Ballet pointe?

is it possible to teach yourself to pointe without taking ballet lessons?

Ballet pointe?shows

it's possible to teach yourself ballet on your own. But I would definitely not recommend doing pointe without proper training. That would higher your risk of getting injured. One wrong move, and that could be very bad. But yes, you can teach yourself ballet.

Ballet pointe?comedy show opera theater

sorry but no. pointe is actually very hard and it hurts so you need a teacher to tell you what brand of shoe you should buy, how to keep your balance, and keep you back straight, things like that. my pointe teacher when i was younger told me that if you tried to teach yourself pointe, you might actually end up twisting your foot. and after the first time i fell i knew what she meant because the shoe is made of paper mache(all are) so you need to know how to connect with the shoe and work with it. i'd know because ive done pointe for ten years and it takes alot of practice.

hope i answered your question =]

please listen to me because it would be really sad if you got yourself hurt. and it most likely wont be pretty
NO!!!!!!! You will only hurt urself badly. Dancers go to ballet classes to prep themselves for pointe work. It is absolutely necessary so you do not injure yourself.
That's almost impossible. I mean, ballet is the basis of all dance, and all pointe is is ballet on different shoes. But there;s NO WAY to teach yourself pointe! It's just to much of a risk! Pointe's dangerous because if you do something wrong and your teaching yourself how to do pointe, how will you know if it's wrong or not?You can't really tell that much, even with a mirror. And if you keep doing the step or stretch wrong, you could seriously injure yourself.You need a teacher who knows the best way to teach you pointe. Teachers can usually tell when your doing something wrong, and that can prevent injuries. Just whatever you do, DON'T TEACH YOURSELF POINTE!
NO!! you could hurt your self very very VERY badly.. teaching yourself ballet on the other hand.. you could teach your self the poitions and simple things like that but not technique would develop therefore you would not beable to perform or anything. if you really want to know ballet i suggest taking some classes!!

good luck%26lt;3
No way! u wont have the stamina or strength and will badly injure yourself- u dont kno whats right from wrong
No. Simple as that. I have been dancing since I was three and stillcan't do some thing. It takes great time, practice and endurance. I was on pointe when I was 11 and that very difficult. You have to dance for a very long time, get strong ankles/knees/abs/toes, and then you MIGHT be able to try. Trust me I know.
Dont even try!You might permanently damage your feet and you need years of ballet training before you can go on pointe because it takes a lot of strength and it hurts!You might be able to learn some basic ballet from videos but if you want to be professional,its better to find a good dance studio.
nooooo! dont try it. its very dangerous if you dont know what you are doing. pionte takes a lot of hard work and muscle
NO don't even try because that would be soooooo dangorous. it might be possible to teach yourself to break dance without an instructor but pointe is completly different. u need an instructor for almost every aspect of pointe, from finding the right shoes to doing multiple turns. if you try pointe with out an instructor and manage not to severly hurt yourself, you won't even be any good at it. sorry, but if you want to do pointe, you need to take a class
NOOOO its very time consuming and takes a while to build up strength! Dont try it.

Ballet Shoe sizes?

What is the normal size run for ballet shoes? Do they come up big or small to your normal shoe size or are they pretty much the same?

Ballet Shoe sizes?mr messed up

They vary enormously, depending on the brand, and the style. Width fittings also matter. When I wore soft shoes, I'd get two sizes smaller in leather (they stretched more) and one size smaller in satin. For pointe shoes, I had the same size in Freeds, and a size smaller in Gamba, although with different widths.

You really can't buy online, or guess a size - you have to try ballet shoes on.

Ballet Shoe sizes?getting late opera theater

They are just the same.
I always get a size smaller
Hi, My normal shoe size is 6-7, but my ballet shoes are size 8.
For an adult you need to buy a soft leather or satin ballet shoe the same size as your regular shoe size. Any smaller and they will hurt when your feet swell slightly when they get warm whilst dancing. Any bigger and they will just fall off. Children sometimes have a size larger to allow for growth.

