The classical danceBallet is a demanding yet graceful art that combines technique, strength and finesse. This discipline, defined by precise and elegant movements, is based on codified positions, jumps and arabesques.
Ballet dancers convey emotions through their movements, while striving for technical and aesthetic perfection. It's an art that requires years of hard work and dedication, but in return offers the chance to create unforgettable moments of grace and beauty on stage.
Pointe shoes are ballet shoes specially designed to enable dancers to dancing on tiptoe. They offer many benefits to dancers, including strengthening the muscles of the feet and ankles. By using pointe shoes, dancers can improve their posture, balance and technique. Pointe shoes also enable dancers to achieve a higher level of grace and elegance when performing on stage.
To practise pointe dancing, we advise dancers to buy a list of essential accessories to ensure their comfort. This list includes satin ribbons, elastics, gel pointe protectors and sewing accessories for maintaining pointe shoes.
It's important to check the condition of your accessories regularly and replace them as soon as they show signs of wear. By investing in quality accessories, dancers can extend the life of their pointe shoes. What's more, they can improve their ballet performance.
There are several types of nail available on the market, manufactured by well-known brands such as Gaynor Minden and Capezio.
Dancers should choose the pointe shoes that best suit their level of practice and their needs. Ballet pointe shoes should be neither too large nor too small, to avoid injury. They should fit the dancer's foot perfectly.
To make sure they're right for you, we recommend you try them out and check the following points:
First of all, stand upright, your toes should be flat in the box and aligned and should lightly touch the tip of the shoe;
Next, lift your feet on pointe. There should be a maximum of 0.5cm at the back of the heel;
The dancer must be able to mount en pointe easily and on the entire platform.
There are several points to pay particular attention to: the shoe size, the hardness of the sole, the width of the box, the shape of the foot and the length of the upper. It's also important to take into account the strength of the muscles in the feet and the level of practice. Pointe shoes for beginners are not the same as those for more advanced dancers.

In the course of a dancer's life, it is normal to have to change ballet pointe shoes. This can happen when the size no longer fits, particularly for growing children, or when the cambrion wears out and the foot no longer has the necessary support, or when the box is damaged.
Cross elastics are an essential accessory for dancers. These elastics keep the pointe shoes in place on the feet during movements and jumps. By securing the box and vamp of the pointe shoes, cross elastics ensure a better fit and avoid the risk of injury. It is essential to choose quality elastics and adjust them correctly to ensure optimum comfort when dancing on pointe.
To keep your pointe shoes as long as possible, take good care of them! Start by removing the tips from inside your pointe shoes after each dance class. Then leave them to dry in the open air. Finally, we recommend that you have two pairs of pointe shoes so that you can alternate between them for the more regular dancers.
To prevent injury and keep your feet healthy, it's essential to pay special attention to the care of your toes. Dancers should keep their toenails short and clean to avoid uncomfortable rubbing. They can also use gel toe protectors to absorb shocks and prevent blisters from forming.
