A Man in Pointe

I did make it into my Intro to Ballet class today having slept most of the day yesterday.

There were three new people in class and they were all men. One guy was in tights and ankle warmers and.... pointe shoes!!!

I'd never seen a man in pointe shoes, at least not to my memory. And I guess I got a thing for men in tights and apparently pointe shoes because I couldn't stop looking at him. He had nice legs, although I guess pointe would do it as the other ladies who wear pointe also seem to have great legs.

From what I understand, you need a lot of alignment and strength in your feet, ankles and legs to properly dance pointe without hurting yourself. I really want to try it.

Just because.