If you are talking about pointe shoes they have their own sizes and width fittings and these vary slightly from make to make. Pointe shoes should only be fitted by a qualified fitter from a ballet shop, unless you want to damage your feet!!!
well the brand should tell u what size up or down u should go

mine are about 1/2 to a whole size bigger than my street shoes
Are you asking about ballet slippers or pointe shoes??

Either way, the sizes ARE NOT the same as your street shoe size!

In ballet slippers:

*Bloch's run around 2 - 2 1/2 down form your street shoe

*Capezio's depends on the style you buy, they can be 1 - 1 1/2 sizes down, sames as street shoe or 1/2 - 1 size up from street shoe

*Sansha's can run 1/2 size larger

*Grishko's uses a different sizing system all together

In pointe shoes:

*Capezio's go down 2 - 3 sizes (depending on the style)

*Freed's go down 3 - 3 1/2 sizes

*Bloch's go down 3 - 3 1/2 sizes

*Sansha's go up 1/2 - 1 size

All of these fitting guidelines are just a suggestion, each individual foot is different and should be professionally fitted.

You need to have them fitted at a dance shop so you know what size is right for you depending on the brand and the style shoe you are wanting to buy.
each shoe is different.... it all depends what brand is comfortable for your feet and whatever size is comfortable....if you go to a local dancewear store you can have your shoes fitted so you get the right size and brand for you!
my street shoe size is 81/2 but I wear a 4C in ballet shoes so it really is dependant on which brand, shoe and other things. I would reccommend going to a shop and trying on shoes for the first time so that you can find your size, then you can order them online so that it is cheaper.
Every style of shoe runs differently. Some run big, other's small, and yet some are the same size as your street shose. I wear 7s normally, but my ballet slippers are 4.5, while my friend's is a 7 and she wears 6s. There is really no normal run size for any dance shoee.
they should be about your normal size so you can move in them if you go to a store they can usually help you
I found an article at Pampos Dance that said that they run a size smaller than your normal size. http://www.pampos.com/Ballet-Shoes.html
It depends on what brand you get, what material they are made of, and if you are getting pointe shoes or regular shoes. I would cunsult my dance instructor or look on the brand website for sizing charts.

Ballet Basics : Plie, I'm frustrated?

I've been practicing ballet for more than 10 years but I've been struggling with the plie forever. The thing is I can't bend my knees very much, I feel like an elephant! If I do it in sixth position the bones on my knees come together, no matter what i do. Is there anything I can do to improve my knee-bending-skills???

I'm not even en pointe bc of that... =(

Ballet Basics : Plie, I'm frustrated?comedy club

Do exercises that strengthen your turn-out. Ask your ballet and pilates instructors for some. It is so very important that your knee stays over your toes and not bending inward or outward. Concentrate on that when you plie. And turn your feet out from the hips, definitely not from the knee.

Ballet Basics : Plie, I'm frustrated?sheet music opera theater

you're possibly rolling. when you go down, keep all your basics in mind, and then stay conscious of your big toe, pinky toe, and heal all remaining on the floor. if it is rolling, it most likely is subconscious and mistakenly. i have a few friends who roll mistakenly. think like a carousel horse, up down up down, not left right left right. just keep all your basics in mind and keep practicing. I'm sure you'll get it some day. don't get frustrated with yourself, that might be another reason, you might be getting tense and are having a hard time relaxing. plie is the most important thing in ballet, that and balance. talk to your teacher as well, they will, most likely have a source and a solution to your struggle.you may not have the deepest plie but it will be clean and well performed. i wish you luck and have fun with it.

