I'm enjoying how much Molly Searcy enjoys her job! I'm also very glad that a little time was taken to point out that men generally don't dance en pointe. It's a common misconception that they do.
Aves Raggiana yeah on a lot of pointe shoe videos they use 'her shoes' or 'the women's shoes' and a lot of comments are about it being sexist bitten just don't go en pointe
It's not never to late to start taking ballet lessons. If your goal is a professional career in ballet that might be a different matter. It will depend on your abilitiy and raw talent. Misty Copeland started at 13. Evelyn Hart at 14 so it is possible. It's not that common however...but it is possible. It will all depend on you. Pointe work is not for everyone. There is much more to ballet than pointe work...and because you are on pointe or not does not mean a lot. I've seen many teachers putting people of all ages on pointe only because the students insisted....most qualified teachers with any credentials are very reluctant to put students on pointe. You can put anyone in pointe shoes...and make them stand on their toes. That won't make them a ballerina.
I only took a semester in college, and I ache to continue. I don't have the body, and I have too much weight, I'm also 27. This might be silly, but I LOVED floor bar. I miss ballet. I looked forward to it more than any class....
2:25, Hey, i have the same kind of feet! Cool! Can't say I've ever had trouble finding ballet shoes that fit (even pointe shoes) but I will say that it's difficult to find high heels that fit (I'm also a drag queen, as a hobby.)
They should bring a lullaby box and put a ballet women to go on top of that lullaby box when the music begins then the women starts to spin slowly like a lullaby does doing the poses and all that!!
I would say houston is one of the top 5 ballet companies in united states. I did ballet for 14 yrs as double majored in business and dance but ended up looking for a new job as a white collar around TX OK..haha...
No! there's 30-60 year old women at my studio that are just starting. Go for it, if you stick to it you might be on pointe before or by the time you finish high school. good luck!
I started ballet when I was 15, and I'm 17 now and have been on pointe for most of the year, after breaking my ankle really bad 3 years ago! It's never too late to start ballet!
I started modern dance this year and I am 11 and I really want to do dance when I am older but I think I will have to do ballet as well to do that I feel like I am too late any tips
Anacats4life there's nothing like too late, specially If it's a hobby. I know many girls who started at 18 and are nowadays dancing on pointe. Of course they wish they have entered earlier, but 11 is one of the best ages - it's when your body is more is as flexible as it can be and you're more councious of yourself. ;)
Loana de Motonui aww thx soooo much do the tips I am on the waiting list for the ballet company my cousin dances with them and she says they are good to work with
+Zephie lovet I don't know if I am correct in saying this but from what I understand...you have compressible feet if your toes/bones/foot in general move to fit the shoe it is in aka your foot molds into what shoe it is in. Meaning the bones or area before the toes can squish and become more narrow. If you don't have compressible feet it means your foot is set in one shape and is resisting any attempt to reshape it.
Mathilde Espinosa you can try. I started dancing at fourteen and ballet at fifteen and I just started out on pointe recently (I'm 16). My old street dance teacher started dancing really late too and was asked for the national ballet in my country (she said no though, but it is still cool) You just gotta be lucky with your turn-out (since you can still improve but not as much as someone who is younger). And if you cannot do ballet as a professional, you could try modern dance. It's close to ballet, but much more loose and way less strict. I've literally had ballet technique exercises in my modern class XD. Maybe try taking as many ballet classes as you can (since you prefer to do this) in combination with one modern class. If you do that you have some basic modern experience and something to fall back to, if you wanna be a professional dancer but ballet isn't working out :)
Niamh Faulkner Very. They don't tip-toe around (weight on the balls of feet) but literally on tips of their toes. That's intense pressure, so professionals can lose toenails, get fractures, and intense bruising. Men tend to have muscular and ankle injuries since the stain comes more from jumping and lifting.
It depends on the intensity of the pointe work (how long you are on pointe at a time, pain tolerance, shoe fit and padding, shoe quality (how worn out it is)) it’s painful for long amounts of time but if I have a sturdy shank and the box is not worn out, I personally am more comfortable in pointe shoes than I am in high heels and I have worn heels longer than I have worn pointe shoes (8 years of heels 6 months of pointe)
Lauren Cao it's not a piece of wood it is many layers of a plaster like substance stacked with mesh and fabric layers that's why they wear down like they do
Dayanara Vasquez I don't dance ballet, no experience whatsoever, but let me tell you this, imagine all your weight being held up by the tip pf you toes. Imagine standing dead on the tips, *dead*. Get it now?
After watching about 15 ballet videos, I'm convinced that all this attention to detail (especially with the tutu) is not especially necessary. Of course, it's different with pointe shoes. But if they were honest about it, who actually gets THAT close to see that there are 13 rather than 15 layers to the tutu, and 31 crystals and not 29. The ONLY people who would know or care are the dancers and the person who is producing the ballet. The audience cannot see the detail to which she is referring. It is money not very well-spent, in my humble opinion.
lucy girl i can never respect people like you who like to belittle people's professions and passions. Have some passion in something and then come tell us that fine details don't matter.

