    Despite the harsh working conditions on display here, I found this text to be a heartwarming handshake across social boundaries. The tough blue collar workers meeting with and being appreciated by the ballerinas for whom they make shoes that last only such a brief amount of time. I love how most of them don't really go to ballet, but that they enjoy personally meeting the dancers.

    I enjoyed this article due to the personal testemonials, but if you want some extra info in a video, Business Insider made a video on this some time ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn1rN0tu1Ro
