Question:

If ballet dancers were taller would that mean they wouldn't have to stand on their toes?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No. They don't stand on their toes to begin with, they DANCE on their toes.
Pivoting works better on a small surface, and a toe is much smaller than a foot.
Also, the toe positions lend a certain grace to the dance movements that don't happen when the whole foot is set down.
That's also why women wear high heels; not because they want to be taller, but because they want to look more graceful.
