Have you ever wondered how people do pointe dance? Well, actually I am one of those people. It seems really hard but actually it is not. There are three ways that you can improve your pointe dancing skills. The first way to improve pointe is to stretch your feet really well. This will help with both cramps and the way your dancing style looks. When you do leaps and arabesques in ballet, you want your feet to be pointed.

Beauty is pain and the beauty of your feet after you’re done and the pain-staking hours it takes to break in the shoes is so worth it. The most crucial step in taking this class…

following reasons: we got to dress up, the homecoming dance, and the parade. Getting to dress up turned us into kids again. Dressing up for homecoming week was fun; although it wasn't for everyone. Most of the people here dressed up,even the teachers, according to each day of the week. Each day was different all through the school week. Everyone had a blast dressing up.

began to take Eritrean cultural dance lessons in order to be part of the Eritrean festival dance performance. I have always wanted to excell in everything that I do, especially if it meant a lot to me. I did not expect that these dance lessons would provide me with the lesson of handling failure and criticism.
