The BIG DAY is here! Level IV is a milestone level at PNB School that many students dream of reaching, as students begin pointe work. We share your excitement at getting those first pair of pointe shoes! We have a fantastic fitting opportunity; staff from Freed of London’s New York office are returning to PNB for our Level IV fittings! PNB Faculty will be at the fittings as all shoes must meet PNB School faculty approval before sewing.

Level IV Sewing Seminars

The first pointe class after Freed fittings will be an official sewing day for students. A list of required materials will be provided at your fitting.

Do not sew your shoes until the scheduled sewing day! Faculty must approve your shoes before sewing, and pointe shoes are to be worn only in class!

We know that this is a very exciting time for Level IV students, and we hope that any questions or concerns you may have will be answered at your fittings and during class time. Please contact the School if you have any further questions.
