It is not posted online it is in a video that I have. I can send a copy to you either by direct e-mail or on a disk that can be mailed to you. Just let me know.<br /><br />Also, I came across another picture of a boy en pointe that put on the www.dance.net website recently.<br /><br />http://www.dance.net/topic/4676286/7/Guys-in-Ballet/Do-you-think-guys-should-learn-pointe-Why-why-not.html&replies=151<br /><br />Also, boys wanting to try and take up pointe is something from what I heard is a new growing movement among male ballet dancers.<br />That is why there is hardly any videos of ballet<br />competitions with male ballet dancers.<br />I heard some want to do original ballet routines and<br />not the character type ballet dancing like "The Dream", etc.<br /><br />Again, let me know how to get this video clip to you.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427563805782451143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038584459391178493.post-2948718973725470552012-12-28T00:15:47.797+13:002012-12-28T00:15:47.797+13:00Hi there Annette,

It's nice for him to see other boys doing this.<br />Do you have any footage of boys en pointe doing any competition stuff as Salem is interested in entering competitions dancing en pointe when he gets good enough. <br />Hope you and your family had a great xmas.Nellie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06776135188829838471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038584459391178493.post-85407685515649493102012-12-27T08:49:36.932+13:002012-12-27T08:49:36.932+13:00I hope you got my earlier e-mail of the news items...I hope you got my earlier e-mail of the news items on YouTUBE that showed videos of some boys ballet dancers on pointe.<br /><br />I don't know if you got these or not.<br /><br />Did you get it??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427563805782451143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038584459391178493.post-63134410374022393832012-12-21T05:45:31.997+13:002012-12-21T05:45:31.997+13:00There are some posted on YouTube and some others w...There are some posted on YouTube and some others were on YouTube and not now( I have copies of these which I can either email you directly or put on disk and mail to you from USA, have too many blank disks to get rid of)...<br /><br />The ones on YouTube are a news item on a New York City event and are listed below:<br /><br />Boy is clearly shown here in some footage on this one from NY Post video:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPAh2j6gc9o<br /><br />This one from AP news footage boy can be seen:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWt-WkV4920<br /><br />Another boy is seen here before 4:00 on video(he is wearing pink pointe shoes):<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_keDZAWvhcs<br /><br />Again, I have some other video footage.

It's an exciting challenge that he has been looking forward to.<br />So thank you for your kind words.Nellie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06776135188829838471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038584459391178493.post-9842672961665182002012-10-04T17:52:35.215+13:002012-10-04T17:52:35.215+13:00Salem, you rock, dude!

Good for you for doing something that you're passionate about, even though its unconventional. You'll get big respect! The faculty and dancers at my studio all think its cool that I do pointe. Enjoy it, but prepare for some hard work! Doing a pique turn or arabesque on pointe is a whole different story!<br />-Chris, 32Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
