I can’t even see her toes past her hyper extended alien knees
ProPupperPetter
That knee hyperextension though...
MissAsgariaFartcake
Yeah I know, its art... But it's crazy sick how it destroys the feet.

That looks horiffically painful
lifeofablondie
It is

We did similar exercises in Karate training.

That's why ballerina feet look the way they do. Bit still respect for dealing with that. Id cry like a baby.
shadowex3
Yep. Ballerina feet look like welder hands. Broken, scarred, callused, and frighteningly strong.
Chereazi
Pretty sure my arms aren't as strong as those toes...
grandmastoes
Ouch!

Speaking from experience, don't get kicked by a ballerina. Its like a goddamned shaped charge.

I got a footcramp just watching this

Yuck. My sister used to walk on her toes like that until she was 6 or 7. Said it didn't hurt at all - she could run and stuff. Freak.

Cubed-square law; smaller things have preportionaly less load::structural integrity ratios.

Ballerinas have awful feet, fact, it's not natural what they have to endure

I've always wished I stuck with Ballet. Stupid horrible teacher.

I would assume it's like Thai fighters and shins. Just doesn't hurt as much. Non the less ouch!
catbert225
Oh no. No no. I do taekwondo and do the strengthening on my arms and shins. Still hurts like fuck, just doesn't break.
moonkin
this kills the ballerina
FuckingGilfoyle
Ex-ballerina here. Four foot/ankle surgeries later, I still miss it.
buzzy462
Ballerinas are so hot but this is some straight up freak show shit
magnvsm
ouch
helmutk00hl
Aouch, ... and to my 7-year old taking a giggle at ballet: walk a mile in these shoes, then we'll talk again

This is simple comment, yet speaks absolute volumes.

Don't Google ballerina feet.
Tornadotaco
No kidding. Fuck that shit

Hammer toes, it happens.
louferrigno
can't touch those.

So the shoes are there entirely just so we don't get freaked out
shadowex3
The shoes have semi-rigid support structures in them to aid in doing this and protect the dancer... somewhat.
DangerousNoodle
More so we don't break our ankles and toes. Most dancers would never go en pointe without pointe shoes.
IWasGoingToMakeEspresso
A lot of dancers also use padding via lambs' wool or silicone cups.
caelicaelicaeli
The shoes are there to support the feet! They’re very important!

As someone with a foot fetish, I approve this post.

I have a foot fetish, but this made me weep because it will ruin the toes.
TheGirlInTheFireplace
This is true. But it's not my toes so I let them hurt themselves. Silly peoples.
