Pointe help ten points best answer?

-It's summertime obviously, and I am searching for a new studio to dance at because where I dance currently is not going to take me any further, I am at the highest level already and have gotten the

lead twice in a row the past two years. I made the decision to switch schools a couple months ago. I found a place closer to where I live and it seems really nice. They want me to come and try out a class and bring my pointe shoes... POINTE STORY: I was dancing on gaynor mindens for 2 years and the tried bloch European balances. They didn't fit right so I went back to gaynors. Then I went BACK TO BLOCHS. Again a couple months ago. I don't want to wear those to the class at the new studio because I don't feel comfortable in them and they are almost dead and are cause my feet to sink into the shoe. I have never been really solid en pointe. I'm afraid that they will see me dance en pointe and not think I'm too good and won't see my true potential. Also I am just uncomfortable in the shoes I have and I want to not be afraid to slip and stuff. My mOm says there isn't time to get new ones since the class is on Thursday... What should I do?If your entire class is en pointe then I would call and tell them that your shoes are pretty dead and can you do the class on flat. If you really have no shoes to dance in and if the class is all pointe, and they need to see you en pointe, then you should postpone your audition class until you get new ponte shoes. If the class is mostly on flat then I doubt if it would be a big problem if you did it on flat. They should be able to see your technique well enough to see where you are at.



In either event you should call and explain your situation and see what they recommend.practice as much as you can. If your really that self consious then tell your teacher at the beginning of class that you need new pointe shoes but that you didnt have the time to get them. If the teacher is good she wont judge the fact that the pointe shoes arent good and make it look like your not good. teachers are trained to see the potential in everyone, even if their pointe shoes arent good. =)



Hope this helped

if you have ur gaynor mindens that arent dead wear them. dont wear ur dead ones and if you have a bloch pair or otheronest tthat are nt comfy i would rather waer uncomfy ones then dead ones.... or i would just beg my mum to let me get new ones.

:) hope i helped.

I would say dance is regular ballet shoes if they are good enough teachers they will see if you can do pointe regardless if you're on pointe or not
Practice practice practice. Get Bloch jetstream they break in fast so if u wear theca whole they will be fine thurs good luck
