pointe shoes
A "pointe" is the ballet figure where one stands on tiptoes.
This ballet features a great deal of tricky and demanding pointe work.
The production features a Swan Queen who balances, on pointe, on top of her partner's head.
The scene features 16 white swans, en pointe in the mist by the lake, arms gracefully stroking the air in imaginary flight.
We used to have pointe classes without shoes, which was painful, but incredibly strengthening.
