Sewing my first pointe shoes as a tattooed 30 year old

I’m 30, heavily tattooed, and started ballet almost a year ago. Sewing my first pair of pointe shoes felt like more than prep, it was a quiet rebellion. When I was young, I thought femininity meant weakness. I laughed at softness, rejected pink, called it “not me.” That was internalised patriarchy, the idea that girlhood and gentleness make us lesser. Over time, I saw how deep that runs, in me and in so many others. Ballet became one of my ways of unlearning that lie and letting myself be soft, elegant, and curious again. It’s strange how rebellion can look like grace. ‪@alignmentdanceeducation1851‬ #adultballet #innerchildhealing #femininity #balletjourney
