Went to the studio to do a simple barre and this happened... I couldn't help myself when Meghan Trainor "Me too" came on my playlist... Strengthening your feet can be fun!! Just put on music that inspires you to push hard and have fun!
**PLEASE NOTE** This particular pair of pointe shoes has just been through a 6 hour photoshoot in the streets of New York City and were very broken in. I would not wear these while rehearsing or training in center, but still continue to wear shoes than are worn down at the barre for simple exercises as shown here. This video is a mix a ballet technique and fun and is not to be taken too seriously, as many people did on Facebook.
Also dancers have such unique bodies and specific needs for their training, and wearing soft shoes at the barre is simply one way to build additional strength in the feet and ankles as is forces you to use your own strength rather than rely on the structure of the shoe.
Please comment if you have any questions!
