As long as I can remember I have always wanted to be a ballerina dancing on my toes!

| See why I love ballet? |
I have always admired how ballerina's dance on there beautifully pointed toes!
When I was little I didn't know they had special toe shoes for support, I thought they just danced on there toes with normal ballet slippers.
It wasn't until latter that I found out that ballerina's had special toe shoes for support, sense then I have researched "Pointe shoes" and here is what I've found.
 "Pointe shoes, sometimes called toe shoes, are a special kind of ballet shoe used by advanced dancers for pointework. "Pointe shoes" were developed from the desire of ballerinas to appear weightless. The shoes allow a dancer to literally dance on the tips of the toes. |

And one of the things I found is that you have to be a certain age and level in ballet to wear "Pointe shoes."
Sure you get sore feet and occasional blisters but I think my work, practice, and pain will all pay off in the end.
And my ballet teacher told me that in the next year or so I will will be able to to start wearing and practicing in "Pointe shoes," as you can imagine I'm pretty exited!
I don't know about you but I think "Pointe shoes" are the most beautiful shoes in the world! (just saying)
