Hi Level IV Students! 

We hope you are having a good fall and enjoying your pointe classes. By now you are probably becoming more comfortable in your pointe shoes and some of you may even be ready for a second pair of shoes. We’ve made a short video for you with some tips for breaking in new pointe shoes, using jet glue to prolong the life of your shoes, and recognizing when pointe shoes are dead and need to be replaced. 

We filmed this video on our day to dress up for Halloween last year, so please excuse the glitter and accessories.

We hope this video is helpful as you’re breaking in your next pair of pointe shoes and please send us any questions you have!

Best, 

Your level VIII Mentors
