Many thanks to my friend Victoria Wardell for teaching me this trick for darning! It has saved me SO much time! I hope this will help your darning and maybe give you some new pointe shoe hacks as well!
I also like to use Rosin by brushing it on the pointe shoe with a makeup sponge to make the shoe more matte rather than shiny. It also helps you from slipping in the studio or stage, therefore you won’t have to worry about finding some rosin quick before dancing because your shoes are already completely taken care of! 🙂
If you have any other pointe shoe questions, hacks, or recommendations DO NOT HESITATE to comment or message me on Instagram!

Hi Youtube, my name is Lara Paraschiv and I am one of the very first Canadian’s to attend the Bolshoi Ballet Academy is Moscow, Russia.
Many of you follow me on instagram where i post my progression and improvements while staying at the academy.
From this I have recieved many inquiries about the academy, living in Russia, tips for improving ballet technique, Russian food and more!
I have created this youtube channel to answer all of your questions and share my experience at the academy with you.
I hope you all enjoy the vlogs as much as i absolutely enjoy being at the academy❤
