4.0 out of 5 stars
Pointe by Point video,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pointe By Point [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The Pointe by Point video was very nice. The dancer performing is very clear and precise with her technique. The video starts off with Barbara Fewster giving some information about the three types of feet: not as arched, moderate, and a high arch. She shows pictures of each one and explains about how the feet are. After that, they show a young dancer doing exercises for pointe at the barre and in the center. The video is well-put together. My suggestions for the video would be to make each combination longer, and when I say that I mean make the combination a full 32-counts at the least, instead of 16-counts, so they will not be so short when practicing each combination. It would have been nice if they had a teacher telling the student or students more about the technique of pointe and what to watch out for and correct. Basically, this video gives you some combinations to work on, but there is not emphasis on the technique of pointe.