Did you guys know that Molly Searcy voices Akame from Akame Ga Kill and Centorea from Monster Musume?
Fun fact: Molly Searcy was actually English VA of Akame from Akame Ga Kill, Isuzu Sento from Amagi Brilliant Park and Queen from No Game No Life

Is it to late to start ballet when you are 14 years old?
No, I'm 16 and I'm going to start ballet in 3 weeks
It is never too late, you'll just have to work harder :)
No! there's 30-60 year old women at my studio that are just starting. Go for it, if you stick to it you might be on pointe before or by the time you finish high school. good luck!
Sessy Malin I'm 13 and I'm going on pointe And I have only done ballet for 4 months

Hi Molly!!!!!
I started modern dance this year and I am 11 and I really want to do dance when I am older but I think I will have to do ballet as well to do that I feel like I am too late any tips
Anacats4life there's nothing like too late, specially If it's a hobby. I know many girls who started at 18 and are nowadays dancing on pointe.

Loana de Motonui aww thx soooo much do the tips I am on the waiting list for the ballet company my cousin dances with them and she says they are good to work with
I started doing ballet when I was fifteen, now I am on pointe. You are definitely not to old :)
Girl, Misty Copeland started at age 13 and look where she is now! If you're serious about ballet, go for it!
what does it mean when you don't have compressable feet? I never quite understood that
+Zephie lovet I don't know if I am correct in saying this but from what I understand...you have compressible feet if your toes/bones/foot in general move to fit the shoe it is in aka your foot molds into what shoe it is in.

What is the name of the ballet at 2:50?
if i'm 13 and begin to take classes consistently up to 6 days, eventually would i be able to go professional
Mathilde Espinosa you can try. I started dancing at fourteen and ballet at fifteen and I just started out on pointe recently (I'm 16). My old street dance teacher started dancing really late too and was asked for the national ballet in my country (she said no though, but it is still cool)

Very possible
Dang, it can cost an average of $1200 a month just for shoes!!
Jailynn the mermaid for professionals, yes.
What doese one pair of them cost?
$75 to $100, more for custom shoes.
50-199 dollers
Cheapest pointe shoes I have ever seen were about 20$ a pair online and poor quality
So schön
How painful is it to do pointe
Niamh Faulkner Very. They don't tip-toe around (weight on the balls of feet) but literally on tips of their toes. That's intense pressure, so professionals can lose toenails, get fractures, and intense bruising. Men tend to have muscular and ankle injuries since the stain comes more from jumping and lifting.

What is the piece at 4:10 ??
BaylynPaige its from romeo and juliet
The knight - prokofiev
2:58
Hold up, does it hurt when you do Pointe?
Lauren Cao it's not a piece of wood it is many layers of a plaster like substance stacked with mesh and fabric layers that's why they wear down like they do
YES VERY MUCH
Im sry to say this but this is a stupid question
Dayanara Vasquez I don't dance ballet, no experience whatsoever, but let me tell you this, imagine all your weight being held up by the tip pf you toes. Imagine standing dead on the tips, *dead*. Get it now?
It does, it could even get injured on it and toe nails get broken.
It seems so painful why would you do that to yourself?... I mean I know why but still you know.... why? (Guys who am I)
*Pointe
*Pointe
DON'T BOTHER BREAKS DOWN NOTHING!

*watches CZcams video*
*becomes expert in something*
lucy girl i agree tbh
lucy girl i can never respect people like you who like to belittle people's professions and passions. Have some passion in something and then come tell us that fine details don't matter.
Ballet is about perfection. If people will notice or not that's not the pointe (hehe)
lucy girl yes, but don't forget that this accuracy makes ballet the perfect dance. I am a dancer and I actually enjoy this accuracy
