wow, great job! and the jumps look amazing! Also, in response to your question: I calm down before bed with meditation.
Thanks so much!! I need to give meditation a try!
Guided meditation or sleep hypnosis is amazing!
Oh meditation! Good idea!
So happy to see your progress!!! You're looking gorgeous on pointe!!! keep it up, girl!!! XOXO
Thank you!!!!
Looking good there, love your decipline and dedication. You're very inspiring to me.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Love it. Very inspiring
Thank you!
Hey, did you ever figure anything out with the white leo? Maybe you could try out a lace bralette. Amazon has some cute ones with padding in the front.
Hi Beth! Thanks for checking in! A lace bralette is a good idea! So I have a nude leotard that fits perfectly underneath and doesn't disturb the cute back line! But now I'm dealing with the obstacle that is the shelf lining not covering my chest completely so I've got to take it out and/or replace it! I have a new vlog that went up this morning where I talk about this! :)
Where is this?
Oklahoma City Ballet :)
Ballerinas By Night wish they had this in NJ
I just watched this video on falling asleep. These guys are great.
Love Bob & Brad! Definitely will give that a watch!!
Jana you are a beautiful dancer! I am a bobilicious blonde like you... you don't have to be supertiny to be in ballet!!! Go Jana!!! I am in Grishko Dreampointe SH, they lasted 6 months, I used them 6 hours a week.
Thats girl, haha! Boobilicious blondes!! Sounds like you've found some great shoes!!
That was supposed to be "thanks" not "thats" lol :)
@@BallerinasByNight Yes, the vamp is really high and the shank is flexible so you don't have to break them in. You know... the longer they last the better. And I swear, I don't work Grishko 😄
Yesssss pointe work!! 👏🏻
Thank youuuu!
Oh I have been trying to investigate adult ballet intensives. It’s something I never got to do growing up and dancing. Can’t wait to hear your plans!
We've been compiling a list of adult ballet intensives on our blog if you want to check that out! ballerinasbynight.blogspot.com/p/find-intensive.html
To fall asleep - I just start reading in bed and eventually get too tired to continue. But hey, I got three kids so I have no problems falling asleep (when I can...)
Good idea! I can either way with the reading - immediately fall asleep, or get so hooked I can't put the book down haha!
Cheer was so good! Was very surprised. When it ended I was sad.
I think I heard there will be a Season 2?! Let's hope! :)
Started doing some classes on pointe and demi pointe too it's soo challenging and I wobble crazy in adage but hopefully will improve my pointe work let's see
Just gotta keep at it, right?!
Hi Jana! You could always take a nice hot bath to wind down. There’s also CALM, which will relax your muscles and make you sleep. It’s basically magnesium powder. You won’t be groggy the next day.
Thanks for the recommendations!!
Linda Harrison Yes! I love the CALM magnesium drink! 👍👏🏻
Hey Jana! I hope the Freeds work for you, they look beautiful on your feet, the v-cut looks nice. I'd love to see you practising with them with the ribbons and elastics on. Also, I've noticed you are more confident now on pointe, and that's great! Way to go, girl!
Cheers from Spain :)
Ps. I got fitted for Russian Pointe Muse and they kill my feet, I've never ever worn such hard shoes! They are the only ones that actually fit my extra wide feet, not even Blochs do. Ever tried any RP model?
Hi Charlotte! Thank you! So awesome you can see more confidence in my pointe work - I can feel it a tiny bit so that's great it's translating externally too! So sorry to hear your shoes are killing you! Ack! I've tried a couple different RP models in the past - the Rubin has worked okay for me and I tried the Lumina for a bit, but I too just don't like how hard RP shoes are in general. I have super narrow feet so am not so versed in wide shoes, but Suffolk has a wide range of widths with their shoes - have you tried any from that brand?
You will get better at pointe work in the center and at the barre if you keep it up. I know it’s hard but you can get there. You inspire me 🥰😄👍🏾
Thanks so much! I was going to do it again this week, but we got snow and class was cancelled!! This is par for the course with pointe work consistency haha.
I love to see your pointe progress. I have only just started and am quite terrified to releve up to my left foot since I had an ankle injury a couple years ago. Seeing you overcome your fears motivates me a lot :)
Totally understand that fear with your left foot! I hope you're able to find what you need to get through it! You're not alone, and we can do this!! : D
ooooooohhhhh YOU LOOK SOOOO GRACIOUSS!!! You look sooobeautiful! Love your glissades by the way!!! it sounds silly, doesn` it? but your glissade is gorgeous!! ..🙆♀️🤩💕
Ahh thank you so much!!! Doesn't sound silly at all! Thank youuuuuu! ❤️
The pique arabesque where you develope through is harder then people think. It's alot of weight shifting and balance. So awesome job on that! You made it look easy👍❤️
Thank you!! I felt proud of those :) Appreciate you noticing!
How long do your point shoes last? And did you get them professionally fitted? Great video, love seeing your progress!
It's so hard to tell because my pointe practice is so sporadic! They'll usually last me a couple months, but I'm sure they would last me a few weeks or a month if I was doing one class on pointe work every week (which I *hope* to try to start doing!)
question!!! Do you ever ask to film or do you just film and hope no one notices??? My teacher never let me film..
They're fine with me filming, but I only do it when I really feel like it won't be in the way. I know photos and filming can get out of hand at studios these days, so I understand why most studios have a no photos or filming policy. Maybe ask if you can film something after class is over? It really is helpful to watch yourself dancing if you want to improve, so maybe present it that way if you ask!
Hey have you ever tried those sticky like pads you can use instead of a bra? They are super helpful and def keep you supported! I have a white Leo like that as well and got those to use and it worked well! :)
Like the stick and lift type of ones?! I have been curious about those! If those work well I will definitely give them a try!
LIPOSOMAL melatonin 👍 and LIPOSOMAL GABA 👍 (bioidentical)
Your body naturally makes these but production greatly decreases with age.
Liposomal forms work almost immediately(very similar to IV) and do not leave you feeling groggy when you awake.
I am going through perimenopause/menopause and these have been a lifesaver when it comes to sleep and calm. (organic USP micronized (yam based) progesterone cream helps greatly as well👍 )
I used QuickSilver Scientific for the Liposomlas and Organic Excellence for the progesterone cream.
Note: Liposomal cbd is wonderful as well! 👍👍👍
Thank you for the recommendations!!
Have you tried a lavender spray on your pillow or even a hop pillow? They might just help xxxxxxxxx
Oh wow, I would have never thought about that - good idea!
Hi Jana! I just wanted to let you know that Martin and I are in our third semester of #SilverSwans and having so much fun! xxxxxxxx
This makes me so happy!!! Yay!!!!
Jana❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😄
