Ballet Shoes Emoji
Meaning
Shoes worn by ballet dancers for pointe work. As such, most platforms show a pair of pink or peach shoes resting en pointe, though WhatsApp only shows a single shoe, as did a previous Toss Face design.
Sometimes used to represent dancing in general, rather than ballet specifically. Historically was occasionally used to represent the color pink, though this predated the introduction of the 🩷 Pink Heart.
In September 2025, a 🧑🩰 Ballet Dancer was approved, creating a gender-neutral alternative to the 💃 Woman Dancing and 🕺 Man Dancing emojis. Each of the skin tone variations of the 🧑🩰 Ballet Dancer are shown wearing ballet shoes matching their skin tone.
