Eva, I started ballet at 21, got my 1st pair of pointe shoes at 23, and danced a lead role en pointe this year at 27. You can totally do this. You go girl!!!!!
Were you in classes with other adults if you don't mind me asking? And you just kept going up the levels? I'm trying to get started at 23. Did you have any prior dance experience?
That's amazing!
whaat ??? same thing, exaaact same thing 23 staring pointe this year, getting a peak to the future thank youuu!!
are you enrolled in an adult
school? or just taking casual classes? @@ibtissamesalbi1
@@AM-dd6dxsame here! i’m very curious about how to get started. this was my childhood dream and i just want to fulfill it.
Your pointe shoe fitter was amazing! She explained everything so well and kept encouraging you, and the pointe shoes looked great on you in the end !
Aww. That reminds me of the time I got my first pair of point shoes... and I was 38! So.... go for it!! Enjoy, have fun 🎉
Wow! What an inspiration! When did you start dancing?
@@abbiedabbie2011 i think it was in my mid 20s. Had 3 kids about a year after I started (they are now 9, 6, and 3) but I'm so glad I can take classes twice a week. I started going on point in March this year. The fun part is that my two daughters love ballet aswell and I can dance with them. I WISH I could have started as a kid but thats the way it is now.
Wow. Interesting. Did you have any experience with dance before that?
I'm striving for pointe shoes in the next year or so, and I'm 37. I just started ballet a little over two years ago because why not? I'll be very curious to see how my fitting goes because my two feet are a whole size different in street shoes (one's an 8, the other's a 9) and my second toe is longer than my "big toe" on both of my feet. 🤔
I congratulate you from here in Brazil, even without knowing you you are an inspiration. Health and prosperity to you and your family
Congratulations Eva!!!!!!!!!!! As a late starter who got their first pointe shoes at 14 I am so proud of you!!!
I got my first ones at 14 as well! It’s so encouraging for me to hear people who started later but are still successful! ❤
Got mine at age 14 as well.
I think 14 is a good age to start!
@@abby.fulleraop2010 yess I started ballet at 12 and went on pointe at 14!
thats not late, because the age that is said that should start is 12 or 11. I started at age 13
Hi Eva. The lady who fitted you was absolutely amazing, all the knowledge she knew about ballet everything really about shoes and feet, too. Well done to you too.
💖💖💖
I remember being a little girl who dreamed of being en pointe. I ended up in gymnastics growing up instead. At 19 now I still have that dream to learn to dance (for fun) and eventually make it to being en pointe. It’s encouraging seeing other adults in the comments getting them later in life. I don’t feel too old :)
I did gymnastics for years and years and then tore my ACL and started ballet after surgery. I was 17 when I started and went en pointe at 18! Now I'm 29 still doing ballet still loving it.
oh my gosh yes!! this is me!! i did ballet when i was really little and started again last year at 15. my goal is to get en pointe next year before i graduate highschool! i loved gymnastics but wasn't very good and ballet is so wonderful.
i’m 19 and i used to do ballet when i was like 5 but i haven’t done it since! i really want to start again but i can’t even find a place near me that does classes for beginners my age 😢
Same situation for me! Used to do ballet when I was in elementary school but stopped and now I'm 19 and wish I had continued. Now I have so much schoolwork that I don't think I'll have time to go to any dance practices if I even manage to find lessons 😢@@vickyw.6544
Such an exciting moment. I did this last year at age 49. One of my classmates was even older, 54! I’m on pair 3 now, have had a different style/brand each time, and am pretty happy with my current pair (RP Brava). I have tried Capezio (first ever pair) and Bloch too. I have a chonky forefoot and toes and zero heel, have been barefoot a lot 😂.
Where do you take classes? I would love to go back.
@@raisaromaelle3572 In Adelaide, South Australia….. A really fabulous studio catering only to adults or older beginner teens. One of the ladies returning to ballet is 82!
I got my 1st pair last year at 50! Here's to all the ol ladies who still have a passion for dance!
@@killsa Absolutely - our feet are far less likely to be damaged as they have long finished growing, and we often have more body awareness than tiny girls.
Can you also take beginner classes with only older people? :) that would be amazing because I would really like to start but I‘ll be around 30 or even older when I get the chance...
OMG I JUST GOT MY FIRST PAIR LAST WEEK!!!! I had my first pointe class yesterday, and it only hurt a little bit, but I’m super excited. Even though I’m 12 and you’re 26, it’s not to late for you to start! Congratulations on getting your pointe shoes! I hope you have a really fun time using them!!
