Aย pointe shoeย is a type of shoe worn byย balletย dancers when performingย pointe work. Pointe shoes were conceived in response to the desire for dancers to appear weightless andย sylph-like and have evolved to enable dancers to danceย en pointeย (on the tips of their toes) for extended periods of time. They are manufactured in a variety of colors, from darker nudes, to most commonly in shades of light pink. From Wikipedia.
