From this point on, the ballet dancers abandoned high-heeled shoes and heavy clothing in favor of lighter shoes single flat tip shoes, and flesh-colored mesh, which allowed artists more freedom. French artists enjoyed a certain success in propagating a new level of theatrical representation to a wider audience in other countries.
Charles DIDELOT, a second generation Swedish dancer who studied and performed in France and Russia around 1800, was the impetus for the evolution towards the dance ballet "on end" meaning "in the fingers . The technique requires a great tip is stability and strength, because the whole body weight is in precarious balance in points of a rigid or both feet.
DIDELOT performances as a dancer and choreographer were unique and expressive. He is credited with advancing the art form with innovations and developments in style and costumes.
