fuck yes, ballet.

Anonymous asked: Why don't you answer some questions and why do you delete some?

Reasons why I may not have answered your question:

• I’m overwhelmed by the number of asks in my inbox (currently ~1.6k). Sometimes I legitimately just missed it! If it’s dire, ask again.
• I am still thinking about an answer for it.
• The question is irrelevant, indiscernible, or otherwise deemed inappropriate within the context of this blog. 

I occasionally delete questions to reduce the clutter on the blog. I usually only delete them if I feel they are super specific/won’t be helpful to a lot of people. 

Anonymous asked: I was wondering, do you guys know anything about tibial torsion? I've seen a couple videos where they talk about what it is, but I couldn't find anything about how to accommodate it while dancing.

I know what it is anatomically but I have no idea in relation to dancing, sorry. I would consult a professional if you’re having difficulty. 

photosfordancers asked: This is a reply to the Anon who was asking about getting autographs of ballet dancers... If you go onto the ABT website in the Gift Shop section I think you can go and buy signed pointe shoes from various dancers. I hope this helped!

Thanks! I figured a few companies might have some online but I was answering from my phone earlier :)

Anonymous asked: So I'm kind of taking a shot in the dark with this, as you really have no reason to know this, but do you know whether it's possible to send fanmail/request autographs from ballet dancers? I'm specifically interested in dancers from the Royal Ballet Company and the American Ballet Theater :3 Thanks

Hm I mean aside from writing them a letter or something, I don’t really know. Many companies sell the signed pointe shoes of their higher-level dancers but I don’t know if you can purchase them online, I’ve only seen them for sale at live shows.
