The grace of ballet is not something which happens overnight. The grace of the dance and the presentation comes from hard work in practice. It is a passion and a vocation. And to ballet dancers, ballet slippers are significant part of their attire.

It is not a trivial task to dance on one’s toes, but years of training have trained ballerinas to do so. In some schools, to dance en pointe is not taught until after five years of study and hard work. Though the slippers look slight, these are the only equipment a ballet dancer brings on stage, everything else is a accessory.

Created to be light, the shoes allow the dancers to fly and jump unimpeded. However the very same design which allows the dancers to take flight may not last too long due to their thin soles and the heavy amount of damage.

Ballet shoes are ordinarily created from soft leather, canvas or satin. Leather shoes are durable and last long. These also keep the feet warm. Not as sturdy as leather, canvas shoes are are typically worn by men. Satin ballet shoes are are normally worn by women and can be easily dyed to change the shoe color.

Ballet slippers have elastic bands to secure the shoes to the feet. Ballet shoes may be securedwith a single band across the foot, or with two crossing bands in an “x” shape.

Very cute and graceful looking, satin ballet slippers mirror ballet dancers. Looking like thin things when dancing, dancers are some of the most athletic artists, spending hours daily to keep limber and in shape. The same is true of their shoes. These may look like small and flimsy objects but are actually very tough to keep up with the feet wearing them.
