      ​@@tatumgross9391 The only thing, as a non dancer, that I can think of is a costume attachment. Regular fastening like most dancers, with long ribbons attached to the shoe to cover the functional fasteners and wrap up the leg for dramatic visual effect? Meaning that the long ribbons have no functional fastening purpose? That would be my guess. I imagine that it would still be annoying for the dancer as she moves her leg muscles.

      Had a girl like that in my class, and no one liked her. It's funny, because she would try to show off extra in class, but no one would give her attention for it. The instructor would occasionally, but I don't think the girl cared, just wanted to show off to the class her ✨Amazing✨ skills. My favorite memory of her was when she tried to correct someone right after the instructor lectured a girl for falling out of a turn, the instructor, with no patience after the lecture, told the girl what she was doing wrong with her turns. The look she had was priceless.

    My ick is when teachers don’t take injuries seriously or act like making mistakes aren’t human. My ✨lovely✨ teachers.. I’ll just talk about one incident or else this would be a while.
    I fell at dance not too long ago and ended up having to leave early to go to the doctors. Found out I broke my foot in two places as well as screwed up my ankle (I sprained it). How did my teachers react? Well.. first thing they said was that I was expected to still attend class. Okay yeah, I can do that. Except that I still had to dance on it! So not only was I dancing in a boot, I was expected to be healed at certain time, plus know all my dances (that we were literally learning the day I broke my foot) and dance them 101% when cleared from my boot.
    So yeah.. I had an appointment after 6 weeks to check my healing, got told I’ll have to go the whole 8 weeks, and I had a breakdown. I had dance after being told that and I had a panic attack. I was scared, mad at myself, and so upset because I wouldn’t be out of the boot when they expected me to be, I was in pain and didn’t want to keep dancing on my BROKEN foot, I didn’t know every dance of mine because the day I broke my foot was the day we were learning 3 dances I was in and I can’t dance right because again.. I’m in a literal heavy freakin’ boot and had no time to learn it because if I’m broken at dance, I’m not magically healed at home. And sorry, I’m gonna rest my foot like I’m supposed to be doing.
    Long story short I quit. They weren’t happy but y’know what? I wasn’t happy that they insulted me for something I couldn’t control. Oh, and those 6-8 weeks I was supposed to be in a boot for? Yeah, ended up being more than that. I wonder why.. 🤔

    My ballet ick is when teachers choose their favorites.
    Here is a story!-
    So when I was dancing g in professional ballet, I sometimes felt sick, or hurt my self(like a spraind ankle). I just brushed it off, thinking it was nothing, but then we have my teacher, and her favorite student. And when I meen it was her favorite, I mean it. She basically teated her as her golden child, or an angel. When the student looked a bit green, but was completely okay, she went like " Are tou okay sweet??? You look sick. Go home and rest.", but when I looked sick, or was actually sick, she didn't even care, like she saw me and was like " Hey, stop slacking, just drink some water. Now get back." And I was like "what the duck?". I also once spraind my ankle, but was still dancing, and guess what, my teacher didn't even bet an eye, or felt that she has to understand, I can't dance that good now, I have a spraind ankel. Oh and let's not talk about the costumes, she would give the best ones to her students, while I got a one that was almost broken, but just didn't say anything, cause I have to be respectful and everything, and I was. So let's say it wasn't a good experience, and after 3 years of pain and suffering, I quit ballet, and now I'm doing contemporary dances that I enjoy a lot.
    After a while the teacher got suspended from teaching, or something like that. But yeah that is my biggest ick in ballet dancing.

      Okthis is late but I’m here to tell you that most American ballet academies do not teach any of that :/ I didn’t even know Russian ones did, but that’s pretty neat! Usually the girls here learn from their moms when they’re really young, or they teach one another. The director (+ costume designers if it’s a larger show) will have a certain way they want it and they usually expect you to just figure it out lol, they will certainly let you know if you did it wrong 😅 These girls are only so good because they’ve probably been doing it since they were very young! practice makes perfect as we all know

    The injured one though. I'm not a dancer, I did a musical once in school. Towards the end of 2 weeks of rehearsals, I could feel like my voice was gonna give. So I told the director I wanted to save my voice for the performance. The director was completely understanding and basically let me lip synch for the last couple rehearsals.

      Just an honest question... what do you/dancer's do during their periods, while having to wear thin tights, thin leotards etc... there's no place to hide a pad... do you all use tampons, or get that time off? Do you take medicine to stop or lighten your cycles (asking as a woman that has extremely heavy cycles/flow) or do you just hope for the best that as your raising your legs, doing splits etc... that you aren't leaking anywhere? I wonder the same for gymnasts and ice skaters as well. Sorry if this is TMI, but it's a real and honest question, because periods happen... so, how do you beautiful, graceful ladies deal with all the pain, stink & mess? I adore ballet, gymnastics & ice skating! ❤️

Like me, due to internal damage I sustained as a child (through sexual abuse) I can't wear tampons. Anyway, it's good that there is the option for shorts or black tights etc. I would have loved to be a graceful dancer/gymnast, but I am not graceful, nor steady, nor do I have a sense of balance... lol 😵‍💫

    This is absolutely bizarre to me…. I graduated from Vaganova in the 90’s, I danced with the corps de ballet for a year, and was accepted by the Mariinsky. I have always used matte satin ribbons… and all of the professional dancers that I’ve ever danced with and known in my life, have all used some form of satin ribbon for the most part. I use some elastics and flexors as needed. The other thing is that as professional dancers were all sweaty, and it’s not something that everyone really complains about because we’re all working really hard, and it’s just part of it. I was going through 3-4 pairs of pointe shoes a week… and by the time I was done making them exactly how I wanted them to be, they looked awful… but all of our shoes looked awful LOL. The only time our shoes ever looked pristine was during a performance. Where i come from, people are dedicated… their working so hard and sacrificing so much, and the respect between us if there, even though things can be petty sometimes.
