!!PSA FOR PEARL COSPLAYERS! ! its not hard to tell but pearl is very ballerina inspired and you as a non dancer just go on Amazon and buy the first thing that comes up when you search for shoes but listen! I have done ballet est I was 2 and now teach kids it so im kinda an expert. Do not EVER buy point shoes for cosplay if you are not trained. Point shoes are also supposed to be expensive if you get a cheap pair for less than $50 you will get hurt. Being able to wear these shoes is an honor and show how hard a ballerina has trained to get there. Wearing these shoes requires at least 4-5 years of ballet and you must be older than 12. These shoes are painful here’s a list of injury s you can/will get if you wear them un trained ¤blisters ¤Broken toe nails ¤Sprained ankle ¤Broken foot ¤Broken leg So in short dont do it BUT what you can do is get normal ballet shoes everyone can get the and their cheap so have fun

I’m not into Steven universe, but this is seriously important! As a ballet dancer myself I know how bad you can injure yourself with pointe shoes, please don’t go walking around on cheap pointes, cuz they might break and if you fall you can seriously damage your legs!

Awe I was kinda hoping this was gonne be the one with teh respones that was like “Now cosplaying as a balarina is cultural appropriatin?” and then OP was like “I never said it was cultural appropriation, I said don’t wear it because you’re gonna break your legs.
