I don't even wear point shoes but I watched the whole thing.

this reminds me when you were in a short film about how important shoes are to a life of a dancer

You have such pretty feet en pointe!!! (Found you via Kathryn Morgan's channel and your interview with her!)

I’m not a dancer—I’m a classical musician—but I adore dance, especially Balanchine and City Ballet. It’s so neat to have a look inside the the world of dance from your perspective...it’s all so mysterious from the outside. You impress with your kindness and openness about your experiences. I’m sure that young dancers will find this enormously inspiring and reassuring. Thank you for taking the time to reach out!

i find preparing my shoes really therapeutic, kind of like meditation, but smacking my pointe shoes is my favorite  part

Such a gorgeous dancer, with such beautiful feet!
  I haven't been en pointe for 35+ years, and then just as a serious student, never a pro. But I'll always love "behind the scenes" peeks. It's so generous of you as a NY City Ballet  principal to share a little of your prep routine with your fans. Thank you!

I absolutely love watching a master of a craft do something they’ve done a thousand times. The deft tuck of the knotted ribbons spoke to years of dedication and hard work. Brava!!

I TIE MY RIBBONS THE WAY YOU DO AS WELL OMG AND I HAVE NEVER MET OR SEEN ANYONE ELSE DO IT LIKE THAT!!! I was always so paranoid about having my ribbons come out and I also didn't like how bumpy and messy it looked either so a couple years ago, I started experimenting with how I tie my shoes and I have been tying them like that ever since! I have never had my ribbons come out AT ALL in all my years of dancing despite not sewing through them for performances (I don't like sewing through them bc it makes me feel trapped (it's just this thing I have aha))! I never guessed that the star of the first ballet video I ever watched (your 2012 pointe shoe video which I still watch and love!) would tie her shoes the same way!! Such a pleasant surprise! Absolutely made my day hehe

i was fascinated with your  entire being, you're just very personable & i felt as if you were speaking ONLY to me. im not a ballerina but you make me want to delve into that world.

I don't watch ballet and had no desire to dance ballet, but love these videos! So educational. Probably a good thing that I didn't dance ballet....I can see how ballet shoes would be an addiction.

This is awesome!! Could you do videos on how you became a professional (Your time at SAB, performances, and such?) That would be great!!

I started hunting on YouTube for videos about ballet about 6 years ago.  One of my favorite videos that I go back and rewatch every so often is your pointe shoes video from 2012.  It's fun to see an update on your shoes.  :)

YES to the Signature Rehearsals!!! I really loved the heck out of those shoes as a student!! They do not make them anymore and it breaks my heart.

I just molded my first pair of perfect fit pointe. I couldn’t believe the difference it made right away.

I am so fascinated with how dancers customize their shoes. I was told at the dance studio i wasnt allowed to do even regular ballet because i was too “big” so imhad to take other classes. Ballet is such a beautiful art.

I just made a pointe prep video and its 45 minutes long... Yours is much more concise, and your feet and incredible-er.
I have that same kind of shape to my right foot, and I still try to twist it back. I'm now inspired to try these new pads.

This was very helpful!!! I loved all of your insight! ♥️

Thankyou so much Megan for taking the time to share your expertise and helpful information, it is much appreciated!

You have been my ballet idol for so long and you’ve made me want to dance because of how amazing you are! I hope one day I can meet you! 🥰

All the years of struggling to tuck ribbons in - this is so easy thank you. Now my 11 year old can easily tie her pointe shoes which she needs to everyday at vocational school x
