Nutmegdancer Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Does anyone know any famous dancers with okay feet? I don't have the expected arch that a dancer should have, and I was wondering if I am making a mistake in thinking that I can be a dancer with my kind of feet, they are alright,not terrific,has anyone ever heard anything that I am asking about?

vrsfanatic Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Well Nutmegdancer, that depends, is about the best answer I can give you at this time. May I suggest that you focus more upon being the very best dancer you can possibly be and then work upward. Attaining a career in dance can be and is a very rewarding experience. There is much more to it than being famous. If fame is your goal, it may be easier to attain fame in a different career. Work hard to improve your feet. Listen to your trusted teacher(s) on how to improve them. Make sure you always have good pointe shoes to work in and always keep a picture of how you would like your feet to look in your mind! Be positive. Only time will tell. Quote Link to comment

Mel Johnson Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Does anyone know any famous dancers with okay feet? Most of 'em, dear, most of 'em. There are even a couple of famous dancers with not-so-hot feet. Quote Link to comment
MeAgain Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Margot Fonteyn, for example. And also, it's not about how high your arch is, it's about how articulated your foot is. I know how you feel, though. Flat feet run in my family Quote Link to comment
Nutmegdancer Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 thank you everyone,it makes me feel alot better that their are famous dancers with (not so hot)feet Nutmegdancer PS I have pretty much asked all my teachers if there is anything I can do with my feet,they aren't improving drastically,but I still have a long way to go(I just realized this of course!)

Mel Johnson Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Fonteyn is a good example. Her feet were okay. They weren't anything outrageously great, until she started to move them - then... Quote Link to comment
