Pointe shoes are so unique – both to the art form and to each individual dancer. It can be one of the most exciting parts in a young dancers training, but along with that excitement comes lots of questions! This workshop provides the opportunity for aspiring dancers to hear directly from an experienced professional dancer exactly what a dancer goes through to have the best pointe. We will talk about everything that goes in to training on pointe – the muscles, the lines, the fatigue, the injuries and more!

How do you:
o Choose the brand, style, size, width, shank, vamp?
o Adjust your shoes throughout your training and a career?
o Decide where to sew ribbons and elastics
o Darn your shoes and why you would
o Make your shoes last longer?
o Manage blisters, toe nails, cracked heels and more?
o Decide what to wear inside your shoes? Tape, ouch pouch, spacers, etc.
