Therabands are’t absolutely necessary. Walmart sells pilates bands which are the exact same thing but cheaper and you get three in a pack.
@otnomnoraa
? I’m not getting… That makes you ugly? o.O ahah
I mean, I understand that’s a standard kind of beauty… Is that what you mean?
@HelennaRainhaDeTroia No, I mean women who look like these two would be extremely common, if not mundane and boring where I live. I’ve actually visited the studio this video was shot in.
I was simply mentioning that in some places, women simply look better than others. I’ve visited entire cities where I’d be hard-pressed to encounter a single attractive woman, and others, like the city I live in, where 50% of the women my age are as good-looking or better-looking than these two.
i was waiting for them to start kissing… didnt happen…
good streches, but you guys arent flexible at all!
@UnicornAteMyMusic One thing ou can do if you are not that flexable yet is you can grab a lower area of the leg (not the ankle like shown in the video) and over time reach further up the the leg. It really helps me, I am also not the flexable yet. xD
I used to hate doing theraband work in dance class! lol
this can be VERY dangerous if you don’t know what you’re feeling for…
this can be VERY dangerous if you don’t know what you’re feeling for… or actually doing! Mimicking movement is NOT a way to learn how to move, dance or anything else!
@otnomnoraa That’s your opinion.
@magicmarka13 What are you talking about? All these exercises can be found on an everyday home exercise dvd. Mimicking movement is the way we learn most physical things in life. And as long as a person does not overextend themselves, stretch to the point where they are in pain, or stretch for too long, then they should be okay.
@Yuffie3982 Women who are conventionally attractive in the way these two are are simply much more common in some places than others. I’d call them below average for my area, even though I find them attractive. Even geographically proximate cities can exhibit very different frequencies of certain attractive traits. For example, the mostly Jewish yet deemed “WASP-y” areas tend to have a very small selection of both attractive males and females. These two are quite far from WASP-y, for the record.
@otnomnoraa It became your opinion when you brought in the word “attractive”. Attraction is completely relative and there is no reasonable standard for attraction. By conventionally attractive, you mean the typical Eurocentric look. No? That’s conventionally attractive in America thanks to media influence. The person who originally commented said that these women have the perfect face and body. That is their opinion. You said that they are below average. That’s your opinion. Let it go.
@Yuffie3982 Yes, from a Eurocentric perspective (no such thing as “Eurocentric” look) as well as common Eastern and Middle-Eastern perspectives; and if anything, American media does the opposite of promote Eurocentric ideals; if you look at any other country, like Taiwan, India, Mexico, or Brazil, it’s always the most charismatic and attractive people who represent the cultural schemas in media; in America, it’s all about connections, background, and rarely the intangibles/quality of the actor.
@Yuffie3982 Yes they are on everyday DVDs & for many people not only are they NOT helpful but dangerous! Sadly too often people people DO NOT recognize when they are “overextending themselves” & this society still has the mentality of “No Pain, No Gain” which is a HUGE misconception! There is a HUGE difference between Pain and Discomfort & too many people DON’T know the difference!

@otnomnoraa From where I’m from, a eurocentric look is the typical Caucasian look. And you’re completely wrong, people of color are underrepresented in the media, especially in America. In fact, I can quote a fashion designer who said that they want to see women of color who looks like a white person dipped in chocolate/caramel. But the point that I’m trying to make is that the media is not representative of everyone. Personally, I don’t agree with your idea of conventionally attractive.
@magicmarka13 Well, if people are not smart enough to know when they are in pain, then whose problem is that? That’s like seeing a nutrition video and saying “this is dangerous. Most people wont know if they are eating too much or eating too fast.” I mean, this is common sense. If they don’t have it, then it’s their problem. We all have choices and they can choose not to do these stretches.
@otnomnoraa Bro, I’m done arguing about this. Either way, you’re putting a standard on attraction which is not realistic. There is no such thing as conventionally attractive. You think these women are okay. The other person thought that they were perfect. It’s DONE. You cannot debate attraction. And I’m sorry, but white is white. Irish, Jewish…whatever. People find stupid ass reasons to separate themselves from each other, but you are what you. In the end, a human is a human so who cares?
@Yuffie3982 If you believe in WASP influence or anything like that today, you’re straight up ignoring the facts; there has been a very considerable prejudice and movement against “white” America in this country. Maybe we don’t all want to be grouped in with the Jewish architects of war like Perle, Frum, Wolfowitz, and Feith (who stand for nothing other than Zionism/Israeli dominance). Maybe I’m Finnish and feel like A FEW delineations deserve to be made. I hear you though. People ARE people.
waoo! this helped me soo much thankyouuu!

I liked a video Florescent Pink Pointe Shoes! [3rd Pointe Vid]
The montage in Black Swan where everyone tapes their toes and rips/breaks in their pointe shoes just gave me intense flashbacks.
Ballet Shoes.
This post is so funny and refreshingly honest, too! I agree that some (if not most) of the freshly pressed are not anything to write home about. They say they want you to have a very catchy title. I write about ballet-pointe shoes and have tried to get creative with a title: Pointe shoe strangled by frustrated ballerina….but then my readers would leave me.!!!! How about: One Legged Ballerina Makes Pointe Shoes Last Twice As Long? The only way I could have a catchy title would be to edit it after getting on freshly pressed so I could get my readers back . ……By the way, your blog is beautifully designed!!
No, but the original music for The Red Shoes (1989) is credited to composer Caleb Sampson.
In my ballet school, the pointe class is 11+. It is most likely to be ok, but if you are unsure maybe talk to other people on pointe or the people who are fitting your shoes:)
Ps: I am also 11 but i will have to go on pointe at 14 as i am a late
