dance on their tiptoes. This is called
dancing en pointe.
Performance ballet clothes
are similar to practice clothes.
Costumes help identify the
characters in the ballet. Ballerinas
often wear layered skirts
called tutus.
Tie the drawstrings on your ballet
shoes tight. Make a bow. Then tuck the
bow into the front of your shoe. This
keeps the bow out of sight.
