Over the summer I did a lot of ballet. However, one of the girls from my studio got to go to Texas and dance at a summer intensive there. When she came back, she told us a funny story. Now you see, Chloe breaks pointe shoes in quickly. Everyone at Capizio's knows her really well. So when she went to Texas she had to bring about five or six pairs of pointe shoes with her. When she was in the airport heading home however, she came across an issue. For those of you who are not familiar with the pointe shoe, there are typically two tiny nails to keep the shank and rest of the pointe shoe together. So, guess what happened? Her pointe shoes made the metal detector go off and the airport security had to examine each and every single pointe shoe. That's at least ten pointe shoes to examine. I mean, yes ballet dancers are hardcore and tough as nails, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't put a bomb or weapon in our pointe shoes. Especially a bomb, I mean that would be a waste of a completely good pair of pointe shoes!! Anyways, as always, have a great day and just keep dancing! ~Mia
