Pointe shoe

The Wikipedia article Pointe Shoe I researched has everything to do with the structure and build of the shoe. My original article question was are pointe shoes damaging to feet. Well to figure that out we start with the shoe itself. The article focuses on the shoes satin fabric, the box on the toe, and the ballet ribbons that warp around your ankle. Although this article does talk about the shoe it fails to give out information about the dancer’s feet in the shoes. There is a section for breaking pointe shoes in for a dancer but it’s pretty small and doesn’t go into how or why breaking the shoes in are important for not only the dancer but the dancer’s feet as well. I noticed while reading the article that it doesn’t state a references until the reference section at the end meaning that I don’t know when the writer pulled his or her information or where they added it in the article. All the material about pointe shoes that were in the references weren’t in the article the writer pick and choose which ones where more important to talk about. This article could help me with my topic because it mentions that pointe shoes are damaging to the feet tying in the use of different toe pads to help with the discomfort and the formation of bunions and joint pains dancing on pointe can bring to your feet. This articles seems neutral, just an information page on pointe shoes, however I feel as though this article can broaden its information on the style of dance pointe shoes are for and the effects they can have from long term dancing in this style/shoe. For the amount of information on the reference pages I feel as though the Wikipedia page created could’ve have been a lot longer and they could have gave more detail on the section of each part of the shoe and how it works in keeping the dancer on her toes. The reference to one of the sites called dancing shoes I found very closely shared some words with the article about how the box of the pointe shoe "Encases" the dancer feet keeping her upright and moving. The research on pointe shoes has basically stayed the same, so everything in the article was up to date. Of course now they have different types of boxes a person can have with a pointe shoe why the different lengths and how they may help different kind of people with different feet. Feet also pay a big part with pointe shoes. A section on how a certain type of foot is needed to take ballet and go up on pointe and be in pointe shoes. I couldn’t find the article rating.

Drafted Contributions to Dance Positions

Specific placement of the body

Dance Positions in Ballet:

First position is when the heels of the feet are touching and the toes are turned out as far as possible extending the legs, spine, and neck by standing up tall.

Second position is when the legs stay turned out with a step out to the side just wide enough that with a pile your legs will be parallel to each other.