❤how much did you have to train? I'm 19, I'm a beginner but I want to know how long you train to be able to dance on pointe
@@MOMOMACHIN It depends on the school, your age, and strength. My school isn’t an intense ballet or competitive school, we just dance. One hour per class, per week. I personally won’t be able to start pointe until next year as a 9th grader which will be my 10th year of dance. I don’t think you’ll have to wait 10 years though lol. You’re already 19 so your foot should be fully developed. As far as my case goes, it’s only because that’s my school’s rules. 9th grade = old enough for pointe.
@@MOMOMACHINI did dance when I was little however I quit due to covid. 2 years ago I started ballet class again and only did 1 hour a week. This year I had to do 3 hours of ballet a week to be able to go en pointe. I also did/ still do multiple different styles of dance and have been complemented on my feet by a lot of different teachers. Usually it is 2 years but since I new the foundation and I did multiple styles of dance I was able to go on pointe. Both of my ballet teachers checked my feet and my technique and said I was ready, my ballet teacher also checked my pointe shoes before I sewed them.
@@AthenaBuildz At my studio the earliest you can start is 11, they recommend 12 because that’s when your foot is fully grown, and your bones are developed.
@@grace9384 Yeah, I think at my studio it’s because they like to take extra precautions and their whole moto is to dance for joy, dance for fun, that type of stuff so they don’t force us and pressure as to have good technique when we’re young. We start to get more serious around 5th grade but we still take it easy. 7th and 8th grade are the years where things get more serious. Also because a lot of kids quit when they’re young, so if we made it this far we’re probably there to stay.
I’m starting my first ballet classes in the fall ! And I’m 26 💕 I’m so happy to watch these videos
“Break a leg”.
Yesss you go girl
me too I'm 18
It’s never to late to do anything! 💖🩰✨
Hey that's my tribe over here, I'm 28 and I'm starting in September! Good luck 🥰
Started at 15 and I'll be getting my first pair at 17 in two weeks!! Watching you learn to dance has been so much fun congrats on your pointe shoes!
Jamie is so sweet, and she explained everything so clearly. A born educator and a pro fitter! Huge congrats on getting your first pointe shoes! 🩰
To see a point shoe fitter at work is incredible. They see so much we never even notice.
I didn’t know you could do pointe if you start as an adult! This makes me so excited to eventually try ballet. Congratulations Eva! 🎉
wow.. the amount of detail and explaination she gave about everything is incredible. I wish when I got my first pointe shoes 15+ years ago I got fitted like this because it's going to help you so much in the long run. She is AMAZING
Jamie is amazing. She was so welcoming to a beginner, not condescending at all. We want more people like her, and not just in the ballet world but everywhere. Brought my sewing machine to a repair shop last week and the lady was so condescending and elitist I hated her. Wish she could have been a Jamie.
If I ever get my pointe shoes I wanna go to this lovely lady, she’s so reassuring and so knowledgeable
I was 37 with my first pair !!! Ahh congrats!
amber sounded like a proud mom 😂💗
This is so exciting! Your journey makes me want to do ballet again. As a kid, I hated the rights and I have the flattest feet in the world, so I could never do pointe. I loved dancing though, I just kinda fell out of it and into other things. This is so cool to watch you go through this! You’re never too old to try new things! You’re so cool :)
Awwzzzz Eva so excited for you. That's a huge milestone as a dancer to get her first pair of pointe shoes and it's also the best feeling ever. When I got my first pair I was 11 and I never wanted to take them off because it made me feel like a pretty ballerina. Now I can't wait to see the videos you make of you in your pointe shoes.
I love this. It is so motivating to watch adult dancers just dancing for the joy and fun of it. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Congrats Eva!! You seriously deserve it
This was so wholesome HAHA the cheering and support ...so cute! ❤
eva and everyone else is giving me hope for myself. i started ballet last year at 17, and what i want more than anything is to dance en pointe, but i had worried i started too late. now i know i can get there eventually and im excited to keep working towards that goal!
this really gives me so much hope as a 23 year old wannabe dancer. i did ballet in 2020 but anxiety was my catalyst to me quitting :( so happy for you!
Go back to it. If you love dance you love dance! Don’t let anything or anyone get in your way ❤
Sooooo proud of you Eva!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎊🎉 such an amazing feeling getting your first pair of pointe shoes 🥹
Oh my gosh! Congratulations! Amazing, all your hard work had payed off! You look fantastic on pointe
Congratulations and well done! You're such an inspiration and love how supportive Amber and Bella are ❤
I am so proud of you 👏 🥰 💛 🥲
Thank you for sharing this special moment! You are such an inspiration!!!💖
I'm so excited for you!!! I've been watching for a while and I love your videos. Congratulations!
