It is supposed to make the dancers look like they are ethereal because they look like they are floating... and also, taller women are more difficult to partner, and also, technique and artistry are usually considered more than height...

Ballerinas use a tremendous amount of strength to dance on their toes, and they wear pointe shoes, which support their feet.
They use a special type of shoes called Pointe shoes. To be able to use these shoes it takes a lot of training.
