I was never much good at ballet, it may surprise you to hear. But we always used to eat wine gums at the end, and I liked that part. Lucikly, wearing ballet flats isn’t dependent on having gotten your grade 2 (I’m guessing at the grade system here). Normal, heavyfooted people can wear them too. And there are lots of great looking pairs out there, only some of them are made of cardboard – no really. I had a pair that split down the sole, and when I looked inside, cardboard. Buying a slightly more expensive pair will mean that you won’t get shinsplints when uou wear them, and also they look fancy.
