"...my mother taught ballet for years and years. somewhere in there i was ushered into the ballet class where i showed little talent and even less patience for the art. don't get me wrong, i love watching ballet, and i'm a bit of snob about it too because i know what to look for, but i just was not ...morecut out for it. what i did love about ballet were certain components of the dancer's wardrobe. leg-warmers, tights, wraparound sweaters and sheer little skirts were so heavily in play that i think it was that that instilled a bit of the girl into my otherwise tougher look when i was growing up. however, what i always loved and still do, is the look of the pointe shoe.
i did not love what they did to my feet, i could do without the blisters and bleeding, but they made you look like a ballerina - instantly imbued with grace and fluidity. years later, i wouldn't dream of putting them on my feet to dance, but to put on a pair of these repetto 'bardo' ballerina flats would be like having the best of both the style of the dance and the style of the street. truly fantastic...."

"Now THAT is what I'm talking about! I need these in my life because, as you all can tell by now, I am the Queen of Flats. These flats look straight out of a dancer's bag, but they aren't. I have tears in my eyes."
"I was lost on the streets of San Luis Obispo when I spotted the poster for Ballet Theater San Luis Obispo's "The Velveteen Rabbit". I loved it so much I wanted to take if from the window it was displayed in. Lucky for me I could find a copy of it online. Still makes me wonder, who knew that San Luis Obispo had a Ballet Theater?"
"Add some sparkle to any outfit with these darling "Mixed Tape" ballet flats by BC Footwear. They feature a fabric upper covered in grey, fuchsia and royal blue glitter, and a big grey grosgrain ribbon double bow on the back of each heel. Just as perfect with jeans and a white tank top, as they are with a fancy party dress ♥"
