Subject: Re: my dreams are gone... Author: Michelle [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:25:51 12/11/03 Thu In reply to: sandy 's message, "my dreams are gone..." on 16:42:24 12/04/03 Thu Ok, first of all, it doesn't take 10 years to get in pointe shoes. How old are you? I didn't start doing a lot of ballet until I was 14 and I was in pointe shoes when I was 16. Secondly...if this is truly you dream then you wouldn't be giving up so easily. So you have to take some flat classes first...big deal...you don't get to live your dreams without work. Also, I think dancing in flat shoes can be just as fun as dancing in pointe shoes. I still get that feeling of floating in the air, defying gravity. It honestly doesn't feel that much different in pointe shoes. You go up a few inches high but your feet feel much heavier. You should at least try a ballet class if this is really your dream. And if you don't like it then you probably wouldn't like pointe. It is completely different to watch it than to do it. It can be extremely painful and is A LOT of work...so you are really going to have to commit to it if this is what you want to do. Good luck! Email me if you have any questions...I probably won't check back here... shelly62585@yahoo.com Michelle >hi, >from when i was 3 i always watched the pointe dancers >and i loved them. i loved the gracefulness of the >dance. i wanted to do it. but the thing is that i >liked the pointe, not the ballet, i want to do pointe >not the boring no-tippy-toes stuff. then i read that >you have to do regular ballet for like 10 years before >you can do pointe. and if i start ballet classes >now...well....im gunna be goin to college and i can >afford that much time for the dance classes. i have no >hope to do what ive wanted to do from when i was 3... >i just wanna feel what its like to be so high on my >feet and so light on the ground.....
