Pointers on Pointe

Pointe shoes enable ballet dancers to stand upright on their toes whilst dancing. This is not a natural human endevour and requires training, strength and good fitting. There are no absolutes but here are a few probables:-

Earliest start age is around the twelth birthday.
Point shoes do not contain a wooden block - it is built up from layers of hessian; paper and glue.
Only shoes made in this way should be worn by students.
Flat feet / poor pointing requires short vamps.
High arches require deep vamps / wing blocks.
Toes should be flat and side by side; but pressure should be felt from the sides of the block.
The big toe should touch the end of the block but should not press against it.
When on pointe there should be a quarter of an inch spare at the heel; and the sole of the shoe should align with the foot.
If inserts must be worn they should be as thin as possible.
Large soft inserts do not encourage good stance and often cause problems later.
The wearing of pointe shoes leads to problems if not accompanied by posture training and adaquate strength. Do not rush to see your child dancing on Pointe.

Everyone is welcome at a friendly and caring ISTD approved dance centre. We try to maintain this website as accurately as we can but please phone first to avoid disappointment. We are very friendly and will be pleased to help you without obligation.
