THE POINTE BOOK - SECOND EDITION

Dancers benefit from the authors’ current research that offers the most recent information on hundreds of contemporary designs, materials, products, and suppliers.  It illuminates the shoe making process and gives advise on how to best fit, care for, and custom order shoes.  The basics of pointe readiness, pointe technique, pointe related injuries and remedies, different pointe methods, and the history of pointe are discussed.  A pointe class syllabus is provided for teachers and students.

In the last chapter twelve prominent ballerinas talk about their shoes, how they found the perfect fit, and the joy of dancing on pointe.
