Eh. I was hoping I would have loved these. Im excited to see them on once they are sewn & broken in. #pointe #pointeshoes #ballet #bloch #etu #ballerina
Sound proofing to reduce the echo by using wall mounted acoustic panels and hanging baffles. This dramatically reduced the echo since we have such tall ceilings. I’m so happy with our results and the reduced frequencies. #acoustic #dancestudio #tallceilings #echo #baffles #dance #ballet
Replying to @mammarisrssa Pointe shoes are broken to accentuate the foot and arch. Every person has a different foot & preference. #pointe #pointeshoes #ballet #ballerina
I do NOT care how high your leg is. Placement is ALWAYS the most important. Supporting leg strong, hips square, shoulders down, pelvis neutral, ribs knitted. What tips do you want next? #ballet #stretch #extensions #dancer #dancing
I wish i could wear socks with the split-soles because they get SO stinky. 😭💔 So i have been wearing ballet shoes. But I prefer to teach in dance sneakers if i am teaching for multiple hours. I like that i can articulate through my foot to demonstrate for the students. These split-soles make long teaching ngihts feel much easier. My knees and hips are so thankful. #fuego #dancesneaker #teachingshoe #danceshoe #danceshoes #shoes #ballet #teacher #ballerina

Go see a dance nutritionist if you find yourself counting calories, restricting food intake, etc. We need healthy, strong dancers! The more you know the happier & more free you will be! 💖 I no longer weigh myself or worry about calories. I just want to feel good & fuel my temple! I wish the same for every body!!! #nutrition #ballet #ballerina #balletdancer #teacher

We break things down step-by-step to help the students retain the info and buid muscle memory. #pirouettes #pirouette #turning #pointe #dancestudio #ballet #dancer #dance #teacher #longervideo pirouettes by: @melanie 🤩
Most importantly, have fun!! Conventions are an amazing way to try new styles & learn from the industry’s leading dancers & instructors. Dance conventions are a great way to receive scholarships & make connections. Don't get discouraged if you're struggling.

I grew up attending dance conventions. Now I get to teach at them. They are an amazing way to learn from industry moguls and step out of your comfort zone. You can also get scholarships & connections with leading choreographers. #dance #ballet #teacher #convention #competition #dancers
I see so many dance families focusing on an insane number of competition dances. While I think the performance experience is great, we should calue quality over quantity. And invest the saved money into more diverse training & experiences. #hottake #dancecompetition #ballet #barre #dancer #dancestudio #professionaldancer
Breaking into the professional dance industry is cut throat. Its a lot about talent, hard work, dedication, lots of auditions, and networking. Do you want to go pro? #dance #professional #ballet #ballerina #flexible #stretch #stretching #lake #dock
