How Ballet Pointe Shoes are made

Ballet is a formalized form of dance with its origins in the French court,further developed in France and Russia as a concert dance form.It is a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary.It has been influential as a form of dance globally and is taught in ballet schools around the world which use their own culture and society to modernize the art.Ballet dance works ballets are choreographed,and also include mime,acting,and are set to music usually orchestral but occasionally vocal.It is best known in the form of classical ballet,notable for its techniques,such as pointe work and turn-out of the legs,its graceful,flowing,precise movements,and its ethereal qualities.Later developments include neoclassical ballet and contemporary ballet.The etymology of the word "ballet" is related to the art form's history.The word ballet comes from the French and was borrowed into English around the 17th century.The French word in turn has its origins in Italian balletto,a diminutive of ballo dance.Ballet ultimately traces back to Latin ballare,meaning to dance.

I take apart my pointe shoes to make Soft-blocks and mine always have Russian newspaper in them instead of the cotton on the papier-mache bits :)
