	Marie Taglioni
		But, whereas she is not buried in the Montmartre grave which bears her name, the grave in which she is buried does not identify her as Marie Taglioni, but as the Comptesse des Voisins.
		If it is shocking to learn that Taglioni is not in the grave that bears her name and where dancers have long paid tribute to her, it's equally shocking to learn that the grave in which she is buried identifies her by the name of the ex-husband who rejected her for dancing.
		The bottom line is that Taglioni deserves a grave which recognizes her for who she was, and dancers deserve to know where they can go to pay tribute to her.

		Taglioni was definitely the first who danced 'on her toes' though (even though it wasn't truly pointes, as I would imagine darning soft shoes would still be extremely painful and not very stable).
		You see apparently, Taglioni was very clumsy, a bit too tall etc. So, the romantic style (arms crossed, shortened arm in arabesque etc) was so that her arms appeared much shorter than they were in reality.
		marie taglioni sort of "invented" the idea of pointe, inasmuch as it was really the perfect extention of the body for the romantic ballet - it was very ethereal and very magical to watch dancers hover up on their toes, it looked like they really were sylphs and wilis up there floating on the stage.
