Leather Ballet Slippers

Works deglamourised the body rebelling against theatrical traditions of magic, make-believe, illusion, the star system, and emotional manipulations. Sneakers replaced ballet pumps as performers danced in their everyday shoes. Even work boots made an appearance as popular tap, become accepted into the avant grade dance form. Modern choreographers now demand dancers cope not only with pointe work but also the many new choreographic moves, which have come subsequently.

The dancers were definitely doing ballet, as the ballroom and ballet dance forms were now recognised as separate. The turning out the legs which had been originally to display the buckles of shoes become much more important in ballet, although it was still desirable in ballroom dancing. Now, ballet requires almost flat turnout and in ballroom turnout is not really necessary at all. With the French revolution came a fashion revolution in ballet.

The once epitome of grace had become to the post modern feminist the nemesis of freedom itself. The Modern Dance movement of the 1930s and 40s reflected the utilitarian times with performances which expressed the struggle against represion gravity. Barefoot dancing came to represent control, economy, and immediacy. The 1960s saw another revolt against much that had been tradition in Western dance performance.

Another consequence of repeatedly pointing the foot is the development of traction osteophytes at the front of the ankle. These can break off forming loose bodies in the front of the ankle joint that lead to anterior impingement when the foot is dorsiflexed. The ankle tendons are often overused and sometime crepitus occurs. The most vulnerable is the flexor hallucis longus. This tendon plantarflexes the big toe and helps the dancer get up onto pointe. Overuse of this tendon can produce a nodule which can be felt moving with the tendon just behind the medial malleolus.

Corns and calluses are common however and pressure to the Achilles tendon at the posterior aspect of the malleoli is reported. The foot when the dancer adopts a turned out position can lead to tendinitis. Repeated jumping and landing may irritate the sesamoids causing sesamoiditis. Dancers are taught to land lightly and with a small bend of the knees to dissipate the shock of hitting the hard floor. To ignore this may lead to chondromalacia of one of the sesamoids. Stress fractures are frequently reported with the most common site in the second metatarsal.

When Isadora Duncan discovered a new dance form at the beginning of the twentieth century it was one in which the female body was free of corsets and her bare feet were firmly planted on terra firma. The spirituality between earth and heaven was expressed in the more natural movement sandals and barefeet allowed. Isadora Duncan became quite outspoken against the aesthetics of classical ballet, in particular the constricting and painful pointe shoes.

This was thought by many experts to be the reason why the ankle was so often damaged when the dancer sprang onto the full pointe position. Pointe work often results in damage to the great nail with Black nail, Onychauxis and ingrown nails commonly reported.

The aesthetics of ballet call for a long, tapered line of the leg, which is enhanced by the almost conical shape of the shoe. Dancers wear blocked slippers called toe shoes or pointe shoes in order to dance on the tips of their toes. The ballerina strives to create an illusion of weightless-ness, which is achieved by rapidly, skimming the floor, spinning and sustaining poses. Whilst ballet shoes have been described as athletic shoes made from paper and paste there remains remarkably few serious injuries found in the feet of the modern ballerinas.
