Ballet is only painful when you turn your feet out to much, or are trying to lift your leg higher. Sometimes it can hurt if one knee or ankle is growing faster than the other. That tends to happen a lot to dancers, at least in my class.

What classifies modern versus contemporary dance?

Modern dance is diversed from Classical Ballet where the dancers/choreographers try to break the rules and strict of Classical...i.e., in Classical the dancers tend to dance on turn out most of the time and seems to concentrate to work on their legs , whereas in Modern is dance in turn-in feet and use the spines and focus on relaxation of upper body. Contemporary is the dance style that combined or influenced by other dance style but still based on relaxation and freedom of movement rather than rigid as in classical ballet.


Where were pointe shoes discovered?

In 1832, the famous ballerina Marie Taglioni was the first to dance a full length ballet (Les Sylphide) en pointe, although her shoes were much different than the pointe shoes used today. They were most like regular ballet shoes, with the ends "darned" or reinforced with extra thread. Most likely, dancers used these pointe shoes before her famous performance, but she is the first to dance a full length ballet in them, and is thus given the credit. Dancers at this time were beginning to jump and turn more than dancers previously, and this required a change in the shoe that they needed. When ballet first appeared, dancers wore a shoe with a heel on it. As ballet technique progressed and became more demanding, the shoe changed as well, to a flat shoe, pleated on the bottom, with ribbons to secure it around the ankle. In Taglioni's day, when dancers were trying to portray ethereal, ghost-like creatures, as in Les Sylphide, the ability to rise on one's toes made them appear to be floating or gliding across the stage. So the pointe shoe evolved because of the demands of ballet, and the needs of the ballerinas dancing those roles.
