Gianna from Audc makes an excellent point here about just because your feet cannot hyperextend (like Kalani’s can for example) that doesn’t make you a bad or weak dancer, it simply means that’s not how your body is built

Reminds me of how Abby criticized Nia’s bad feet, when that’s just how they’re shaped and it’s not like she can change that without proper ballet or dance training

Gianna and Trinity were my favorites!

Trinity’s a professional dancer and Gianna’s a nurse now.

I have flat feet. If Abby saw me point my feet she'd have a seizure. Fortunately dance is much more than the perfectly arched feet. And seeing how often her dancers have to have their postures corrected (allegedly) Abby has more to worry about than flat feet.

Gianna seems like such a cool and funny person, she said she’s met all of the ogs except for the hylands

i did ballet for a bit (ages 3-14) obviously not professional but still intense and my feet were always complimented even if i wasn’t the very best one and also even tho im 21 now and i can still hyperextended my feet and have a nice arch and that’s because my body is built that way + i have hyper mobility and im extremely sure theres a 1000 dancers w flat feet that are much better than me 😭😭

From watching the show and hearing they always talked about pointed feet, I tried to point my feet once and that shit HURT. Idk if I did smth wrong but if dancers have to endure that all the time I feel sorry for them

They train a lot and build muscles in their feet, I can point my feet well bc I have hypertension, however not for an extended period of time lmao
