ALL ABOUT POINTE

THIS HIKU DECK WILL TELL YOU,

• If you are ready for pointe
• The different kinds of shoes and how to get the best fit
• How to sew the shoes
• And more.....

WHEN DO YOU GO ONTO TO POINTE?

• First your teacher has to say that you are ready. For you to be ready your ankles must be strong enough for you to hold yourself up.
• Then you have to be committed to doing it because it takes a lot of work and you are at high risk for injuries. You might have to take at least two classes a week for pointe and you may have to take more.

WHAT SHOES ARE BEST FOR ME?

• There are many different brands of pointe shoes. To find the perfect fit I recommend going to a store and trying on more than at least two to try and find the perfect fit.
• Some of the well know brands are Bloch, Hanna, European Balance, and many more.

HOW TO SEW THE SHOES

• So, now you have gotten the shoes and You need to sew them.
• What you need to do is to go to your teacher and ask them the way that they want the shoes sewn. Remember, you need to get your teacher to approve the shoes before you sew them because the company will not take them back if you have marked them up.

DANCING ON POINTE

• So, now you have gotten you shoes and are in at home, probably trying them on after your teacher approved them.
• But, you want to stay safe and not do anything that is to complex.
• Remember, pointe is fun but you need to stay safe.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU STAY ON POINTE.

• First, if you want to have a shank that is easy to dance on, you want to break them in. Some ways to do this is it slam them in a door,hit them on the floor, take out the inside shank, hit the box with a hammer, and I think you get the idea.
• So, you are working on turns and you keep falling off your pointe. What do you do? You can take the fabric off the top, or were you go on pointe, to make better friction therefore you stay on your pointe.
• Remember, your teacher must be okay with you doing this to your shoes.

I hope that you have fun with your new pointe shoes, but remember. You need to stay safe.

So stay safe and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!
