Ep. 47 - Step Into Our Pointe Shoes! How We Prepare Them & What We Put Inside!
Jan 20, 2025 Season 1 Episode 47
Ballet for All & The Busy Bunhead

Pointe shoes are a bit like snowflakes - no two pairs are the same! In this episode, we're spilling the tea on how we each prepare our shoes and what we put inside them. As an amateur (Hannah) and a professional (Yelena), our feet are super different and so are the methods we use to prepare and comfortably wear our shoes. So if you're looking for suggestions (or you're just a pointe-shoe lover like us) this episode is for you! Let's get into it... And don't forget to show us how you prepare your shoes over on Instagram.  ◡̈
