| Ballet History |
According to
Bland (1978) dance is the oldest of the arts. It consists of
structured movement, which is the basis of all existence and
like bipedalism is distinct to human beings. Prime dancing
describes the simple joy of physical movement. Rhythmic
movement represents a natural reaction to emotion and
aesthetic dance; the highest form of movement becomes the
perfect synthesis of abstract and the human mind. Matching
intellect & emotion, discipline and spontaneity, aesthetic
dance such as ballet combines both spirituality as well sex
appeal. The aesthetics of ballet call for a long, tapered line
of the leg, which is enhanced by the almost conical shape of
the shoe. Dancers wear blocked slippers called toe shoes or
pointe shoes in order to dance on the tips of their toes. The
ballerina strives to create an illusion of weightless-ness,
which is achieved by rapidly, skimming the floor, spinning and
sustaining poses. Whilst ballet shoes have been described as
athletic shoes made from paper and paste there remains
remarkably few serious injuries found in the feet of the
modern ballerinas. In an attempt to explain this phenomena the
author attempts to describe the history of pointe dancing and
pointe shoes.
