Well, many dancers dance with different kind of feet, which categorize into three types!. The first type is the Egyptian foot, which is a narrow, long foot in which the toes (any height of toes) taper!. The second foot, called a Greek foot is where the foot can be narrow or wide, but the second toe is always bigger than the big toe, The last foot is called a Giselle or Peasant foot, in which the foot is wide and short, and the toes are relatively the same height!. There are many dancers who have had successful careers who have any of these feet, as none of them have restrictions!. Hope this helps!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have extremely long toes, and a longer foot, but that hasn't stopped me! I have heard, though, that a higher arch does make it easier to go up on pointe, but you can fix pretty much everything with a lot of hard work!. Don't rush yourself!
Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Usually if you start young, you have small everything! This is because of all of the strain and pressure on everything!. If you started later in life, then you will be an average sized person!Www@QuestionHome@Com

My dance teacher says girls with higher arches and shorter toes have an easier time getting on pointe, but almost anyone can do it with the right strength!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think for ballet the feet should be small, but otherwise it should be normal to large!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
