The Sewing of the Ribbons: A Pointe Shoe Afternoon
Added 2020-04-22 20:00:03 +0000 UTCErnestine prepares a new pare of pointe shoes!
As I sew, I discuss:
-what I'm doing
-what I love about pointe
-how one trains to dance en pointe
-Does it hurt?
-how you can love yourself and genuinely enjoy ballet too, even though it sometimes it hurts
-the amazing feeling of dancing up there in the sky
-how people are constantly asking me if I'm a ballet dancer. "What gave it away?"
-how it changes your body when you start training in ballet at the age of 7
-a bit about partnering on pointe and falling in love with all the male ballet dancers
-The Mouse King
-Etc., etc., etc.
Keep watching until the end! Because I score the toe of the shoe with scissors and then put them on for the very first time!
Enjoy!
Fondly,
Ernestine
