hi my name is Sarah shoemaker and today
we will be talking about how to tie your
ballet pointe shoes all the materials
you need are your ballet pointe shoes to
tie your pointe shoes you want to make
sure you do it in a way that is neat and
snug in a way that will not come undone
while you're dancing you begin with the
outside ribbon that's on the outside of
your foot and you pull it slightly in a
firm way just above your the protrusion
that's known as your ankle bone and wrap
around the back of your foot coming back
around the other side notice this isn't
too high on the leg but right around
your ankle and this is a point at which
not everyone does this but I think it's
a very helpful variation where if you
can thread the ribbon through underneath
the top ribbon that you just wrapped
it's going to place the knot more
directly underneath which will come in
handy when you're trying to secure that
knot underneath the ribbons and have it
not show holding that ribbon in place
you'll take the other ribbon pull around
the other side looping around once and
then again and meeting up with the first
ribbon and do a single tie and then
another one creating a small knot and
then you tuck that knot underneath the
ribbons that are flat hiding them and
making it nice and secure you want to
make sure that that knot is tied in the
soft space between the protrusion and is
your ankle bone and in front of the
Achilles tendon
there's a place that will feel very
comfortable and secure and when you're
finished you should have clean lines no
bags or gaping ribbons and you're ready
to dance and in conclusion that is how
you tie your ballet point ribbons
