Who even thought to dance on your tippy toes with elegant and flexible movements. Human race is incredible fr

[christinevolk]

It’s crazy how ballerinas do that. I could never lol. BEAUTIFUL! Also HOW??

EDIT: OMG guys this is the most likes I have ever gotten THANK YALL SO MUCH!!!

[idknessxx]

i learned like two months ago that ballerinas dont have a wooden thing on the point shows to help them stand up and i feel hella bad for them😭😭

Interesting view, thank you, Lori. Ballet dancers must be the strongest, toughest, most toned and resilient athletes in the world. And beautiful artists, too💐🏆👏

Every year my legs and feet get worse. The toes are dying before my eyes...worth it....well I was an awesome dancer, smiled thru crippling pain and and now I'm nearly 80. The pain stays with me every second. Tell girls while the are young enough to change the outcome. They need to be warned.

When I worked in a specialist orthopaedic centre in Oxford UK I looked after so many ballerinas that needed joint replacements doing, famous ones too. Please do exercises that protect your joints too, because ballet can take a terrible toll on your body if you don’t. Saying that I admire ballet dancers, your skill and grace is wonderful.❤

you really are so beautiful and amazing!

[mayaswimz]

Even in thick running trainers I can't do that! Bravo 👏👏👏👏

[Doglover]

Your so strong Lori !!! 🤩
I had my first pre pointe class today with pre pointe shoes I was so excited

[lisad]

Sb an Olympic sport but it's art; similar to; sculpture, painting, live theater...
So human becomes a machine and keeps a routine and schedule to be able to express their art THRU Their body...
Much Respect

The amount of body control and strength she has in her feet and calves is insane

I prefer with pointe shoes, the toe padding helps me survive practice over 4 hours. My second toe is also longer, but I use big toe and second to stand on. The box really helps me to balance and stay up a long time. ❤❤

Me dolió el solo verlo, por eso las admiro, esas heridas no sanan rápido y deben bailar como si no las tuvieran de un día para otro. Las admiro mucho, se esfuerzan por amor al arte 💕

[danat]

This just seems so impossible to me…All your weight on the toes… and everything a ballerina does looks so flawless.. HOW???? 😂😅

[Masc]

just did like two hours of pointe, my feet died an hour in 😭

[Godlovesyou-eq]

God blessed u with this great talent!!

[TheOfficialDYHO]

The amount of body control and strength it takes to do this! 💖

[Nalou-re]

It's the same for me too...I know this suffering 😭

I would tape every toenail to keep from busting the nail apart or help prevent blood from pooling under the nails.

I could have been a dancer. I had the right build, the right feet. My mom tried when I was 4, but when she came to pick me up from my first ballet class, I was off in a corner somewhere, she said I told the teacher I could not participate in the class because it was time for my nap. Then she said I deliberately gave my little ballet slippers to our dog, who I knew liked to chew on shoes. That was the end of my ballet career.
