The first time you stand up on pointe shoes 😣🩰 #ballerina #pointe

Ballerina here 👋. It shouldn’t be hurting that bad and if it is then her feet aren’t ready for it, also if they hurt they should tell the instructor and not be doing combinations on one foot yet.

she's rethinking her life choices 😂

Awwww, man!!! Take me back 50years, sweetheart. Yup, dont miss it- youre living your dream ❤❤❤

When Andersen wrote in the little mermaid "every step she takes hurts like a milion needles in her feet" I think he was thinking about classic dancers.😂

Literally me when I first got pointe shoes. Now I'm almost 30 and still on pointe I can say that properly fitted shoes make a world of difference.

Ballerinas go through so much to bring us the beauty of the dance.

[mothyca]

Ex-ballerina here. Those pointe shoes either don't fit correctly or her feet aren't properly warmed up, these shoes aren't supposed to hurt you that bad. You get those little plastic/fabric guards for your toes as an extra layer of protection and comfort and with proper warm-up there shouldn't be any problems. Please next time talk to your instructor about that and maybe check if your point shoes are in the wrong size.

Enough about the shoes.... she's absolutely adorable as all get out!! ❤

Get this girl demi points and send her to Josephine!

Just to clear it up: If I find the original post (on Instagram) I will know exactly what it was but it said that this was NOT her first day on pointe but that this was just after a long day of rehearsals and additionally they had some performances the previous week, so she was just tired but normally she would've been fine.

It shouldn’t be hurting this bad. I’ve been a ballerina since 09 and if it’s this bad my advice is get a refitting or schedule an appointment ASAP, I’m not sure if the shoes are too small but definitely bring them in!

[becciemarshall]

This really made me chuckle 😅Bless her ❤

[frances.wiseFIW]

I remember those days It gets better!! And less painful❤

[tdbhmusic]

I mean...she looks at the camera every time she makes a face, it's as if she's just communicating with her mom. she's probably super excited about it and that's why she's so expressive. going on pointe is such a rite of passage for young ballet dancers.

I’m going onto pointé next year, I’ll be 12. wish me luck!

[actor_reece]

As a ballerina… IT SHOULD NOT HURT THAT BAD UNLESS HER FEET ARENT READY FOR IT!!! Especially if you’re under 12

[MirandaMilner]

My old studio was very careful about being sure students were ready for pointe before we started. When I got my first pair, it didn’t hurt at all to go up on pointe. Once you’ve been wearing them for a few excercises it can get a little sore right on the spot where you put all of your weight at the tip of your toes, but it really shouldn’t hurt that bad. If it feels that terrible, either your feet aren’t ready for pointe, or your shoes really don’t fit you well at all.

Молодец, как старается превосходя боль. Умничка и красавица, успехов в начинаниях.

[piper.slays]

Ballerina here 👋. Your feet shouldn’t hurt that bad, unless you aren’t ready for it. In my studio (and yes, I get every studio is different), you have to be 12 to even do point. My friends’ mom did point and broke her foot because her shoe didn’t fit properly (that can also be a problem) so I would tell your instructor 🤷‍♀️. Stay safe!

Baby Reese Witherspoon at the barre on pointe !!😍❤️
