Demi Pointes Wear Moi Square

Demi Pointes Wear Moi Square

The quarter pointe is a wonderful way for a dancer to move from the Vesta or Pluto demi-pointes to one of the popular pointe styles of Wear Moi. This satin bootie is handmade using the "turned inside out" method and features evenly spaced pleats on the bottom front of the bootie. The quarter pointe has a leather sole and a light box at the toe, just like traditional pointe shoes. The most important thing to remember about a quarter pointe is that it has no cambrion, the most vital part of a pointe shoe for standing on the platform.

The most effective use of a quarter pointe is when it is part of the programme required by a school or conservatoire. Teachers can use this tool as part of the training process for pointe work. In general, they recommend the use of half-point to the bar and then quarter pointe for middle work, a year before the student moves on to "full" pointe. This allows the foot to get used to the feel of pointe. In addition, quarter pointe develops and strengthens the muscles in preparation for pointe work. Young dancers can also learn how to tie their ribbons. The quart de pointe is available with high quality pre-sewn cotton or satin ribbons, with no extra cost.
