Quote
"I believe that pointe shoes in ballet are what truly make 'ballet' what it is. A person can do choreography on pointe- to me, it's much more beautiful and elegant. The posture and presence of a dancer of pointe to me is better than any other kind of dance."
"Pointe shoes have definatly changed dance in many ways. An important one is that it makes you a lot more beautiful and elegant. Another is it revolutionized the technique. As time went on, signififcant dancers would be doing these 'impossible' techniques"
"I think it's one of the few arts that has maintained it's history. I think it's one of the few things that has kind of maintained and stayed true to what it is."
"In the life of dance: Grace glids on blistered feet."
"A toe shoe is eccentric as the ballerina who wears it: their marriage is a commitment."