What do you think is the proper age to start ballet?

i have this friend. she said, she wanted to join ballet class for summer next year. she invited me to join with her but i said i couldnt coz, i thot i was too old... then she said it was ocay but i don't know. i dig ballet but i guess its just too hard. i just want to watch ballet, not do ballet. i don't really close doors on doing it.... unless your opinions wouldn't help. :D so please tell me what you really think of it. tell me what you think is the right age to start ballet or perhaps tell me... will a 13 going on 14 girl, still be able to do ballet. :D

i'm really bored and this just came in to my mind. hope you could help. :D take care. much love. thanks. :)

What do you think is the proper age to start ballet?concerts

i started at the age of 3.

if you really want to do it, you can. there is no age limit to starting ballet.

hope this helped

; )

What do you think is the proper age to start ballet?headache opera theater

Well i started when i waz 3 -4 yrs old. But you join and quit at any age..
I think it is a little 2 late. You need to start when your like 8 or 9.
Well, I started when I was like three or four and then I stopped and this summer I'm going to do it again. I'm 16 now. You should be fine.
you can start ballet at nearly any age! there are lots of girls who have just started dancing in my class(i have been dancing 4 9 years. im 14) and they are keeping up just as well as every1 else. when you learn a new step every1 is in the same position so you should go 4 it!
you can start dancing at any age
She can do it but it will be a bit harder for her.... Dont give up! if you love ballet.. try it.. n see whether you can doi it or not.. Good Luck!
I say if you're interested, do it! Who cares how old you are? You may not end up dancing professionally, but you could end up having loads of fun and getting a good workout, too. Don't let something small like your age stand in the way of discovering new and fun things to do!
u r never too old to start and since u already have the experience, i see no reason why u can't do it. Unless of course u just don't really want to and if that is the case u really shouldn't waste u time and energy and ur parents money on something u really don't want to do.

the proper age to start anything is when u really want to do it.

the best of the best usually start when they r very young.
sure, they have beginner classes for your age! I started dancing (jazz) when i was 13.

Most girls start around 6... but its not too late! Ask about it at a local dance school
i think you should defo start if you want to...you are certainly not to old...i started when i was 3 but thats not a problem!! there are even adults classes so you are young compared to them!!!

dont fret about age just go and have fun....

x x x
I began ballet when i was 3 years old. This year is my tenth year of dancing. Since you have some previous experience i say go right ahead and get back in there. It's fun and you don't have to be good at it. Just get out ther get some exercise and have fun!!
Don't Worry about the age! Just start! It's a ton of fun, and I just conviced a friend (going on 14) to start, and she loves it!!!!: )
Darcy Bussel Principal dancer with The Royal Ballet started when she was, I believe 15. You never no till you try!

"Ballet by the Demon"..Has anyone heard this symphony?

I was driving on the interstate and happened to be listening to a classical music station. I heard a symphony that I really liked, and the radio station said it was called "Ballet of/by the demon" by Stephen. I didn't catch his last name.

"Ballet by the Demon"..Has anyone heard this symphony?playhouse

A bit of a long shot, but might the announcer not have said *from* 'The Demon'? In that case, it's probably the ballet music from Anton Rubinstein's opera "The Demon" you heard, which, since the more recent recordings from Naxos and others, has been getting more air time now, than in the preceding century (and more) of its existence, put together.

Here's a few recordings for you of the whole opera:

http://www.amazon.com/Anton-Rubinstein-D...

http://www.amazon.com/Demon-Anton-Rubins...

and of just the ballet music:

http://www.amazon.com/Rubinstein-Concert...

http://www.amazon.com/Exotic-Dances-Oper...

These include samples for you to 'taste'... %26lt;s%26gt;

Where "Stephen..." might come into it, I have no idea... :-))

Ballet help?

ok im starting ballet in 2 months and im joining a class with more experienced dancers. im 13 and joining a little kid (like ages 7-10) class and i have no past dance experience with any style of dance. im doing all i can to prepare so i will catch on fast. i know some really basic things (5 arm and foot positions, stuff like that) does anyone know things that i really need to know and any other ways i can prepare (flexibility strength ect.)?

Ballet help?symphony

Hi Hopes, My niece is 11 and taking ballet for 7 years and she said to stretch, buy your shoes, and once you start practice, practice, practice! Hope you have fun, good luck!

Ballet help?performing arts center opera theater

practise stretching like trying to do the splits and things like that
The best thing you can do is to try to get more flexible. Start with basic things. One of the best stretches you can do is called a butterfly stretch. Form a diamond with your legs where the bottoms of your feet are touching each other. Try to touch your nose to your toes while keeping your knees as close to the floor as you can. Grab your ankles and bring your feet a little closer to you. Try to touch your nose to your toes again while keeping your knees close to the floor. Repeat until you really feel the stretch in your inner thighs.

