Anonymous: So...I go to a super small studio that runs only during the school year, and I'm taking my first year of pointe. Problem is, the pointe class is a mix of pointe/ballet, and there's no time to focus on just pointe girls alone and strengthening up ankles, plus the teacher doesn't know how to teach pointe. (awful, I know...) Any tips? I'm so scared of rolling or breaking my ankle. I pretty much have to learn everything on my own, and it sucks :(
is there no other balletstudio nearby? it’s very dangerous to learn pointe on your own or with a teacher who doesn’t know how to teach it. you should change to another studio or stop taking pointe lessons. we hope you’ll find a good solution :)
