Pointe shoes are the tool of a ballerina’s trade, and make possible the sublime artistry and virtuosity you see on stage.
Each one of our ballerinas gets through 10 pairs of pointe shoes per month: as a company, we go through over 4,000 pairs each year. With the average pair costing £40, we spend £160,000 a year on pointe shoes.
Watch First Artist Stina Quagebeur talk about the importance of her pointe shoes, and consider donating to our Pointe Shoes Appeal here.
