What major ballet companies focus on RAD technique?
Major ballet companies do not usually focus on one particular technique, such as RAD. This is only one style to keep the standard and process of assessing an individuals technique. Major ballet companies prefer rounded techniques that an individual has formed over a period of time. A style that suits their particular body shape and abilities. This may be RAD orVaganova, Chechetti and Paris Oprea styles. All of which usually demand a very high standard when being assessed at a high level (vocational level).

What shoes are best to wear for long toes?
It depends. If you are talking about pointe shoes, Grishkos are a good brand because they are thin, slender, and they make your feet look skinny and long (which is pretty good (: ). Capezios are used mainly for people with shorter, wider toes, but I wear them and I have skinny and normal-sized toes. If you are talking about normal, flat ballet shoes, then I have nothing much to say. There are MANY brands of flats, and I wear Angelo Luzios, but Blochs or other kinds might be just as well.

How do you do a balanchine bun?
To do this style start with a very high ponytail. Then split it into two sections and wrap one around the other in cinnamon bun shapes.
Ballet involves graceful movements of the body and the use of facial expressions to portray a story. Ballet involves lots of jumping and turning, but also a lot of slow balancing and lithe movements.
Male ballet dancers usually do a lot of the jumping and fast movements as they require maximum strength, and females usually do the more graceful things. Female dancers also dance en pointe which is where the end of the shoe and the sole of the shoe are hardened so that the dancer can balance on the very ends of their toes. This takes strength in the feet and legs and also good balance, along with years of training.
Ballet is one of the hardest things that people can do, but the best ballet dancers make it look easy. That is why there is a common misconception that ballet is easy, and many people think it is rubbish. Only the smarter ones know the true brilliance of a ballet dancer.