Congratulations! I can't imagine how amazing it must feel to finally go on point!
The level of joy in this video lol! Love.
The fitter was phenomenal!! And congrats 🎉
So exciting!! All your hard work is really coming to fruition 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Watching this happen felt like that Harry Potter scene where Harry goes to the magic wand shop and the owner personalizes his suggestions based on him. You can tell this woman knows exactly what she's doing. She pays so much attention to every single detail.
I’m 25 and I’ve never had a desire to dance until I started watching videos of Eva and the MBA dancers. Now I’m thinking of trying out an adult beginners ballet class in summer.
Congratulations! You joined the ranks! This is a day you will Never forget! Thank you for sharing it with us!❤
I swear the ladies at the dance shops are always so nice.
Congratulations! You were in the best hands… Jamie is a beautiful human being 😻
I am SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU! 😍 I'm not yet on pointe, I'm very impatient but I know I have to train till its OK so that I don't get discouraged or in danger. This is so thrilling I'm going forward to your learning! It sure will encourage many other people who started ballet as adults
Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I’m so happy for you!!!!!!!! Congratulations! Bask in your satin covered hard work and dedication! You’ve earned them! Don’t feel one bit bad when you have to get a new pair, even if it’s only been two weeks, in favor of something more suited to your feet; remember, they’re meant to fit YOU, not the other way around (and trying on pointe shoes is like sitting in a car without test driving it first)! Gahhhhhh! Congratulations! I, myself, just got pointe shoes a couple of years ago at 27! You’re doing it! You’re really actually doing ballet! 🎉
What a lovely and knowledgeable lady! She explains everything so well!
🎉❤ hurrays for pointe shoes! Congratulations!!! ❤️🎉
This is SO exciting!! I’m 26 as well, I’m starting ballet this year ❤❤❤ I can’t wait to get on pointe one day soon.
its never to old always remember that love ur vids so much
Yay! Slay. ❤
I took my first dance classes at 15 and quit for years. Watching you is very inspiring.
Congrats Eva! I got mine at 12, the start is the most painful part but it definitely gets better! Enjoy 💗
Awwww! This is wonderful! Congratulations! 🎉
Aw, Jamie is very knowledgeable about fitting pointe shoes. I've been to many pointe shoe fitters in NYC who weren't as knowledgeable as Jamie.
I'm so Happy about you !!!! You finally did it 👏 ❤ keep going and I'm sure you're going to be amazing with the point shoes !!!!!!!
Congratulations Eva!! You've come so far and learnt so much!! I hope you have so much fun
IM SO PROUD OF YOU EVA!! POINTE IS SO FUN ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT!!!
What a unbelievable service!! 😃 I have never seen such before… 🥰
Congratulations Eva!!
YAY EVA IM SO PROUD OF YOU❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my gosh how exciting Eva 🤩😁☺️ congratulations 🥳 well done you! 👏 You’re a natural when you were up on pointe and let go of the barre was just brilliant 🤩 Jaimie was amazing! I learnt so much about feet & ankles in that 10 minutes Jaimie is fantastic! Makes a difference having someone fit you who is an expert and knows what they’re doing 🙌 Enjoy Lovely we can’t wait to see your progress now you’re in pointe shoes 🩰
now we need eva to complete the pointe shoe challenge!! congratulations on your first pair of pointe shoes eva!
The fitter was so sweet! This makes me miss ballet.... almost 😅
I'm so happy and proud of you! That's such an accomplishment.
So happy for you!!! I started taking ballet again this year after a 35 year break (!)…and just got fitted for my new point shoes, so exciting! I bought Russian Radiance and I’m in love. ❤
I really liked the fitter, she did you a real solid, and I’m happy for you!
I’m so so happy for you!! Congratulations 🎉 can’t wait for all the shoe content 😍
I have always wanted to do Ballet, but as I grew older I thought my chance was slipping through my fingers but seeing you is inspiring me
A ballerina and a brilliant photographer! 📸💖Yay!
This made me so happy! Congratulations!
Omg im so proud of you Eva!!! 👏 😊
yayy! i'm so excited for you!! congratulations!
