I've changed my idea a little bit. I've decided to not have the model wear pointe shoes. I am just going to have the model completely nude. I don't want the entire body visible. I want to just highlight certain parts. I just learned a new lighting technique that is similar to "light painting". It is where the shutter is held open while light is painted onto and object (or in my case a model) with a wand or flashlight, and where ever the light is placed, that is what will be visible in the picture. When you are done painting the light you release the shutter. This can be done with other off camera lighting but, in my case I want the studio to be completely dark. So, I want to have a black background and only highlight certain parts or curves of the body. I practiced this technique the other day. Now I just need to find a model.
