Ballet Must Have: Foam blocks! Tapered toe Pointe Shoes

 So, to all the dancers/ flexible/ fitness people out there: I would highly recommend foam blocks, y’all! 

They are so helpful for arch stretches with a stretch band, for the pointe girls. ;) 💙 

For split stretches: you can stack 2 and hold for a minute, stack one and hold for a minute, and then sit in your split. It’s a good gradual warm up. 

Then for an over split stretch: just put one underneath your leg right behind your knee (super stretch, y’all! Painful but helpful! Your grand jetes will be better). 

These are my tapered toe Capezio pointe shoe sand I do not like them! They are not my favorite and I won’t get them again, for sure. Pretty disappointed in the tapered end. It makes a nice line when pointing but it’s not worth the imbalance feeling I get. 

I find the block too narrow for good balance, and clumsy on turns and spins. Not nice… 

Anyways… Keep dancing for Jesus! :) ha ha Have a beautiful night! 💙💙💙
