Description this is for my AP art studio concentration portfolio. The subject I studied was ballet. I wanted to show the after effects of training and dancing for so long--what was behind the delicately beautiful ballet slipper. Basically, the damage to their feet.

i used to be in ballet when i was little (when i was around 9) i only did pointe for a year though, so my feet do not look like this. i wonder if i had the opportunity to keep dancing would they have looked like this? although most people would think it was something "unsightly" I think it would bring a sort of sense of pride
but then again that is just me
those are some awesome feet btw, killer anatomy!

wow! That is awesome. I always wanted to ballet, but I was too stubborn as a kid. (lol) I completely agree with you. To perfect such a graceful and beautiful art takes so many years of dedication and practice. It shows how much work a dancer puts in their field and it's not something anyone could just do. People downplay how great it is. (:

Thank you so much! feet are still my weakness lol.

lol, i did it for about 6 years but you can only do pointe if you have 5 continuous years of very disciplined practice.

where you the type to like girly stuff (ballet is considered a girly thing even thouhg it is so much more than that )but did not want to admit it? xD

it is definitely something amazing. what i think makes it so unnapreciated is the fact that people think it is overly feminine or something that makes a person weak (since its a delicate form of expression) and i can say that it is indeed hard work, dancers have some serious muscle and toned bodies O:

wow, sounds like i got into it xD (sorry if it is too long >_> )

i think that it is everybody's weakness, haha
