Personal Reflection
a) I chose my topic because I am a dancer and I thought it would be interesting to learn about the background and history of pointe shoes.
b) The most interesting thing I learned was actually what I didn't learn, that pointe shoes have no real known inventor. Nobody knows who actually built the first pair.
c) -Pointe shoes cost typically $80 a pair and last a professional 8-12 hours.
-Cinicinnati ballet company female dancers go through an average of about 80 pairs a season.
d) My topic can relate to dance, music, P.E., math, and language. Many dancers were educated on how to be physically active and knew how to count the music. It relates to language because the pointe shoe was an international item.
e) In the end, I was happy with my choice because I felt it was interesting and there was enough information on my topic.
