It's rather hard to see what's wrong when all I can see are your feet.

I know that almost all dancers focus on the legs, what the average audience watches is the upper body and arms. In the future it would be nice to have a full body picture.

Your picture of first looks for like elevae fifth rather than relevae first. In other words your feet look a little to close, if you just rolled down in that same position I don't think you would be in first position.

Again can't see up top but from what I see in the feet, it may be an optical illusion, in fourth position it looks a little off, like your have more weight on one foot than the other make sure that you keep your weight even.

Looks good though, your turn out is very nice.

when in fourth: pointe the back foot so that your are on the tip of the box rather than the entire box. (atleast that's how my russian teacher wants it XD)

when in first: try getting over your boxes just a tad more.

okay, thanks for the tips! I ended up getting new pointe shoes for better balance (I was seriously that bad xd ) so I'll put up a few pictures.

demi-pointe
coupe back
eschappe
retire
soux-soux
soux-soux (entire picture) - please ignore the arms. They look absolutely awful. whee

Oh, and the shoes are Bloch Balance. heart They're 100x easier to balance with (I'm guessing that's why they're named that lol)

Yay, for new pictures!!! On a couple of positions... I belive it was in the pictures of echappe and soux soux.... you aren't fullt over your box. And in the retire position, the foot in passe (I think that's what it's called... um, the foot at the knee) is a bit sickled. It seems as though your knees are bent in a couple of pictures, so try and staighten them as much as you can!But, your pcitures look great! 3nodding

In a few of the positions, you need to turn out from your hips, not your knees. But other then that, lovely. ^-^

ok, so... the fourth position one, its not a very good angle but it looks like your turning in your back foot, just remember to turn it out. and in the first position one, it's a good first position but you need to let your ankles go, you've got great arches but if you don't push your ankles out more your leg line looks straight up until your arch where it gets a nice curve, but you want the curve to start at your ankles not your arches. i hope this helps!! i love your leg warmers!! and i wish my pointe shoes looked as pretty as yours! ah, well im just going to say that my shoes have, er.... character. rofl

your coupe(spl?) back could be pointed a lot more. you need to imagine that there is a string tied to your pinky toe and is pulling it up to the ceiling. smile
