Cutting off the fabric on the end of your box? You just cut it. Cut all around the end since the fabric will fall off anyways. I do that. Don't use a knife though.

Are ballet and pointe the same thing?

Yes and no. Ballet is a form of art. However, typically when a class is titled ballet it is the art on flat. Pointe is the art wearing pointe shoes, which are shoes that enable the dancer to dance on the very top of her toes.


Do ballet shoes have metal at the top?

no... regular ballet shoes are just canvas or leather, but pointe shoes are actually just layers of fabric and glue.


Can you wear socks over your pointe shoes on the carpet?

You can totally wear socks over your pointe shoes on carpet if you want to warm up your feet. Just remember that it's never a good idea to wear socks on top of your pointe shoes to go on pointe, as it's really slippery (learned from bad experiences) and don't go on pointe on carpet (twisted an ankle a couple times doing that) unless you mean dance carpet, as in, the flooring in your dance studio.


What is a pointe dance?

How do you make fake pointe shoes?

First of all, why do you need to make fake pointe shoes??? Anyway, pointe shoes are all handmade, and the hard bit at the toe is made from lots of layers of glue and canvas (i think its canvas) material to make it hard. SO,, if you are that desperate you could try piling glue and canvas stuff onto the toe of a normal ballet shoe. also, pointe shoes are made of shiny pink satin on the outside, so you might want to cover it up with that? but i have NO idea what it will come out like i think it will look a bit weird. Try looking up some videos of how they make them to give you a better idea. If you need them so bad you could try buying the cheapest pair from a shop or something. I am now taking it you are interested in ballet and want to try some out, huh? Well so am i but i am waiting till i get on pointe which hopefully is soon!! <3 Or get an old pair of shoes or ballet shoes fill the ends with carrier bags,socks or tissue then for sopport cover them in tape and for more support put a sock over the top. WARNING: making fake pointe shoes can be dangerous and you could hurt yourself only make them at your own rist not for dancing purpouses

Why do ballerinas wear pointe shoes?

Pointe shoes is when a ballerina's foot is strong enough to wear them, they wear them to advance in ballet and to have the part of lifting off the ground as of being closest to flying. Not all ballerinas wear pointe shoes; some wear slippers (demi-pointe shoes), either because they are not strong enough, or because they have high of arches on their feet so it would not be safe for them. With hard work and practice a ballerina's foot can become strong enough at a time when they can go on pointe

I have the pointe shoes Grishko xxx. does anyone know a good way of breaking them in?

A good way to break in pointe shoes is to just wear them around the house with socks over the top. Another way is to do gentle rises everyday through the ball of the foot, bending whilst on pointe and then coming back down through the ball. After a while the pointe shoes should become bendier and easier to use.
