Beyond ShoesFeatured Article "My First Pair of Ballet Shoes"When did you get your first pair of ballet shoes or slippers??? I have been dancing for years, but the beginning of my dancing career still holds a special place for me. You see, when I first started taking ballet lessons we were very poor. It was at a community center, and we were able to take the lessons for free, but I was still too broke to afford ballet shoes. I did a pretty good job in socks, but without ballet dance shoes I felt like I stuck out. Then one day, disaster struck.
Although ballet shoes do not provide all that much protection, they are still much better than socks. They can grip the ground to some degree and keep you from falling. Dancing in the socks, it was only a matter of time before something happened and I had a fall. But when I fell, I fell hard.  I fell so hard, as a matter of fact, that I broke my leg. No more ballet dancing for me for several weeks! I was devastated, and my mom was unhappy too. That fall meant that I could not go to our class's performance. While the rest of the class got to dance, I was stuck hobbling around on crutches. I was furious and depressed. When I finally was well enough to dance again, however, I got right back into it. Even though I had no ballet shoes, I did not let that stop me. I danced twice as hard as before, and soon got my skills as a dancer back. Soon, I was twirling around with the best of them. I still remember the greatest thrill of that year. On the eve of my first performance, my mom presented me with a pair of ballet shoes. These were no ordinary discount ballet shoes. They were ballet pointe shoes, and some of the best ones that I had ever seen. These were true professional quality shoes, shoes which she had been saving every penny for for the past several months. She was so proud of me, and I was so happy to get them. I still have those ballet shoes to this day, although of course they no longer fit my feet. I treasure them more than anything else. The day that I got those ballet shoes was one of the best days of my life, and the day that I decided I would go on to make a career as a dancer. I have never regretted that decision.
