so that they don't slip on the dance floor
At most dance studios, they have a rosin box where you rosin your tap shoes so they're not slippery. Simply step in the rosin in your ballet shoes for a short amount of time and you should be good to go.
The ballet shoes that professionals use are called pointe shoes. They are shoes made specially for the dancers to dance on their toes. They are hardened with layers of fabric and glue that the dancer has stability. Softer shoes are just ballet slippers and are often made of canvas.
Flat ballet shoes were invented first in the 1700's and pointe shoes were later made by the famous dancer Marie Taglioni' father, who wanted to make her a better dancer. Marie was not the first to wear them, but she was the first to use them as technique.
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.

Ballet dancer wear toe shoes, they have blocks of wood inside. The blocks help you to stand on the tip of your shoes.
Im not too sure about ballet flats, but pointe shoes used to be like a ballet flat, and very flimsy. The Italians hardened the pointe shoes. That's all I know.. I believe it was specifically Maire Taglioni, an Italian ballet dancer, that is attributed with starting to to harden the shoes at the point and danced on her toes.
i wanna know too! i am a dancer and am dying to get the same pointe shoes as such a historical figure in ballet!
Ballet slippers allow the dancer to move freely and if the shoe is flexible they will be able to dance better and it also helps to not hurt their feet.
No never, you will break your ankles if you feet arent strong enough
