Ballerina Puts On Shoe
Blackberry Ballet Studio, Toronto: On Monday, ballerina Isadora Duncan put her dance slippers on in a spectacular fashion so she could dance.
"I've never seen anything like it!" claims local shoe-putting-on expert Dr. Dach. "She put her foot in one slipper with such confidence and speed! Her foot didn't miss the slipper one bit!"
Duncan was preparing for a dance. She had already put on her other dancing clothes and only needed to put on her slippers. Only then would she be ready for her recital for the king of Scandinavia.
"Her motions were so fluid," says other shoe-putting-on expert Dr. Shund. "She was aware of the time she had and put her slippers on in swift motions: not too fast, but not too slow. It was like watching an expert of shoe-putting-on putting their shoes on. Obviously, she has been putting on shoes for years."
"The slippers were a great help for Isadora," says shoe expert Germaine Sheppard, who was on the scene when Duncan slipped and stabbed her leg on a prop during her solo. "When she slipped and hit a sharp decoration, the slippers helped to absorb a lot of the blood. You see, the wool material they were made of helped soak up the blood so it wouldn't stain the stage. Isadora was right to put on those slippers."
Duncan first put on her left slipper, gently sliding them on with both of her hands. Fellow dancers claim that she then used both hands to put her other slipper on her right foot.
