What is the name for the ballet shoes?
The soft shoes are known as ballet slippers.
The hard shoes that enable you to rise onto your toes are called pointe shoes.
yes point ballet is dangerous cause if you do something wrong in point shoes you can break you ankle !!!!!!!!!!!!
Dancing en pointe can be dangerous if you try without the sufficient training. You usually start dancing en pointe after about 5 or 6 years of ballet training (this depends on how many lessons you have per week), and you must be 11 years old or older. When you are under 11 your bones are still growing and you could permanantly damage them. Your pointe shoes need to be carefully fitted, and you must be taught to tie the ribbons correctly, and sew on new ribbons. Your ballet teacher will carefully and slowly teach you to dance on your toes, and you must follow her instructions perfectly. At first you will probably only be allowed to dance en pointe under her careful supervision. If you follow instructions, and don't take risks you will be fine.
It is said though that ballet dancers sometimes have problems with their feet (especially ankles and toes) later in life.

What do judges look for at dance competitions?
Judges look for pretty much everything. Like pointed toes, energy even the formation. Also they look to make sure that everyone is on the same beat. If you really want to impress the judges show emotion while you dance. For example if you are dancing to a sad song have a sad look on your face. But if the dance is happy be smiley just have fun. But the hardest thing to remember to do at a competition is to be sharp about everything the more sharp you are it will definitely catch the judges eyes. I really hope this helps!
