In reply to: aussie national champs dancer 's message, "Toe stand (pointe) ban unfair for some dancers (like 1993 born kids)" on Sunday, July 10, 02:46:24am

you werent complaining about not being able to do something that could hurt you.

You never had to do them in the first place, and you could just as easily have gotten rid of them when they first voted on the rule, and you can continue to leave them out past the 4 months.

Toe stands are NOT a required move, and in fact, not even a very good move. They are hardly more then filler. If you really think that not doing toe-stands will hurt your scores, you probably arent very confident in the rest of your dancing (you know the rhythmic components that are part of the very essence of ID).

- The only problem I have with this rule is flip flops also do a lot of damage to your feet/arch. -- g.t.t., Thursday, July 14, 12:25:01pm

I agree, toe stands are not difficult and when overdone look ridiculous. -- n, Thursday, August 11, 03:53:04pm
- Usually bad toe stands are the fault of the dancer, not the shoe. -- g.t.t., Saturday, August 13, 08:20:56pm
