Why is everyone en pointe!?
I am in my late 40's I danced growing up and into my late 20's. I'll take adult drop in classes with friends from time to time. Am I a highly skilled professional dancer...not in the least, but I went to a studio that required ballet in order to be in graded levels. All I see now is videos of girls performing in groups and solos en pointe and they have no basic technique at all. They have no turn out, bent knees and just look sloppy all around. It also seems like an injury waiting to happen....
