In the world of ballerinas

      Ballet dance is a unique and classical form of dance which one start learning at an early stage. It is one of the most beautiful dance styles to watch but also one of the hardest to learn.
    This dance originated from Italy in the fifteenth century. It requires years of training to become perfect in it.  Most professional ballerinas start at a very early stage to practise ballet dance. I admire ballerinas a lot and wish to learn some moves but that won't be possible unless i am ready to start using a pair of crutches...Lol! They always throw their bodies into different motions yet the feet meet the floor and air in graceful ways.

     Ballerinas are always associated with feet damages because they always have to stand with their feet turned out all the time. They suffer from feet problems such as blisters, bunions and sometimes broken nails. 

    Bruised or broken nails may arise as a result of shoes that are too wide. In other words, the pointe shoes (shoes worn by ballerinas) should be fitted.

    

  Also, blisters may arise as a result of insufficient padding in the pointe shoes. Another problem that may be associated with a ballet dancer's feet is "bunions" which is a bump or bulge on the first joint of the big toe caused by the swelling of a sac of fluid under the skin.
