Remember, just like I did before I went en pointe, ballet students MUST take responsibility for their own strengthening prior to beginning pointe work.Australian dancer, Lisa Howell has made a video which explains how pre-point strengthening works. Don't leave it to your teacher!
You can watch this pre-pointe video yourself here (just wait for the page to load up then the video is on the top right of the page).
Every dancer has to have the technical skills as well as having the performance skills. That is what ballet dancer's training is for. Ballet classes should develop the dancer's technique and build all the right musculature that's needed to become a professional, so that when you step out into joining a company, the training is secure and you can focus on performances and being on stage.
The technical skills require a lot of physical work, it takes a lot of hard-core training to achieve the end result. Dancers have to have a great deal of drive and determination. Ballet requires so many different skills and it can put so much physical strain on the body. You just have to take each day as it comes and always strive for more. You have to thoroughly push your body to it's maximum so that you know you are working every single muscle to it's fullest ability. The performance skills are often qualities that you can achieve mentally. No one can teach someone to dance with soul and spirit. The passion has to come from no one else but the dancer. You will often find with many dancers that they have a natural gift to perform. It's not something you can describe or explain, it's just that whenever you step onto that stage in front of the beaming audience, the feeling is so great and so rewarding, all the stress and hard work is left behind, and all that matters now is that you are on stage doing what you love. That is how you know you are in the right profession. It is a true reality that ballet is a demanding career. Even so, if you follow Odette's guidance you too can be a professional ballet dancer!
