Ballet Boot Journal

daddy's_girl · 9th August 2008, 05:08

I'm eighteen and have just been introduced to all of this. :) I recently purchased a pair of ballet boots online, and am really enjoying them. I've decided to keep a log about all of my experiences and what I learn.

You can find my journal here: http://ladywinterman.wordpress.com/

And my first steps in the boots can be easily seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBiz8_MCIAU or on my journal.

Enjoy! And let me know what you think. :)

Well done I think you did very well for saying it was your first steps. You seem to be able to straighten your legs which is a feat in itself.

Thanks! And thanks for all the greetings, on here and in PM's.

Straightening my legs was easier than I expected, really. Even on my first day. I'm very happy with myself about that. :) I also made the laces rather loose around the knees and then tight again around the thighs. That may have helped.

Thank you again for all the support! I'm very happy to have found this site.

Welcome to the forum,
you will find pleanty of enlightened people on here who can walk in ballets too.
Pata from Light-fetish.de is probably one of the best.
Enjoy your new challenge, keep up the practice, and ignore the idiots.

I've just watched the video, and for a first timer in ballets,
I think that she does very well.
With a little practice, she'll be as good as all the other ballet wearers here,
and a lot of practice, she'll be catching Pata up.

*blushes* thank you, Sir. but, i think it will take me quite a while to be even remotely close to Pata's skill level. though, i will continue to do my best, of course.

I'm jealous, you're already doing way better on your first try then me. I still can't get my knees straight.

aw. that's okay! *pets* do you have thigh-high ones? if so, try lacing them up tighter... if you already have them tight, just make sure you're holding onto something and try to straighten your legs out and really concentrate on that for a few moments rather than your balance (that's where the holding onto something part comes into play!)... that's the best advice i can give after only a week... i think it really helps that i rollerblade so much, but also the fact that they were laced up tight around my knees and thighs, so it was kindasorta impossible to bend.

bonne chance!
