Although most ballerinas tend to have smaller or average sized feet, some ballerinas find that larger feet does not affect the difficulty or the ability to dance.

"Pointing" your feet. The scientific term is "plantar flexion," but most ballerinas just say that they are pointing their feet or toes.
Ballerinas do not necessarily have curved feet. It all depends on the dancer's tendu (i.e foot being pointed). Some dancers have naturally strong and flexible toes and feet, while others have to work to improve their arches in the feet. If you wanted to go on to Pointe, you would have to have extremely strong feet and a good arch. If you want, try this: Point your toes and then you will see that everyone has curved feet, it's just that ballerinas have more developed feet. :) I hope that helps answer your question! - Dottini :P (The Ballet Girl)
