What did the first pointe shoes look like?

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. Dancers at this time were beginning to jump and turn more than dancers previously, and this required a change in the shoe that they needed. When ballet first appeared, dancers wore a shoe with a heel on it. As ballet technique progressed and became more demanding, the shoe changed as well, to a flat shoe, pleated on the bottom, with ribbons to secure it around the ankle. In Taglioni's day, when dancers were trying to portray ethereal, ghost-like creatures, as in Les Sylphide, the ability to rise on one's toes made them appear to be floating or gliding across the stage. So the pointe shoe evolved because of the demands of ballet, and the needs of the ballerinas dancing those roles.

What are substitutes for ballet slippers?

There aren't any that would be considered suitable in terms of functionality, so it is best to stick to the ballet shoe. Socks for instance, can be slippery - they don't provide enough grip to be able to execute turns and leaps safely in ballet. In other dance forms, it may be acceptable to wear 'foot thongs' (a type of sole protection).

How was ballet created?

Only royalty could perform the early form of "ballet". At first, the music was more important then the dance. The dancers would just take simple turned-out steps, and it was "beautiful". THat is how ballet got started, but soon, the dancing became more of the center of attention than the music. People started taking chances, and adding more steps and jumps to "ballet". Now adays, ballet is competitive, and is considered very beautiful. There are over 300 dance "moves" now. And just think: It started out as a couple of simple steps. You're welcome...

Is there any samples in just dance by Lady Gaga?

Having not bought the CD (and being unable to find attribution on the web), I can't verify whether it is actually credited as a "sample", but the first line after the intro in the song ("I've had a little bit too much...") is a direct musical lift of the opening line of U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" ("I can't believe the news today..."). In addition to the driving beat, this might account for the familiarity and immediate lyrical acceptance of Lady Gaga's smash hit.

Is ballet expensive?

It can be, depending on what quality dance wear you want to invest in.

Tutus and pointe shoes are probably the most expensive things to consider if you are wanting to become serious: I have heard of tutus ranging in price from around $80 to several hundred. Pointe shoes range in price too: for example, Bloch shoes are about 80 or 90 Austraian dollars, and other brands sell for over $150 a pair.
