hey lisa. I am 14 and really want to start pointe soon. The problem is that all my toes are short and the same length, but my big toe is normal size. Does this mean I can't do pointe or will that change with the padding?

Please help

Thanks

hi lisa.
i have only watched a couple of your videos but they have really helped.
i haven't been dancing for a few weeks now and when i tried to do some rises in my pointe shoes to break them in, my ankles couldn't take the weight and i can't get up onto full point.
i have a dance show in november and i start a full time dance course in september. both of them involve pointe work.
i was hoping you could give me some quick tips on how to strengthen my ankles. i have started dancing every day again but i really need to strengthen my ankles up quickly.

Hey Lisa.

I Love Ballet And Have Been Doing It For 11 Years Now. I Am Almost 14, I Am 165 Cm Tall And Weigh Around 45Kg. Is This The Right Weight For My Height? Or Should I Lose Or Gain Some. And Do You Have Any Pointers On Diet Etc. I Recently Moved Into The City and Have Found It Hard To Find A Good Ballet School, Most People I Know Only Do Hip Hop. Anyway, Please Reply.

Thanks.

hi lisa!
I am interested in purchasing the perfect pointe book audio/visual and I was wondering if there is a specific program that is needed for it to work.
I have been en pointe for a year and a half (almost two) and I am taking intermediate pointe this fall, but I know that I can be a lot better than where I am right now, and I think that the perfect pointe book will help me get stronger and more prepared for pointe!

just got my pointe shoes.and they r great i already broke them in.but my mom hasto take them to the cleaners so they can so the rest on she already pined where suppose to be sewed at

I just want to say that your videos have helped me SO much! Thank you!!

dear lisa,
i am twelve years old and i am starting on pointe soon. i watched your vid on how to break in your pointe shoes. thank you thank you thank you! it has helped sooooooooooooo much!

Dear Lisa,
I've watched many many of your videos and i love them all.
I have reacently started with my local ballet school at the age of twelve. I've been with a jazz studio and have since first grade and im no going into seventh grade. it has some ballet but not much so i decided to start more ballet training. I'm one of the best in my jazz and ballet class but my ballet teacher will not move me into the higher level three class. How long do you think it will be until i can get up on to pointe. It's my dream right now. And maybe could you give me some pre pointe exersizes.

Please Please Please Respond soo

Hi Lisa,
My pair of pointe shoes are dead and I don't know which ones to buy.. for you which are the best ones? thnx for all the vids they're very helpful!!

hi lisa,
my pointe shoes are very stubborn and just don't want to go in demi plie. i tried doing like what you said but it didn't work. also my elastic around my foot is to loose and i was wondering if you have advice on how to sew that back on. if so please tell.

thanx!
