Question: Who is the father of the ballerina credited with being the first to truly dance en pointe?

<P0-S0> Filippo Taglioni (aka Philippe Taglioni; 5 November 1777 – 11 February 1871) was an Italian dancer and choreographer and personal teacher to his own daughter, the famous Romantic ballerina Marie Taglioni. <P0-S1>  (He had another child who also danced ballet, Paul Taglioni.) <P0-S2>  Also, although August Bournonville's version is better known, it was Taglioni who was the original choreographer of "La Sylphide", in 1832. <SEP> <P1-S0> Marie Taglioni (23 April 1804 – 22 April 1884) was a ballet dancer of the Romantic ballet era, a central figure in the history of European dance. <P1-S1>  She was one of the most celebrated ballerinas of the romantic ballet, which was cultivated primarily at Her Majesty's Theatre in London, and at the Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique of the Paris Opera Ballet. <P1-S2>  She is credited with (though not confirmed) being the first ballerina to truly dance en pointe. <SEP> <P2-S0> The ballet boot is a contemporary style of fetish footwear that merges the look of the pointe shoe with a high heel. <P2-S1>  The idea is to force the wearer's feet almost "en pointe", like those of a ballerina, with the aid of long, slender heels. <P2-S2>  When upright, the feet are held nearly vertical by the shoe, thus putting nearly all of the body's weight on the tips of the toes. <P2-S3>  However, a properly tight fit (firmly laced) will hold the shoe to the wearer's instep and heel, thereby reducing the weight on the wearer's toes. <SEP> <P3-S0>  She moved to Paris where she danced with the Ballet Excelsior at the Folies Bergère. <P3-S1>  She returned to Paris and although she was reputed to have had twenty-eight love affairs in one year at the height of her fame, she had few real friends and continued to live in poverty. <P3-S2>  In 1910 she was earning $1000 a week when dancing in the Teatro Comunale di Bologna. <P3-S3>  She was well-educated and spoke French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian as well as some English and she played the piano well. <P3-S4>  In 1908, she caused a sensation in New York when she danced in the last act of "Samson and Delilah" at the Manhattan Opera House where she had been engaged by Oscar Hammerstein I. <P3-S5>  It was a California heiress, Mrs. Jackson Gouraud, who came to her aid on reading about her plight and gave a fund-raising ball in her honour at Martin's, New York. <P3-S6>  Her dance included the participation of one of three snakes (with fangs removed) which were cared for by their own groom, Robert, whom she had engaged in addition to other servants who travelled with her. <P3-S7>  She owned several automobiles and amassed a fortune in jewellery. <P3-S8>  She had been surviving thus for a year by pawning her jewellery. <P3-S9>  The hostess wore a live python around her neck for the event. <P3-S10>  was an Italian dancer of Greek parentage. <P3-S11>  She was found ill and starving in a cheap boarding house in Notting Hill, London where she was being cared for by her seven-year-old son Gaeton. <P3-S12>  She came to regard dancing "en pointe" as "old-fashioned" and made her name doing reconstructions of ancient Greek dances in bare feet. <P3-S13>  She spent lavishly and by 1912, she was destitute. <P3-S14>  Later she portrayed Cleopatra and did an Egyptian dance with a live asp.
