My article: They make it look easy but it’s not: Ballerinas deal with serious foot pain.

The 5 W’s:
Who: Lauren Lovette and Ballerina’s.
Where: New York City Ballet
When: Posted 06.02.17
What: Ballerina’s deal with serious pain from being in pointe shoes non stop.
Why: Ballerina’s are always in tight fitting stiff pointe shoes unlike any other sport where you just were trainers so their feet get very sore and tired.



Six sentence summary:
Ballerina’s are always in a battle with their feet. Being in tight fitting pointe shoe all day makes their feet very tired and sore. Ballerina’s dance through pain and lauren lovette was always in pain until she found out she had and extra bone in her left foot. Shoemakers make their shoes hard and stiff by putting wood and layers of fabric and glue in their pointe shoes. You have to break in your pointe shoes before you use them.  The shoe and the dancers foot must work together as one, so each dancer must make sure the shoe fit’s perfectly.

Questions I’m wondering:
1: why do pointe shoes cost so much?

2: why does the inside of a pointe shoe have to be so hard.








Connections I’m making:
!: i used to do ballet and i watched the big kids dance in pointe shoes.
