I had pointe shoes custom-made.
The girls didn't say anything; maybe they were being polite.
After about three months, I said to myself "Why?"
Guys dance on pointe only in some character roles and in travesty, like the Trocks.
I wanted to express my maleness and the strength of the male ballet danseur...that wasn't what pointe was about. I needed to jump!
I have three or four pairs of pointe shoes somewhere in a an old box.
