Technical
Tuesday Feet
The next
time you put on your ballet or pointe shoes consider this: Human feet have 52
bones, which amounts to one quarter of the bones in the body. Think about all
those essential bones during tendues, etc!
Here’s
another fact: Your feet have 500,000
sweat glands and can produce more than a pint of sweat a day. Now you
know why you should allow your pointe shoes to dry out after use!
There are
many other facts, savory and unsavory, but that’s enough for today.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #26ee:
“Human feet have 52 bones, accounting for one quarter of all the
human body’s bones.”
