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?
@@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.
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. 🤔
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.
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
Omg me too girly !! I did ballet as a young girl but ended up doing cheerleading and gymnastics.. I’m 23 now and I just got my first pair of pointe shoes I practice occasionally and actually just got my first pirouette 😭
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.
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 😂.
@@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!
@@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!!
@@JIHYOMACHIN 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.
@@JIHYOMACHINI 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.
@@luvcandace 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.
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
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
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!
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.
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!
I got my first pair of pointe shoes at 13 and I am so happy for you because this is a life changing moment for a dancer and I’m not even exaggerating, I was looking forward to getting my first professional pair and fitting for weeks!!!
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! 🎉
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 :)
Seeing how genuinely supportive everyone was for your pointe fitting made me so happy to see. I’ll be honest, before watching your videos I had a certain impression of ballet (that it was an uptight, intense, and super intimidating sport). Though I still feel that it is a VERY difficult sport and artistry form, seeing this side of 🩰 where people are so kind and supportive or beginners of ALL ages made me reconsider my preconceived notions on ballet in general. If only everyone was as supportive of adults taking on new sports at older ages, people would be less intimidated at the thought of it and more inclined to learn new things even as an adult, myself included. Thank you for showing us your work and your journey, Eva 💕
My first pair were almost 70 years ago. I don’t remember all that fitting and positioning and talking about my toes. We never wore elastic just ribbons. I wore Nicolini’s from Capezio’s which was in downtown Chicago. It was very exciting going into the big city to get my shoes. I miss the ballet lessons 🩰 and have very fond memories of performing.
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.
Eva I’m so happy for you! Congratulations Ballerina 🙌🏻 I wanted to thank you because you actually inspired me to learn ballet as an adult, it’s being a little hard to find a proper class but seeing you in your first pair of pointe shoes makes me want it even more! I’ll make it happen one day just like you did 💕💕
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
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. ❤
This is so cute Eva! I took ballet from 8-16 and I feel like I never had this much care and attention when getting fitted for pointe shoes. I kinda miss ballet and would go back for fitness classes I could find a studio that had them near me lol, but I do not miss pointe. I will never go back to that lol.
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 🩰
I got my first pointe shoes at 40 for my bday last week(they were on sale for $30 Capezio Donatella)❣️ I plan on hanging them but watching this was very informative and soothing. Jamie should start a channel too
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)
Congrats on your pointe shoes! This is an aside but the woman who fitted you for your shoes had the most beautiful shaped hands. I’m an illustrator and I could sketch those all day!!
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 😊
Eva I started ballet around the age of 5 then was made to quit and restarted again this year at the age of 30…I havnt even gotten to the part in needing point shoes yet. Remember age is just a number. Love your content 🫶🏻
Please I want a MASTERCLASS WITH THIS WONDENRFULL WOMEN... ALL POINT SHOES DANCERS NEED THIS FIITTING WOMEN IN THEIR LIFE... me as a teacher as well PLEASE COME TO SPAIN🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
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!
OMGGG!!! Hi Eva, I’m 13 y/o, and tomorrow I’m going to be fitted for the first time and I was scared but I clicked on your video, you gave me confidence, and now I’m not!!! Thanks for all the inspiration❤.
congrats! enjoy! I wish that were possible for me too, I’ve always wanted to, but even the best school in town, which also has adult classes, doesn’t have a performance or anything for the adults, it’s just endless stretching and jetes and stuff without any other point than exercise…

Got mine at age 14 as well.

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)
Congratulations! You were in the best hands… Jamie is a beautiful human being 😻
Tomorrow I’m getting my first pair of pointe shoes with my sister I’m so excited 😆
Yay! Slay. ❤
I took my first dance classes at 15 and quit for years. Watching you is very inspiring.
Congrats on your pointe shoes! This is an aside but the woman who fitted you for your shoes had the most beautiful shaped hands. I’m an illustrator and I could sketch those all day!!
I really liked the fitter, she did you a real solid, and I’m happy for you!
The level of joy in this video lol! Love.
🎉❤ hurrays for pointe shoes! Congratulations!!! ❤️🎉
This is so interesting, especially as I don't dance. You look so good balancing in them Eva... Great job 😍
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 😊
Eva I started ballet around the age of 5 then was made to quit and restarted again this year at the age of 30…I havnt even gotten to the part in needing point shoes yet. Remember age is just a number. Love your content 🫶🏻
CONGRATS as soon as learned it was for you I screamed I’m so happy for you
That feeling is priceless!!! ❤ congrats!
Wow, as an adult beginner this is so inspiring!
What a unbelievable service!! 😃 I have never seen such before… 🥰
My mouth dropped when she let go of the bar whiles on pointe! Eva that’s amazing!

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!
OMGGG!!! Hi Eva, I’m 13 y/o, and tomorrow I’m going to be fitted for the first time and I was scared but I clicked on your video, you gave me confidence, and now I’m not!!! Thanks for all the inspiration❤.
My first, age 12. What a feeling it was, one of the BEST “firsts” of my life.
congrats! enjoy! I wish that were possible for me too, I’ve always wanted to, but even the best school in town, which also has adult classes, doesn’t have a performance or anything for the adults, it’s just endless stretching and jetes and stuff without any other point than exercise…
Congratulations Eva!! You've come so far and learnt so much!! I hope you have so much fun
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 !!!!!!!
This made me so happy! Congratulations!
She’s such a good fitter!
Awwww! This is wonderful! Congratulations! 🎉
Looking forward to seeing you practice in your beautiful new pointe shoes.
How exciting.💛💖
OHMYGOD IM SO PROUD OF YOU
