Feet are one the main body parts dancers use to perform and although the pink silk shoes look elegant they hide the truths of dancers feet. These pointe shoes give the illusion of ballerina's dancing on their tip toe however they cause painful deforms of the feet and injuries. Dancers have to bare pain from corns, growths, black nails, purpling flesh and blisters. Leading Podiatrist Peter Norman has treated the Royal Ballet students for over 16 years and has said "I know of dancers who have gone on pointe with broken bones and stress factures"
Feet are a great body part to study and draw, however I have chosen to research into ballerina feet as they are one of the most telling signs of demanding and harsh ballet is that rarely anybody see's to understand.
