Why does the Little Swan Dance be danced on tiptoe?

At the beginning of ballet, dancers did not use pointe, until the 19th century, the emergence of pointe dance made romantic ballet more light, elegant, otherworldly, and formed an elegant and poetic style.

The invention of pointe shoes supported the weight of the dancer's body"faces"Shrink into"Dot", effectively reduce the friction with the ground, increase the speed of rotation, cause the effect of galloping, and the illusion of being in a fairyland. The use of pointe shoes can further elongate the otherwise slender body lines of the dancer to extend this specific beauty, which is vividly reflected"Distance is beautiful"of classical aesthetic principles. Therefore, the movement language of ballet is most suitable for expressing the unattainable content of fairy love, thus completing a high degree of unity between form and content.

Ballet"It is a transliteration of the French word ballet, which is a general term for European classical dance drama. Ballet originated in Italy during the Renaissance and was later introduced to France, where it was promoted by King Louis XIV and carefully organized by the Royal Academy of Dance, resulting in a set of dance movements and dance postures that embody the aesthetic ideals of classicism.

Classical ballet is a highly virtual and programmatic art, which requires standardization, and the movements and postures also have certain procedures and specifications. Stability should be ensured. Whether it is tiptoeing, half-tiptoe or full foot landing, it is required to find and maintain the center of gravity correctly, the supporting leg on the ground is not biased to the side of the big mu's toe, the whole foot bears the full weight of the body, and the whole body never deviates from the vertical axis perpendicular to the supporting leg.
