Former Ballet Mistress Ursula Hageli looks at the development of pointe work in ballet, where the dancers move on the tips of their toes - from Marie Taglioni’s experiments in the 1830s, through developments by Italian and Russian dancers through to the famed pointe work of Russian Classical ballet. With danced demonstrations by Gemma Pitchley-Gale and Fumi Kaneko.
Ballet Evolved events explore the ballet through the centuries from its origins at the French court. It is one of a number of Insights held at the Royal Opera House. Find out more:

Just looking at how tightly Gemma has those shoes tied around her ankles is making MY feet numb! 😱
My respect for ballet dancers has no limits
It's honestly scary at this point how many ballet-related videos I've watched thanks to RUclips's recommendation algorithm
I've always wanted to be a ballerina, but I'm too clumsy, not flexible enough, have a bad memory for steps, and now too old at 15 going on 16 😣
Who's watching this wishing they never quit dance
I would really like it if hey had classes in schools for stuff like this
I hate that almost every ballet dancer I see is a stick, I am a ballet dancer and I've been told I'll NEVER become a professional because I'm too curvy.
These videos make me wish to be a ballerina!
They make it look so easy, but boy is it difficult!
fumi makes me want to cry im so untalented
just chillin, watching ballet videos even though I've never done ballet in my life.
Fumi's tempo was PERFECT. Lovely
OMG the little piano section when Gemma does the bourres across the szage in the beginning... SUCH A MASTER, the pianist!!!
I see a lot of people commenting that they're 15-20 and saying they're too old for ballet. I just went back to ballet and I'm almost in my 30s. I've met people who just started who are around my age or even older and they have 0 ballet experience before they started taking adult ballet classes so you're not alone. I just started pointe work last month and so happy that I get start it at my age.
I've never actually sat down and paid attention to ballet prior to this. I've seen it, but never truly watched it. Its mesmerizing... so beautifully fluid. I don't know how I've deprived myself of Something so incredible before now.
Fumi's dancing is just breathtaking.
Beautiful... I really appreciate Royal Ballet for doing such informative videos!
Those turns on one foot at the last part of Fumi's solo were beautiful. I remember ABT's Nanette Glushak doing them in their production of Don Q. This clip is wonderful!
I went to a ballet and sat near the front. I wasn’t prepared for the sound of the blocks clumping as they ran around!
I don't know a lot about ballet, but I know that I am just entranced when I watch it!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!!
