>hey! okay it's me again, I have like three things written here already, but I was just wondering: whats this whole "arch" thing that everyone is always talking about? High arches? what ARE those and how do you get them? okay another thing is this: I have this dresser that I sometimes use as a barre. I don't have toe shoes or any shoes for that matter, but sometimes I lift myself on the dresser and I can stand on my toes for a few seconds. is this good or bad? it kinda hurts when I come down, is that what it feels like to dance on pointe? what's it like? are you like putting ALL your weight on your big toes? do the actual shoes make it eaiser to stay on your toes? okay one last thing. I'm going to my FIRST class soon, and what shoes should I get? the regular canvas ones? or the silk flat ones? I know that split sole is supposed to be better. Please answer all these questions!! thanks!