You can practice plies, tondus, degasses, and some of the other basic steps you know. This will strengthen most of the muscles that are used in ballet.

Another thing you can do is pilates or yoga. This will increase your flexibility greatly.
Like everyone else has said, stretch and practice, but whats really important when you walk through the door for your class is that you are paying attention and ready to learn. When my class starts my teacher doesn't wait for everyone to settle down or even get into the class, before you know it shes done with teaching an exercise and then its your turn to repeat it. So always watch the teacher and try to really remember the steps. A teacher notices weather your looking at someone because you forgot the steps or weather someone is looking at you! Thats how you get front and center during performances. The teacher wants to be confident you will learn and perform to the best of your ability. Also, start noticing little things about your classmates when they dance. That can be hard coming into a new studio when the teachers have taught them since they were little. They are usually very small details like how to hold their hands for certain things ect. Try to catch up on those fast. Well I hope this helped and best of luck with your ballet classes. Keep up your confidence and passion for ballet! I'm 14 so I hope you grow to love it as much as I do!
Congrats on starting ballet. I think you will find it really fulfilling, but a lot of hard work.

May I suggest you go to a library and take out the book "The Dancer's Companion" by Eliza Minden. It's a great resource. You can also try "Ballet for dummies"

You should spend the next two months stretching as much as you can EVERYDAY.

Learn as much as you can. http://www.abt.org/education/dictionary/...

Your first class will start off with a quick warm up like rolling through the ankles. Then piles, tendues, frappe, degages, grande battements, then a barre stretch with your leg on the barre.

Then center. Adagio, tendu combinations, jumps, then large jumps across the floor.

Just follow along - it will be difficult to remember the combinations at first but try your best. Have a good attitude about it.

Remember to keep your core tight, your butt pulled up and your elbows up.
You have to get supple: That's soooo important. Do stretching exercise every day.

Strenghten up: get into a pilates class as well if possible.

Warm up: Befor each class, make sure you warm up from head to toe - your body will be able to perform better %26amp; stronger (it will also help guard against injury)

Rehearse at home: Practise makes perfect - from repetition you'll gain confidence in the steps you do, and that leaves you free to give that extra bit of special flair!!!

Enjoy your ballet!
Everyone has wonderful advice, and they are all right. But in addition to all that, you also should be doing some strengthening exercises and learning the vocabulary.

Strengthening: If you have five pound weights use them, if not, just take those big liter bottles of soda and use those. Do some arm exercises and some ab/stomach exercises. That will strengthen you enough to make it through the first few classes without feeling like you want to colapse. Do the exercises until it hurts a little, then do about five more reps.

Vocabulary: Ballet is almost entirely in French. Of course, your teacher won't speak to you in french, but all the steps she names will be in french. She will tell you "tendu" and you will look at her like she's crazy, unless you have done some research and know that tendu means to point your foot out, sliding it across the floor as you do it. And even just having heard the terms before will help them sound less like nonsense and more like terminology. good luck, you will have so much fun and will probably move to a higher level class in no time!

Ballet class's?

ok so i'm 13 and looking for ballet class's in westchester ny but since i'm 13 the beginner class's are like age 3-5. can someone give bme some names of place that have my level in my age?

Ballet class's?performing show

There are definitely some Ballet 1 classes for your age. You might have to start with 11 year olds to get the foundation but its worth it. ask the front desk at the studios you visit. I know it may seem intimidating at first but hang in there. Its worth it! You'll get it. Have fun.

Ballet help needed!?

ok so i want to start ballet but i have noticed when i do my turnout, my feet roll in. It's getting really fustrating because i feel hopeless! i don't know how to turn out my hips so if you could help me with stretches, exercises, or help fix my problem that would be awesome!

p.s the problem is in all the positions!) thanks

Ballet help needed!?comedy show

If you haven't started ballet yet, you're probably not turning out right (you're most likely turning out from your knees, which isn't good). You should get your ballet teacher to help you when you start taking classes. Don't worry, turn out is one of the first things that you learn in a beginner class.

