t usually break in their pointe shoes, because they will do the same with time. This process (breaking in) is to ensure they (the professional dancers) get the most out of their shoes, although that means that the pointe shoes would die faster.

      Dancers have different preferences that would they will feel more comfortable with. So pointe shoes that are suitably flexible wouldn’t really work. Other ballerinas want them dead, hard, etc. So I’d say ballerinas would prefer customizing then instead of having a ready made one that they wouldn’t feel comfortable with.

      Но не могу себе представить чернокожую балерину в роли лебедя Одилии в балете Лебединое озеро.
      К тому же, надо делать особый цвет декораций, чтобы чернокожая балерина выделялась на их фоне не только костюмом, но и телом, чтобы на фоне декораций были видны ее ноги и руки.
      Если чернокожая балерина будет танцевать в белом костюме при затемнённом освещении, которые требуется, к примеру, для танца теней из балета Баядерка, то будет виден в основном ее белый костюм, но не она сама.
      Так что какие то минусы для зрителя при просмотре балета с чернокожими балеринами точно есть.
      Но это не отменяет того, что девушки с любым цветом кожи могут быть талантливыми и хорошо танцевать.
      Просто, из за их цвета кожи, для зрителей будет дискомфорт на представлении

    I dance for approximately 8 hours a day, and just to clarify, 3 pairs of shoes a day are a lot for any dancer. Freeds (which are what most NYCB dancers wear coming out of SAB) break down extremely fast because they are only made with traditional materials. Russian Pointes or Gaynor Minden shoes (which Gillian Murphy wears) can, however, last much longer. BUT, not all dancers can wear all brands of shoe. I cannot wear Grishkos because they are too tapered for my foot and the platform is too small, and most dancers run into size discrepancies with brands. However, Freed does make custom shoes for NYCB since they sponsor them, but the materials will break down faster (which doesn't really matter when you're not the one paying for them).

Would be nice to find out how they holf up compared to the others. Freeds and Blochs absolutely don't work for me, personally, but I found a pair of Grishkos that's pretty nice. Guess I'm just too curious to stick with something that works for me. (If it ain't broken...)

    Not EVERY ballerina will "torture" her shoes before wearing them.
    Your shoe becomes the most comfortable after some wear (any shoe, really). There is that "sweet spot" where it's worn enough to mold to your foot but not so dead that it becomes cumbersome to wear.
    For every ballerina that "sweet spot" is where she feels the most comfortable. When practicing for a show or dancing that show you want to be in the most comfortable point of your shoe. That is why, by all of the bending, breaking, twisting etc. she is MIMICKING that initial stage of naturally breaking your shoes in. But since she is starting from that "sweet spot", the shoes can only deteriorate from there and they last a day or two.
    Ballerina dancing for a company has an unlimited amount of shoes so she doesn't have to worry about costs etc. For a regular dancer, who has to buy their own shoes it looks different. The whole "breaking" ritual would happen naturally as you attend classes. Of course, there is always something that you will do at the beginning, squishing the box, cutting the shank etc. but it's nowhere near the extend shown on the video.
    The way she is prepping her shoes is very much a thing and a ton of dancers do it. I just wanted to point out that it is not a case for every single ballerina out there :)
