Half term has started amazingly for one of our students today! Her first pair of pointe shoes 🥰🩰✨ Congratulations! 🤩🙌

Getting your first pair of pointe shoes can be one of the most exciting days in a dancer’s life. Beyond the excitement, there is also lots of preparation when it comes to your first pointe shoe fitting. It’s important to be fitted properly, as the right pointe shoe can help you to reach your full potential as a dancer 🙏🩰✨
