Soft, leather ballet shoes
these are called pointe shoes and you should get them when your teacher says that you are ready...you can get them at any dance store that sells ballet shoes, and i would recommend using Suffolk or Blochs.
"En pointe" refers to dancing in pointe shoes. Non-pointe ballet shoes are demi-pointe shoes, and the dancing is "en demi-pointe".