Ballet help needed!?greek theater opera theater

Don't give up. I'm a beginner in ballet and I, myself am having trouble with my turn-out. My teacher says I have good turnout but sometimes I'm lazy to do it right. Just keep trying and practicing until you succeed. But don't practice alone, get a professional to help you. Like your teacher.
the way I\i've learned to turnout is to put both feet side by side and open at the same time keeping the heels together..as far as they will go..that is the "natural turnout"..the more you practice the better it will get...just do pli茅s in all postitions slowly and concentrate, 1. on making sure the turnout says how it is suppossed to and 2. making sure your pli茅s are correctly...

Practice makes perfect! Good Luck with everything! =]
Good turnout exericize is called the clam. lay on your sidewith your knees bent and together and your hips striaghtened. while sitll keeping you toes touching, lift the leg that is on top. THis forces you to use your turnout muscles. You can always look up turnout on youtube.com and find that exercise if you didn't understand my description.
Don't do it so widely.

Also, when i do ballet, we do something called the FROG.

You lay on your stomach and lift your feet up and spread out your knees. so if you were sitting up it would look just like the butterfly. It helps your turn out tremendously. thats how i got mine

Hope i Helped!!
If your feet roll in when you turn out, you're turning out too far. Put your feet together with your toes pointin directly in front of you. Then lift your toes and, without forcing it, turn out and put your feet back down. That is your natural turnout, and you should start off working from there, NO FARTHER! If you don't, you could really damage your knees. Turning out from your hips is all about using the muscles that are right where your butt joins your hamstrings and using your inner thighs. You want to strengthen these muscles and always, always, always use them to turn out.
wow k if you havent started classes you shouldnt be pushing yourself like that. its really really important to know proper technique because other wise you could get hurt and its harder to reverse your thinking. so i would just to cardio every day and a little bit of stretching until you join a class but not much else.

if you arent going to wait.. then heres the next best advice i can give you. stop forcing your turn out. i know its frusturating but dont do it. when you plie your toes should not be further out then your knees. they should be right under your knees. something that might help with your turn out is when you go into releve, try to evenly distribute your weight between your big and pinky toe. its a pretty small detail but its very hard to stop this habit of undistributed weight and it will hurt your turn out .. wow there is just a lot of little detail and im sorry to seem rude, but please get formal lessons, you wont be sorry later on
Your feet will roll in when youre pushing yourself beyond proper alignment for turn out. You would just be starting so dont worry! Youll work on it! In ballet it much more quantity over quality so make sure you spend the time making ti correct, not crazy turned out.

Remember that turn out starts in the abdomine, so make sure your spine is aligned, your tummy is pulled up straight, and your hips are squared...you may also want to invest in a theraband to work on stretching the ankles
Your turn out doesn't have to be perfect. I can make my feet go all the way out, but this isn't the case for everyone. Just go out as far as you can go.

Is it okay to wear ballet slippers to and from ballet class?

My son is starting ballet class and we ordered him some toddler ballet shoes. Is it okay for him to wear them across our apartment parking lot to the car, then from the car across the gym's parking lot into the gym? Or should he wear his normal shoes, then change at the gym? He'll be wearing knee high black socks under the slippers; I wasn't sure if that mattered. Thanks!

Is it okay to wear ballet slippers to and from ballet class?events

NO! Dance shoes should only be worn in dance class or at home. Never outside. Even that little bit of walking can ruin the bottom of the ballet slipper and he would be bring in moisture, pollen and dirt onto the dance floor.

Is it okay to wear ballet slippers to and from ballet class?home theatre opera theater

No, the rocks and sand, dirt, are bad for dance floor!
definately dont let him wear ballet shoes outside.

it will also wear down the shoes way faster and you will have to buy new ones sooner
try not to wear them until you get to your destination. It will wear down the shoes and you will need to replace them quite frequently. I always got yelled at by my dance teachers if I was wearing my shoes before class/practice.
No! Wait till just before dancing to put them on. Also no street shoes should be worn inside the dance studio-it ruins the floor.

