Preparing for a pointe fitting
Before you come
- Be aware we will need to touch your feet and legs
- Make sure your toenails are not to long
- Make sure you have no blisters or skin damage
- Any verrucae are covered
Please
- Bring your old pointe shoes and padding or inserts if you have them
- Wear a leotard with a ballet skirt or shorts so we can see and feel your legs and you feel comfortable
- Wear convertible tights or ballet socks
We would like to know
- How old you are?
- Your level of ballet, have you been on pointe before?
- How many hours of ballet you do a week?
- Has your dance teacher said you can go on pointe?
- How much and what pointe preparation have you done?
- Have you had your second growth spurt?
