| Question: What are the risks of pointe shoes and what ways could i get hurt in them? Posted: 22 Nov 2015 10:05 AM PST Clara ..... give this up already. You absolutely should not get pointe shoes. This is the third question you have asked about pointe shoes and you do not even take ballet. You will get hurt. Knowing exactly which part of your foot you are going to twist or snap can vary and it isn't something you can prevent if you have zero ballet training. FYI the shank is the part of the shoe that is under the arch and helps support a dancer when she is en pointe. It has to be somewhat plyable and comes in different strengths based on the dancers needs based on their own foot strength and natural arch height primarily. Dancers also need the right box shape for their foot and the right vamp length as well as the right heel, platform and profile.... and of course the right length and width too. That is why fittings can take up to an hour. |

Are you talking about graded ballet like RAD?) It isn't just about copying foot and arm positions as you need to learn to engage the right muscles to get you there all the while in proper alignment. That is hard enough to do with a qualified teacher's eyes and hands on you for corrections. On your own it is just not possible. Having natural talent isn't the issue as you very well may have that. Ballet is not natural and not something one can pick up on their own without a qualified teacher. Have you been working on a proper sprung or floating floor like they have at a reputable dance studio? This is not something one has in their home. To put in enough hours to gain the proper technique ( with a qualified teacher) would get you injured on a floor with no "give." Did you know that dancers on track for a ballet career never practice at home because of this? They do stretch at home but instead of home practice they take 2-3 ballet classes a day. They know that not only do they need proper flooring, they need a qualified teacher's eyes and hands in for corrections. Did you also know that professional ballet dancers take a daily class with the company ballet master/mistress before rehearsals and performances? If they can't work on their own what makes you think you can? In order to be ready for pointe work you need strong feet, ankles, legs and core along with balance and the ability to engage and hold turnout all the while in perfect alignment and without sickling. Most important in strong ballet technique. That only comes from getting corrections from a qualified teacher. In a good recreational ballet school it takes dancers at least three consecutive years of taking three or more 90 minute classes a week to be ready for pointe. Serious preprofessionals take way more classes as they are held to a higher level before they are allowed en pointe. Dancers not ready for pointe are not going to be strong enough to pull up out of their shoes (if they can even get up on the box) making pointe work more painful as well as dangerous. |
