Some people know that I am a competition dancer, but not a lot of people know that I do a lot of ballet. Currently, the most ballet I do a week is 8 ½ hours a week. Yes, 8 ½ HOURS A WEEK! Doing ballet for 8 ½ hours a week can be pretty tiring, but the thing that tires me the most is POINTE! Pointe is when you are dancing on a special type of shoe that makes you look like you are dancing on your toes. Prima Ballerinas make it look effortless and it looks like it doesn’t hurt at all, but the truth is….

IT HURTS SO MUCH!!!

I’ve been on pointe for about a year and I can feel my feet starting to shrivel away. (I’m exaggerating that) You work so hard to get pointe shoes, then when your teacher says yes and you do your first class, you will start to regret it. BUT, after a few classes, you will start to be normal. The other thing that also hurts so bad is when your pointe shoes are dead. No, they aren’t choking on the floor. It means that they are so overused that they start to break. I am going to stop writing because I have NO IDEA how to finish this post 🙂
