Random Ballet Tips

Hi! These tips are a collection of tips from my friends, dance teachers, and, me!
These tips might work for you dancers or not, it just depends your preferences!(Hopefully some dancers besides Sarah and Silly still read iStudents.)

  • Use paper towels instead of gel pads in your pointe shoes! They mold to your feet and apparently are really comfortable and they toughen up your toes!(I have not tried this.)
  • Do your pointe shoes always fall off your heels? Put water on the heel of your tights!
  • Do you hate having a flubby tummy in your leotard? Pull your tights up to your ribcage.(I personally detest this, because my tights end up falling back down to my waist and then I look funny;))
  • Wear a cute headband so that your hair doesn't fall in your face.
  • Pointe shoes are good for kicking obnoxious nutcrackers in the shins.
  • Never eat 2 slices of pizza, a cookie, a pepsi, and a slushie before going to dance class. I have tried this and it is not fun.
  • Bobby pins are good for throwing at obnoxious nutcrackers.
  • Annoy your fellow dancers about eating something besides salad for a change!
  • Never try to jump straight onto pointe. This hurts like crap.

Ok, so this has turned into sort of a flip list, but I had fun making it!

i hate when my tights come up to my ribcage! it's so uncomfortable. i always roll them down. at my studio we're not allowed to use anything besides lamb's wool in our pointe shoes either. good advice though!
