Am I good at Pointe? (video)?

-I am going on my 3rd year of pointe...am I good? What do you think of my arches, my technique and getting over the box? I know they are just pictures, but I could use some help! :)

Your shoes are not really broken in correctly or you have a somewhat low arch. You also have a low almost flat instep (top bump.) This is what a high arch looks like. Note where the shoe breaks at a much lower point. http://www.stepbystepdancewear.com.au/im鈥?/a>

I cannot see your technique by looking at still ballet pictures.

Keep working and dancing, but keep in mind that there is just so much that you can do. You have the feet you are born with. For recreational dance, there is no reason why you cannot be very successful with an arch like you have. It should not affect your ability to dance well in the least. Ballet banana feet look pretty but they don't make it easier to dance with. They are harder to control and require much more training and building up in strength in order to dance en pointe than someone with average arches.Yes, I agree with the others, you are getting over your boxes well, but you are not too far over, which is good:) Your arches could be a little higher, but we were born with them, and it's hard to improve them. I would recommend doing some theraband exercises to help:)



Keep dancing!
You look really good! You just need to tie your ribbons a bit neater but otherwise you're great! Could you answer my question please????? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmFqxydM4E_1KUQpudlbxiDsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20110704064842AAkeuJ1

You look really good! From what I can tell you have a great arch and you're getting over the box. Your technique seems good too. The only thing I would say is to make sure your ribbons are tied a little bit neater. :)
