A Brief History of
Ballet Shoes
Cocorose London
Ballet is a highly technical, performance
dance that consists of choreography and
a music accompaniment. Ballet
originated during the grace and grandeur
of the Italian Renaissance and,
throughout the centuries, has become a
globally influential dance genre and
culture, celebrating the magnificence of
the human body in movement.
Inspiration From King
Louis XIV Shoes
The year 1661 was a milestone in
the history of ballet dance as the
King founded the Academie
Royale de Danse, the first dance
institute in the west.
Marie Camargo
Wore Ballet
Shoes Without
Heels
Following the French revolution, non-heeled ballet flats became popular with
ballet dancers. The ballet slippers were crafted from satin, leather or canvas.
Though the satin ballet flats would not last as long as the leather ones, they were
preferred for formal performances.
Bournonville Slippers
Swedish-born French dancer and choreographer Charles Didelot reinvented the ballet flat by introducing
ribbons to the ballet shoes in order to secure them to the dancers’ feet.
Anna Pavlova’s Boxed Ballerinas
Celebrated Russian ballerina Anna
Pavlova is said to be responsible for
transforming the ballet flat into
modern pointe shoes.
With its elegant silhouette and easy to
wear nature, it’s no wonder that ballet
pumps have become one of the most
popular shoes for everyday wear.
