Articulate, expressive and the hardest-working part of a dancer’s body. The second instalment of our Ballet Anatomy series focuses on the vital tools that are the feet. Produced by The Apiary
I think ballet feet are one of the most beautiful things ever. When people think of ballet, what usually comes to mind are their beautiful pointed feet. In reality, their feet look bony and rough outside their ballet shoes. For me, they look beautiful both in and out of their shoes. Their calluses represent their passion and hardwork for something they love. And I believe that is what true beauty is.
I really have a problem with ballerinas feet. Everty time I see them jumping and pointing I just feel pain for their articulations. I always have the feeling they are going to break something.
Ballet dancers are the ultimate athletes. They do the extraordinary and make it look effortless. Thank you all for your dedication and sharing your skills with us.
It takes a lot of hard work, discipline, extended time & effort, focus, tolerance, passion, artistic desires, poise & grace so beautiful to watch every minute of it. It feels so divine & heavenly, it's magical! They are so pure & mesmerizing to watch, thank you so much for the joy ballerinas!

Person: Do you do a sport?
“Yeah, it takes time”.
Thank you for all you Dancers who have kindly and graciously answered the questions that us non-dancers have asked. Your work is appreciated.
Not only is ballet beautiful, it’s for the strong and determined.

The strength and control of ballet dancers mind/body connection is absolutely remarkable and has my total respect and admiration
ALWAYS lower your heel after a saute. And yes, the feet are crucial for dance!!!
Hats off to all the ballet dancers out there. The most I’ve done is just choreographed dances in musicals I’ve been in. I can’t imagine.
Wow! Examples of jumping without going fully through the foot (putting the heel down) in a video about the importance of a dancer's feet!
