Diagram of the Foot

This is a diagram of the bones of the foot. A dancers most valuable attribute is their feet, because, obviously, it's a bit difficult to dance without them. Feet are very intricate and contain very tiny bones which enhance a dancers ability to dance on pointe and can bend and move in beautiful ways for a dancer aesthetic needs.







This is an x-ray of a foot in a pointe shoe. If a dancer were to damage a vital bone in their foot, dancing on pointe would become near to impossible.
