“The Magic of Pointe Shoes” is for students of the art of dance and it is also for those of us who enjoy ballet and do now know much about the shoes the dancers wear. Storelli has a charm in her writing that tells the beginnings of the shoes, things that can happen when the wrong shoes are worn and a lot more that anyone can understand. There are other books about ballet but “The Magic of Pointe Shoes” is the first to include so many different aspects told by so many in the field. “The Magic of Pointe Shoes” is an educational, informative and interesting account that will make viewers of the performers have a deeper appreciation of the training they put themselves through.
