So I ordered pointe shoes because I'm going to start dancing on pointe soon.
Of course I have the shoes, elastic, regular ribbon, pointe shoe glue, leather toe caps and gel toe protectors.
I've seen toe separators (picture), are they necessary and if so, do you put them on first and then the gel pointe shoes on top?
Thank you for your feedback 🙂

Hi. After the holidays, my girlfriend and I are starting a dance club at our school where we'll mainly perform as an idol show group. It's supposed to be J-Pop and we'll only sing along to playback, so basically just dance and maybe do a bit of acting, but that should be discussed beforehand. It's…
What is the difference between a 20s Charleston and a Charleston that is danced side by side?
Lace shoes should not be ordered on the Internet for the first time. The shoes must fit perfectly. Which shoes you ultimately need depends on the shape of your toes, the shape of your foot, the length of your toes, the heights of the heel, tension, force etc.
Go to a ballet shop and let you fit properly. First lace shoes to order via the Internet is (sorry) quite nonsens.
Usually, teachers give initial recommendations. I can’t imagine that you were told, order your shoes on the Internet.
btw: the particles on the picture are “Schuhwerk” for Modern Dance or Contemporary. The particles have nothing to do with lace dance.
I just hope you have sufficient pre-training for the top dance (3-4 years, regular ballet training 2-3x per week a 90 minutes)
Without sufficient training, a clean technique and adjustment of the foot to the load, damages are pre-programmed.
2-3x a week is not absolutely necessary. This depends on the strength of the foot or on how many years you have been dancing before. But otherwise I fully agree.
2-3x a week it should be. 1x training a week is far from enough, even not at 10 years training.
Force in the foot is not everything, especially here often, all the small muscles are forgotten and people later either sit in the shoe or hang in the joints or both.
In addition to strength and technology, the entire cartilage tissue in the foot has to be “rebuilt” in order to be able to withstand the load later.
Okay, thanks.
So there is a ballet business 2 1/2h away from me, where everyone actually buys the shoes/from there they can deliver. However, my trainer has said that I can order them online (then just several models to get me through).
I already have enough training behind me, 5 years
If the practice has been thoroughly studied and the teacher is satisfied with it, I think that’s okay.
I’m not a fan of “Ballett at home in the Kämmerlein”. There is no one who has the movement sequences in sight, no one who can correct errors. Unfavourable motion patterns are very fast and are very difficult to revive.
Floorbarre courses, pilates for dancers or PBT (progressive ballet technique) are suitable for additional training.
You can build supportive muscles or flexibility at home, but exercises at home do not replace ballet training.
However, when you arrive at this point, you can also ask the teacher what you can practice at home to improve, or dance variations from the class to the top.
Footholding/footage is not everything. If the body had no opportunity to adapt, the risk of long-term damage increases.
No one comes to the top here without passing the requirements (training intensity, technology, core, placement, stability….).
That quantity is not a guarantee of quality is correct. 2-3x the week training does not mean that you can automatically get to the top after the end of time. Some do not pack it with 3-4x/week. With 1x a week, however, not even the minimum is reached. As a beginner you can also improve at 1x a week, but at some point it is only enough for level maintenance, but not for further equipment and construction.
I can say from my own experience that’s enough. I’m in my class sometimes better than those who have ballet several times a week and have done that for a long time. Also my teacher says the foot posture is super
If you have any more accessories, you have to see if you tried the shoes. I’m not gonna order anything.
