[jellecins]

yeah i am curious because i think its stupid

[raccoonxeyesxx]

@jellecins ribbons? O_O Maybe they just do it for artistic purposes?

But unless they're pointe shoes, they really don't have any purpose. Elastics = the way to go for ballet slippers.

[jellecins]

can you tell me why people sew ribbons onto ballet flats and what the point in it

[930puppylover]

the dance shoes i got when i was younger already had the straps attached

@choconvanillarox110 omg!! i use capezio dance wear too!!

[4skittlesandgiggles]

@930puppylover thats great! im glad it didn't effect your dancing, im not proffessionally trained, nor do i own pointe shoes, but i am going to get my second pair of flat kind of ones, im just stretching for now.

[930puppylover]

@4skittlesandgiggles it acually didn't because we would attach it to the shoe and some times it would come off so my dance teacher would help me put it back on

[4skittlesandgiggles]

@930puppylover that must have hurt soo bad!
