Hi Guys!

After a year of trying to juggle all kinds of sites and pages all over the internet, I have finally managed to get all of the fantastic free information I provide together in one spot!

My brand new site www.theballetblog.com is up and operating, and is packed with information so I will not be posting on this site any more.

To celebrate, and as my Christmas present to the world I have released a FREE Downloadable Parents Manual packed with information of how parents can best support their child when they are passionate about dancing.

To let you know how well it has gone down with those who have already seen it, here is what one mother I gave it to had to say about it…

"As a non-dancing mother of two young dancers I have entered the world of dance and feel completely unprepared. Thankfully the 'Parents Manual' has rescued me! So many questions in my head have been answered and I have my Manual handy to refer to over and over again. My girls love to dance and I love them...and now I feel more confident to support them in becoming wonderful healthy dancers." (K.C)

So go over to the new site now and check it all out!

Talk soon,
Lisa

A Brandnew Newsletter!

I decided that it was time to give all of our hard working teachers a special newsletter all of their own, to help answer some of the great questions I get through email.

Pointe

What is the best age to start en pointe?
So many people ask me this question that I thought it was more than time I did a video explaining when the best time is.


Tips On How To Prevent Blisters

How To Tell When Your Pointe Shoes Are Dead
I have so many girls asking me how to know when their pointe shoes are 'dead' so I have created this video to help you know when your your pointe shoes are past their used by date!

Padding For Pointe Shoes
Lots of girls have been asking me how much padding they should use, and what to use, so I made a little video to show you what I recommend! Usually your teacher will have lots of tricks to help you out so ask her her what she recommends.


How To Tie The Ribbons On Your Pointe Shoes
I have had lots of people asking me how to correctly tie the ribbons on their pointe shoes, so I have created this video to show you one of the many ways the ribbons can be tied. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Ever wondered why some girls look like their shoes were made for them? It is all in knowing what to look for whern you fit your shoes. Follow this video to get a great pair next time!

How To Sew
The Ribbons Onto Your Pointe Shoes
One of the most common questions I get asked is: "How do I sew the ribbons onto my pointe shoes?". This video is a quick guide to get your ribbons in the perfect spot every time!


Breaking In Pointe Shoes
I frequently see badly broken in shoes so I thought I would create this video to show you the way I like to break in pointe shoes. I have found this method to be extremely successful and you will find it also prolongs the life of the shoe!
