Pointe shoes are so unique – both to the art form and to each individual dancer. 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!
How Do You:
- Choose shoe brand, style, size, width, shank, vamp?
- Adjust your shoes throughout your training and a career?
- Decide where to sew ribbons and elastics?
- Darn your shoes and why would you?
- Make your shoes last longer?
- Manage blisters, toe nails, cracked heels and more?
- Decide what to wear inside your shoes? Tape, ouch pouch, spacers etc.
Plus we will talk about training on pointe – the muscles, the lines, the fatigue, the injuries and more.
