> Just don't repeat this too often, as you will also damage the fabric in that area of the shoe, and make it easier for your properly-sewn elastics to weaken or even pop off.  (This happened to me once, in class.  Suddenly, I felt my left shoe come loose while we were practicing frappes - I had struck the floor instead of brushing.  Naturally, there was nothing I could about it at that point.  The shoe stayed on - until I did a grande battement.  I managed to punt the shoe clear across the room, just missing the instructor's head, and bouncing off the mirror.)

Bill, thanks for telling this story on yourself!  Loved it!  I'velet myself in for all sorts of embarrassments in class, but notthat one.  (Yet.  Just give me time....)
