I got my pointe shoes exactly one month ago. Ivr had four one hour classe since then. I have followed the instructions for the TMT to break it in. I can only go through like half way to demi pointe. I can get up on the box fine and all that, but im curious about why i cant get to demi pointe.|||If they are your first pair of pointe shoes then don't worry about this. It takes a while for many beginners to pointe to break in demi pointe. If you don't have high arches and strong feet it can be especially hard. It helps to do many releves in sequences- 10 releves in first position, ten in second, ten in fifth, and ten in fifth with the other foot in front. repeat this a few times every day and eventually your demi pointe will be stronger. Also, as an earlier comment suggested, you may want to try out a different brand of pointe shoe, though its best not to do this unless you really can't roll through your feet. Its probably just a problem because you're feet aren't used to being en pointe. Give it another few months or so doing prances and releves, and your demi pointe will almost definitely have improved.|||Try taking a hair dryer to them, then put them on a roll through them.
It could be that these pointe shoes arent the right shoe for you. You might need something with a lower vamp like the Bloch European Balances.
Happy Dancing :)
