🩰 Congratulations to our newest pointe dancer! We are excited to celebrate another Dance Solutions dancer who has officially passed our Pointe Shoe Readiness Exam!
At Dance Solutions, earning your pointe shoes requires much more than reaching a certain age. Our rigorous readiness system was created by our director, Natasha Jade , drawing from her decades of experience as a professional ballet dancer, certified instructor, national master teacher, convention instructor, competition adjudicator, and educator who has taught dancers virtually across 25+ countries.
Our dancers are also responsible for sewing their own pointe shoes, which builds ownership, maturity, pride, and a deeper understanding of the tool they’ve worked so hard to earn.
A huge thank you to Bobby's Dancewear for another wonderful fitting experience and for taking such great care of our dancers. 🤍

Our Pointe Shoe Readiness Handbook & KIT is available!
It walks dancers, parents, and educators through our readiness process and includes strengthening exercises, tips, pointe shoe anatomy, sewing instructions, and more. Our handbooks are being used in dozens of studios across the world!