~Heidi
no, its bad for the shoes and the dance floor
no, the rocks, dust, dirt, on the ground is not good for dance studio floors. it is usually best to wear normal shoes to and from ballet class. this will also help keep his ballet shoes clean!
If I were you, I wouldn't. It will ruin the shoes (and the floor) in no time at all. He'll get more practice taking them on and off, and will prevent them from not becoming scuffed up and basically ruined. If you want him to become used to wearing the slippers, have him wear them on floor like tile or hardwood, and dance/ walk around.
He should only be wearing his ballet slippers indoors. In dance class and when he practices dancing at home inside. You do not want the soles to get dirty quickly and you do not want to track that dirt into the dance classroom. I hope that I helped you out a little.
He definately should not wear them to and from class. One, it'll tear up the slippers, and two, he'll be trailing dirt into the classroom.
reading all the other answers, i hate that people are so worried about the dance floor %26amp; the ballet slipper. Please be aware that the slipper is very thin, %26amp; you dont know what he might happen to step on in the parking lot. Besides messing of the floor %26amp; the shoe, he might get cut by glass that you didnt see or by maybe a needle. you just dont know. its better to wear thicker shoes when you go outside.
no !
No, its horrible for the shoes and the dance floor.
NO! the gravelwill wear it down, it may be wet and it will slowly break down the shoe is places you dont want it to be broken down. You may get holes in the shoe and when dancing it will have a different friction level with the dance floor!

: )
Get him a pair of slip on sandals to wear over the slippers. I have many students who slip their boots or shoes right over their slippers and then there is one less step to get ready for class.

Ive been a cheerleader for a long time but i really want to do ballet. Ive never done it before and im 15. Is it too late for me? Plssss help!

Ballet help!?performing arts center

no its not too late although starting this late means you will never make it as a prima ballerinayou can still learn the moves and become an accomplished dancer. however i do think it is harder to grasp the turnout and posture aspects but as you have already done cheer leading you should manage it. hope that helps good luck

Ballet flats for men???

I see in Europe that they are trying to make leather Ballet flats for men...I would definately wear these if they came to NA. I hope it is a spring fashion as I like the look of them, anyone else agree?

Ballet flats for men???greek theater

sure, i think if they could pull off a more masculine version i think it'll be really interesting :)

Ballet flats for men???performing arts show opera theaterYes I i've heard of ballet flats for men and I think is a great idea but they should keep the same look but make them man size just without the bows and glitter you know simple U cuts in black or other colors or who cares wear what ever one you want. Report It


What people don't realize is that men started wearing ballet flats before woman back in the time they where unisex and everybody wore them. Woman where not even allowed to even do ballet only men but times change. Report It


look at men now not long ago man could wear ear rings with jewels or even have pink in there wardrobe or even wear make up with out been made fun off but now men are doing all off this thing they thought only woman can do. Report It


So don't let you blind ideals and hypocrisy lead you from what could be the next best thing. Report It


well I think thats a little weird and like i really don't know about that but if you want them you are probably going to have to order them online or go to Europe.
That is so gay Its not even funy
omg don't wear them if they actually look like ballet shoes.

that would look very... um... odd.

because guys don't wear ballet flats.

but if they loook more like men shoes-ish, then u should wear them if u like them!!

Ballet dancer without good turnout?home theatre

Nobody is perfect. How bad is your turnout? If it's way off, you can try to improve it, you know...

