Here are my pointe shoes

What makes the paper mache hard?

From my research i have learned that pointe shoes have many and by many i mean a whole bunch of layers of paper mache, which makes really hard ( hard enough to go on the tops of your toes and stay there for about 30 seconds, maybe longer)

Why I Choose this question

I choose this question because I'm very passionate about dance and I just got on pointe, Plus i have been dancing for about 4 years.