There’s really no need to warn a pointe shoe fitter that you don’t have pretty toes 😂 cuz trust me, working for decades with dancers’ feet, she’s already seen everything under the sun
My relative was a doctor with the royal ballet and he said he never let his kids learn ballet after seeing the feet. Still looks so beautiful. No gain without pain 😊
@@RoseWilson that's sad. There are plenty of Dance styles that don't permanently wreck your feet. Maybe it's time we fix ballet to be a kinder dance and not one that destroys the feet of little girls. It's not like we _have to_ have women on pointe. Men dance ballet and don't do it. Girls and women could still dance with demi pointe and less stress on the feet. The men in ballet don't have a lifetime of foot issues. Why should the women?
@@mygirldarby I don't know but as a ballerina for a female it is kind of seen as a great achievement to be on point, like an honour for all the hardwork and discipline l expect. I wonder if there are in fact some guy dancers who wear point shoes. Women wear stilettos and painful shoes all the time and men never do... Probably a guy designed the shoe. 🤗 Could be worse atleast we're allowed an education and don't have to wear a Burka. Happy Christmas. I expect no one is forcing people to dance on point it's just a tradition, in china woman bound their feet up and deformed themselves for what was seen as beautiful. You should read the articles on it ❤️
🎄🤶🎅♥️
So excited for you Eva! I love the Stream Pointes for you! Keep up the hard work!
That feeling is priceless!!! ❤ congrats!
Congratulations Eva!! 🎉😃🥰❤️. I would love to go on point!! Maybe in a few years!! It's been a happy thing to see you progress!! And to see everyone who's helped you along the way!! Awesome friends!!!😃😃😃🌞💞🥰❤️. I'm looking forward to your point progess!!!😃😃😃
Eva...thats so awesome...congratulations
I got my 1st pair at 50!!!!! You're still young! Congrats! 🎉
This video is sooo inspiring. I’ve always wanted to do ballet, but thought I would be too late(I’m 21). After seeing this video, I’m motivated to find a local class. I’m so happy for you Eva. When you went on pointe your face just lit up, and I hope I can be in that position one day 🥰🥰
If you see this, do you mind saying when you started ballet classes (or how many years it took for you to go en pointe? I know it’s different for everyone but I’m just curious about your journey)
The fitter is amazing.
Beautiful. You go girl!
Omg i love it good job girl❤🩰
Hey, will you document your journey of going on point? That would be great to watch. I’m asking because I’m actually also training for going on point again. It’s so exciting.
I’m already in the 40 plus club and recently got fitted for point shoes and I was so excited… I quit point when I was a teenager and came back to ballet during the pandemic. At the moment I’m still working on the basics but my dream is to do a simple choreography one day on point 😊
Looking forward to seeing you practice in your beautiful new pointe shoes.
How exciting.💛💖
I started ballet this year at 29 I am now 30 buying my first leotard. Hoping to eventually get my first pair of pointe shoes and this just made me so excited!
My mouth dropped when she let go of the bar whiles on pointe! Eva that’s amazing!
OHMYGOD IM SO PROUD OF YOU
Eeeep this is so exciting!! Proud of you queen 😌
Wow, as an adult beginner this is so inspiring!
This is so inspiring! Thank you for posting such a great video! Will you put up more videos on you dancing in your pointe shoes would love to see it! Beautiful work!
CONGRATS as soon as learned it was for you I screamed I’m so happy for you
OMG! I'm so happy for you!
I’m so excited for you! Couldn’t wait to watch this video!!
Awwww that was sooooo lovely to watch and share in your excitement 💖Thank you for sharing and my very best wishes for for dancing future xx
Starting ballet at 26, love this!!
What an excellent fitter!💯🤗🩰
She’s such a good fitter!
I’m so happy for you!
It made me cry when you got on pointe. It’s so beautiful to see your dream come true. It’s also mine, I’m 23 and always lived in a country where it’s not an option for me. Yesterday I got the confirmation that I can move and although it’s so scary I really thought of the possibilities and how I can get adult lessons is one of the things that brings me more joy and comfort. It’s gonna be tough, working full time and trying to get ahead as an immigrant, but I don’t want to leave ballet behind. I hope I can somehow keep enough time and energy. I’m glad I watched this video today
Congratulations on going en pointe, Eva!
She’s the pointe fitter I need in my life
Great job Eva they look great!! 🎉 I’m sooo jealous because I have incredibly flat feet that hardly point so I don’t think I’ll ever get pointe shoes 😭
Great job I’ve been watching you for some years and you have went a long way 💕💕
Congrats! 🩰
Recently got fitted in a new model after returning to pointe as an adult! Super excited for you!
