How have these shoes been modified and why?
An easy one:
1. What change did the dancer make to this pair of pointes?
2. List three benefits of making this modification.

MMMMmmmmm ok Jill,
ReplyDeleteI take the one that is obvious.The dancer removed the satin and, darned the platform-base.
there are a few reasons why a dance would do this .They are :
The platform is too slippery
Too small or too soft
When the shoe is crooked due to wear and ,tear
Pointe balance is not ideal
shoe changes shape
Can't stay up securely
There may be more still I can not think of them right now
How did I do teach?
That's exactly right Paul! She completely darned the platforms. In addition to what you listed other benefits of darning platforms are: To make the pointework quieter and the platforms last longer.
