Yes that whole pointe in outdoor shoes thing could cause chaos.... but on the other hand, I like a lot of the film's approach, it doesn't make being a ballet dancer look easy (sometimes children and parents see films and then come to class expecting to be superstars within weeks), and it delivers a message that hard work and passion will succeed over nastiness (and a pushy mum?!). Here's hoping it will be good....

I was at a performance at the ROH once with a lot of schoolchildren. it was the Kirov doing Jewels and in the interval so many of the girls (mainly secondary school) were trying to dance en pointe in their school shoes while the boys rode up and down the escalators. They were very well behaved during the performance and very loud in their appreciation at the end. it gave a different perspective to the performance and nice to think this might have been their first introduction to live performance, never mind ballet. Would be interesting to know if any of them were enthused to return.
