What accessories go with a kid's ballet costume?

Look at pictures of ballerinas to get an idea of the key elements for the costume. Consider the classic white or pale pink tights with a black or pink leotard. Other elements include a tutu, which is extremely popular with little girls. Pink ballet slippers are key, too, although, they might not be the best option for trick-or-treating. Hair should be pulled back and put up. There really aren't any extraneous props to be carried around. The costume and hair says it all. Props end up in the way as soon as the child leaves the house, so follow a "less is more" philosophy when planning the costume.

Who invented pointe shoes for ballet?

Though pointe work has been around awhile, it was 20th century Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova who was attributed to inventing pointe shoes. It was said that the famous prima had high arched insteps. This resulted in her being vulnerable to injuries while dancing on pointe.

She also had other foot problems. Her slender tapered feet put too much pressure on her big toes. She inserted toughened leather soles into her shoe to compensate for this. This gave her extra support and flattened and hardened the toe area. This formed a box around the toe and modern pointe shoe was born.

In 1832, the famous ballerina Marie Taglioni was the first to dance a full length ballet (Les Sylphide) en pointe, although her shoes were much different than the pointe shoes used today. They were most like regular ballet shoes, with the ends "darned" or reinforced with extra thread. Most likely, dancers used these pointe shoes before her famous performance, but she is the first to dance a full length ballet in them, and is thus given the credit.
