Stretches

Hi! Does anyone know any stretches I can do before class? I always have trouble warming up and am not as flexible as my classmates.
Thanks!

Pointe shoes

I’m looking for gel toe covers. I found the ones that cover the toos individually but I’m looking for the ones that covers all five toes at once. Thanks.

Pointe Shoe Question?

Has anyone tried the Pas De Deux Pointe 1, pointe shoes by Leo’s? They are a satin pointe shoe with a square suede toe to help students remain on pointe. What do you think of them?

Hungary

Exam

Hey, I’m sitting my first ballet exam in a week and I’m very nervous. Can anyone give me good warm up stretches and any advice on how to keep calm would be great! Thanks!

Pointe practise

Hi I have recently started on pointe and I have really nice pointe shoes and all. When I practise at home, I use my jazz sneakers (the ones with the same flat end as a pointe shoe) because I don’t want to ruin my pointe shoes. I don’t know if this is bad for you. They seem pretty supportive of my feet and ankles but I just want to make sure! Thanks
