toe stand
Pointe without support
A toe stand is a ballet position where the dancer balances on the tips of the toes, typically in pointe shoes.
In yoga, it refers to a challenging squat performed while balancing on the balls of the feet with heels lifted.
Both uses emphasize balance and strength at the extreme forward point of the foot.
