I just tried darning for the first time and it’s amazing!!! So cool to see how you darn your shoes! It makes me feel so much more stable :)
I hope you like your darned shoes!

I didn't realize how much work goes into preparing your pointe shoes! Now I know 😊

Melanie you are so inspirational to me! I dont dance but watching your hard work paying off in your dancing really inspired me at my sport (track) and after a season of hard work I just qualified for state! Love you!

Fellow ballet dancer here and I too darn my shoes. However I tend to darn on the bottom of the platform and just one of the sides (right side for right shoe and left side for left shoe). I find that doing so helps keep me on my box and the darning on the side prevents me from sickling. If I darn the top it pulls me off my box.

10 out of 10 for darning, looks neat to me !!!

🩷 You are Amazing dancer! A lot work goes into shoe care! I see a lot of other dancer break the top of their shoes (step on the toe of the shoes to break them), do you break the top part? Why do they break the top of shoe part? I used to dream of being a ballerina 🩰 when I was little, however I’m much older (old lady in her 60s) now. You’re so talented and beautiful young lady and elegant. Thank you for letting us learn about the process of what a ballerina goes through and let us watch you dance. 🩰 Amazing!

A trick for knots is to wrap the thread around the needle a couple times and pull it through. You can start that way and also finish by wrapping the needle close to the fabric and then pulling through.

Luckily I checked your IG or I would have definitely missed this vlog😭

[skriddlehiddles]

How do you remember which is right/left once you figure it out? Can you sharpie it in a discreet spot inside or do you Just Know?

Me watching this like I need to learn but I won’t be starting pointe in years
