Post-Pointe Syndrome

Fortunately for me, my toe-ses have come back from the dead after a rejuvenating soak in blissfully hot water... Just saw kisstle's blog bout PPS n wanted 2 add on to it.. here is what she wrote:

After almost an hour of pointe work, the 'special' students of Premier Dance Academy has discovered a common visible, energy-draining side effect to the Medulla Oblongata.



The dialysis is called Post-Pointe Syndrome (PPS). The symptoms include:


~Weak and shaky leg muscles
~Temporary (or permanent) insanity [varies in different people]
~Excessive laughter for no apparent reason
~Blurting out random phrases/words
~Loss of energy and/or enthusiasm
~ The Leaning Tower of Pisa Effect; in other words, slant-walking (due to imbalance of toes)


Symptoms may vary in individuals depending how serious the PPS is.


One of the reasons for PPS is the excessive weight one's toes would have to bear. Straining (especially placing your body's weight purely on your toes) in general strains the brain, thus triggering these side effects.

I would like to add that another symptom of PPS is the sudden urge to do pirouettes (of any kind) despite a previous aversion to it.
Another symptom is the amazing ability to do fouettes (which unfortunately causes the room to spin and aggravates the symptoms of insanity, laughter etc.)
