Is doing ballet barefoot bad?

I actually prefer ballet barefoot. Tights and shoes aren't holding your feet back from stretching out your foot all the way into a beautiful point. Also it gives your teacher a better chance to examine your feet and critique your foot work, and foot technique. Yes I guess if your teacher is pushing you hard it would hurt, but keep trying! Your teacher wants you to work up to your full potential. She only wants to help. If she says push through it, push through the pain... Good luck!
