Along with experience a dancer also needs to be responsible and also needs to know how to care for her and the shoes in order to prevent serious injury. Pointe shoes are generally made with a lot of layers but even many layers cannot prevent pain and injury. It is important that I discuss the history of pointe dancing‚ the disciple and care that is needed

    Ballerina slippers The dirty ballerina slippers hung loosely on her small feet. The subbing sound that came every time she moved them echoed off of the tall walls decorated with vines and weeds. She smiled to herself. There was nothing more beautiful than nature claiming what used to be theirs. Her little heart jumped in her chest when the threads of the shoes made her trip. The shoes were at least two sizes too big‚ but her correctly sized wellies were thrown into one of the corners of the building

Choreographers were much more creative in amalgamating this expressiveness into their choreography‚ producing works that the audience fell in love with. Around this time‚ such works as

    Starting pointe too early can result in bad technique that the student will need to relearn later at best. At worst‚ the student could not only injure bones and/or joints‚ but would also put unnecessary stress on certain body parts. Bones that are not hard can be deformed when put under the pressure of pointe. There isn’t usually any harm in waiting to begin on pointe; later starters nearly always catch up. When the student waits an extra year‚ her feet and ankles are stronger and she will be more