Ballet dancer without good turnout?ballet theater opera theater

Well i am 18 years old, %26amp; i have been doing ballet since i was six and my teachers kept pushing me to have a perfect turnout

i mean you should have a descent tuyrnout at least
180 degrees in considered perfect. But less than this (but not much) is also acceptable. I have read a lot into this and it does appear that you can be accepted based on your technique even if you don't have perfect 180 degree turnout, but like I mentioned, it can't be too far off.
I don't have good turn out and i'm a preprofessional dancer with the Pittsburgh ballet Theatre at age 17. turnout is important, but your work ethic and how hard you are will to try will matter so much more. If your turn out isn't so great, make up for it by soemthing else that your good at, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Ballet is so much more then turn out and if you dance more with your upper body people will be pulled into your dancing instead of your turn out good luck!
I don't think so

turnout is like the second most important thing in ballet

but if you work on it

I bet you'll get, in depending on your skill
I don't know because turnout helps a lot with balance and balance is key in ballet.
Probably not. It's not discrimination or 'unfair' they just want people with specific abilities, and turnout is one of the most necessary things for ballet.
Good turnout is important, but less than perfect doesnt necessarily mean you wont be accepted. A lot more goes into choosing a good dancer, work ethic, poise, determination, musicality. I'm sure whatever you lack in turn out is made up for with some other aspect!
If they think your turnout has a chance of improving then yes... one of my friends dances and her turnout is less than perfect and she is still a really good dancer

Becouse of you -Kelly Clarkson Falling down - Avrill Lavigne and lol my friend did it to this Thriller- Michell Jakson
Do Tori Amos Pretty Good Year. The music is great for ballet, there is this one part that is PERFECT for a series of the best type of spin/turn you can do the fastest and most times in a row. Although the entire audience might not "get it" or be moved by it... You could check out more of her songs. They are mostly “slow” “emotional” and “deep”. But maybe too deep? “1000 Oceans” or “China” might be good.

Or you could do either Kate Bush or Maxwells version of "This Woman's Work"

Or maybe some Natalie Merchant stuff. “Beloved Wife” made me cry…what else….”Seven Years” is one of my favorites…

Mariah Carey “Can’t Take That Away From Me”

Richard Marx “Right Here Waiting” this could remind people now about loved ones at war…

Tim McGraw “Don’t Take the Girl”

R. Kelly “If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time”

Whitney Houston “The Greatest Love of All”

Johnny Cash or Nine Inch Nails or Tori Amos “Hurt”

Madonna “This Used to be My Playground:

Sarah Mclachlan “World on Fire” or maybe something from Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

REM “Everybody Hurts”

Okay that’s all I got off my play list and the top of my head. If I think of something better I’ll let you know.
Des'ree- Kissing You (Love Theme From Romeo + Juliet). One of the best!

Ballet teacher?

My ballet teacher said that I am "meek and mild". I am none of those things! What does she mean??? And then she said I wasn't paying attention in class even though I was and said to the assistant that it's because my dad's in jail! What the heck! Please tell me why she thought that!!!!!

Ballet teacher?regal theater

no one can tell you why someone says what they say...

get over yourself you sound like you're 10.

thanks for the points =)

Ballet teacher?performing art center opera theater

why don't you try politely asking her why she did what she did?
If she says you are Meek and Mild she is probably saying that bc she thinks that you have more talent then what u are showing. Try proving to her that u kick butt!
Try to keep an open mind. It is okay to express your feelings, but be kind about it. Your ballet teacher really does want to help you, and i am sure she is just telling you this because she thinks you can be better. :-)
I'd confront her and tell if she has a problem with you do in class,she needs to address you, not the 12 year old helper.

Ballet- 15-16 years old-how many lbs should they weigh?

hello! I'm currently studying ballet and i really need to know how many/much lbs. 15-16 year old dancers weigh?

It's not just about your weight, it's about the energy you will require. You need to stay healthy and strong. You'll need adequate nutrition to perform at your peak.

The International Association for Dance Medicine %26amp; Science provides the following formula to determine the minimum caloric intake for your age and weight.

First, divide your weight in pounds by 2.2 to convert it into kilograms. Then multiply this number by the suggested calories (kcal) per kilogram (kg) of body weight for your age group (for girls ages 11-14, 47 kcal/kg; ages 15-18, 40 kcal/kg; for women ages 19-24, 38 kcal/kg; ages 25-50, 36 kcal/kg). For example, a 20-year-old, 110-pound female dancer would require 1,900 calories a day to restore the energy in her muscles. An adult male dancer would require 37 to 41 calories per kilogram daily.
