Are your feet supposed to hurt in pointe shoes?
in the beginning, yes, your feet will hurt, but once you have broken in your pointe shoes they will start feeling like a second skin, and you will be able to practice and do pointe exercises more fluently and more easily.
What do the high life dancers wear when dancing?
Well if you're talking about Ballet then they all wear pointe shoes. They are the classic shoes you associate with Ballet but boy, do they hurt! The pointe shoes require you to dance on your tippy toes and if under age children ( aged up until at least 12 years old) try to use pointe it can lead to damage of the foot, the best example being Cheryl Cole, who had gone onto pointe too early which caused her to damage her feet and had to get an operation before being able to wear high heels. But pointe shoes aren't all bad. They look great and if used right, cause no injuries.
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 pointe shoes?
Pointe shoes (aka toe shoes) are shoes that we ballerinas wear to enhance our performance. Contrary to popular opinion, Pointe shoes are not made out of wood, but of paper mache. The shoes give the illusion that we are on our toes, while in reality the shoes are supporting our weight and our toes are being cushioned by padding.Pointe shoes are not comfortable, though, and many blisters, bunions, and foot injuries come from dancing "en Pointe." To be able to dance on Pointe you must have had several years of dance and very strong ankles."If you are asking what Pointe shoes are then they are ballet shoes elevated to look like ballerinas where dancing on clouds. If you're asking what Pointe shoes do, they elevate a dancer to full pointe." -Dancecrazed
