When they are new, ballet shoes are interchangeable until the dancer bends them in and decides which shoe goes best on which foot. In fact, ballet shoes are best when they are old and professional dancers are accustomed to breaking their shoes down by any means, even hitting them with a hammer, until they reach a comfortable extent of pliancy. There are soft ballet shoes and point shoes. Soft shoes are essentially worn by male dancers. Made of leather and lined with canvas, the under sole is much smaller than the sole of the foot. In this way, the dancer’s toes and part of his heel stand on the soft upper leather. In point shoes, the toe is tied with an extra layer of canvas, hardened with paste, to provide a little flat area for the dancer to balance on.

(Khoảng mười sáu tuổi, bạn phải đưa ra một trong những quyết định lớn nhất của cuộc đời mình. “Tôi có ở lại trường và hy vọng sẽ học tiếp lên đại học không? Hoặc là rời đi và bắt đầu công việc hay bắt đầu một khóa đào tạo đáng giá?" Quyết định là của bạn, nhưng có thể đáng nhớ hai điều: tỷ lệ thất nghiệp ở những người chưa học đại học ngày càng nhiều và những người có kỹ năng phù hợp sẽ có lợi thế lớn trong cuộc cạnh tranh tìm việc làm. Nếu bạn quyết định đi làm thẳng, có rất nhiều cơ hội được đào tạo. Có được bằng cấp sẽ giúp bạn nhanh chóng tham gia nhiều ngành nghề hơn, và các lớp học buổi tối cho phép bạn vừa học vừa kiếm được tiền. Bắt đầu làm việc và nghỉ ngơi để học khi bạn lớn hơn là một khả năng khác. Bằng cách này, bạn có thể tiết kiệm chi phí cho thời sinh viên cũng như có được kinh nghiệm làm việc thực tế.)
