Dancing reduces stress and tension for the mind and body. Studies by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute have shown that dancing also prevents heart disease in particular.
Bare feet
Dancing in bare feet enables the dancer to connect directly with the floor. Some modern dancers put tape on their toes and the balls of their feet to make it easier to turn and slide.
First balled dancer
First balled dancer that used pointe shoes was Marie Taglioni in 1832 ballet "La Sylphide".
