Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s classic fairy tale, The Red Shoes<\/em> tells the story of a young woman whose desire is to become a leading dancer. Victoria Page (played by prima ballerina Moira Shearer) secures a transformative role at the Ballet Lermontov, that of a girl beguiled by a pair of magic red slippers.<\/p>\n

Gradually, the boundaries between fact and fiction blur as Page\u2019s life intertwines with the feverish part she dances.<\/p>\n
