My soft block ballet shoes really hurt any ways to break in?
The best way to break in pointe or soft block shoes is just to wear them a lot, do lot's of rises in first, and walk in them around the house and spring on to demi-pointe once in a while, and then wear them more. If you really are struggling, you can go put a tiny bit of water on the box, or "steam" them (When taking a shower, put them in the bathroom that you're taking a shower in, and let the heat make them softer. The softer the better.) I personally prefer just wearing them a lot, but it depends on the person and what they like.

Italy has just adopted this dance 400 years ago from India. In real, this dance has been originated from India around 80 000 to 90 000 years back.

What was native American scalp dance?
Every tribe was different, but among the Plains tribes it was common practice for a war party to set out to avenge the death of a member of their own tribe.
So a Crow war party might want revenge for the death of a Crow warrior killed by Pikuni Blackfoot - any Pikuni they found would be killed and scalped. The scalp would be brought back to the grieving mother of the dead Crow and it would be cut into many parts, mounted on sticks and "danced" by the mother and her female friends and relatives, accompanied by drumming, singing and celebrations that might last four days. This was a way of helping the mother to overcome her grief.
In some tribes both men and women "danced" the scalps (or a single scalp cut into many portions); in others it was just the women.
