The Art of Ballet by Chen Yuxian
Those who dedicate themselves to the art of ballet and explore its mysteries are not willing to make the secret public. If the secret of the ballet shoes were revealed, it seems that the mystery of ballet would cease to exist.
The ballet shoes can withstand the huge loads comparable to those of soccer shoes, and the key is in the tip of the shoe. The key is the tip, which is not only soft, but also has a significant safety factor. Even if the tip breaks during the jump, the actress is guaranteed not to be crippled.
The famous Russian? Grishko? Company produces ballet shoes from Africa to Mexico, which are popular in more than thirty countries.
The tips of the ballet shoes are sewn from fabrics used in the production of corsets, such as satin. Grishko? s experts have concluded that the most suitable color for ballet shoes? peach-skin color, which does not irritate the audience and soothes the actress herself, rather than the usual in many countries ? pink.
The great mystery of the toe of the ballet shoes lies in the ? Shoeboxes? The shoebox? is hidden in the toe. The shoebox? The shoebox is actually a hard sleeve that covers the toes and part of the top of the foot. Shoeboxes do not use wood, plastic, cork, etc. Instead of using wood, plastic, cork, etc., it is made of six layers of the most common sackcloth or other textiles that are glued together.? Grishko? The company has expertise in adhesives that make the tip of the shoe neither too hard, nor too soft, nor easy to break.
The tips are hand-stitched, and then attached to the shoe, along with the? The shoe box is hand-sewn. The tip of the shoe is sewn by hand, and then sewn to the rest of the shoe, with the inside facing out. After that, the cobbler turns the tip back over and uses a small hammer to turn the tip of the shoe back on. The shoebox is then smoothed out with a hammer. The shoebox is then smoothed out. When there are no uneven areas, the shoe is stood upright on a hard surface to see if it stays balanced
. Finally, let the dance shoes dry at 50 degrees Celsius and store them at room temperature. A pair of ballet shoes ready to go! The life span of a pair of ballet shoes is regrettably short: 2-3 performances on the stage.? Grishko? The record for dancing shoes is the Bolshoi Theater's soloist Nadezhda? Gracho danced with Kitri in the ballet "Don Quixote" for 9 performances.
To accommodate different heights of feet, ballet shoes total **** 3 models: ? Vaganova? ,? Elita? , and the "Fouetit". Fouetje? Each model is available in 17 sizes. In addition, each size has 5 types of fat and thin conditions. Any actress can pick the ideal shoe for herself from the 255 types of shoes that vary in thickness, size, and fatness. Nonetheless, each actress has her own tricks to make the shoes fit her feet better: some use a small hammer to beat the shoes, others use a door to squeeze the shoes, and still others use a variety of things to pad the shoes into the ? Shoeboxes?
Russia
.Russian ballet star Ekaterina? Maximovaya admits that in the days when there weren't enough choices, she had to spend an entire day getting her feet used to her dancing shoes with each new repertoire.
Another thing not mentioned is that each actress usually sewed little ribbons on her dancing shoes by hand. The road to the stage is open!
As for the men, the so-called soft shoes? To the layman, they look like ordinary cloth shoes. The production process is certainly not comparable to that of actresses, but it has its own delicacy. There are two kinds of soft shoes: whole soles and split soles. The split sole consists of two parts: the front of the shoe and the heel. It is the front part of the shoe that makes the actor's feet comfortable and free in it.
The tying method of the dancing shoes is also very delicate: usually the ribbon is tied twice around the leg and then tied with a bow. Since ribbons are not allowed to be tied during performances, the actors have to tie their shoes very tightly before going on stage.
