No, you need to break in your pointe shoes yourself. Anaheim Ballet offers a video on breaking in pointe shoes. Just type Anaheim Ballet The Point, or just type in breaking in pointe shoes and videos should pop up based on that. Shutting your pointe shoes in a door helps. Good luck!

I wear Gaynors and they tend to be more expensive then other brands of pointe shoes. I'd say they range between the 80s and 90s but they last much longer and do not break. If you order them specially (i.e. longer vamp, double shank, etc.) they will cost more. I personally love my Gaynors (:
All? As in all the different brands? There are many many out there. Here are a few: Freed, Leo, Angelo Luzio, Russian Pointe, Grishko, Chacott, Bloch, Capezio, So Danca, Porselli, Gamba, Prima Soft, Sansha, Repetto, Fuzi, Gaynor Minden (consult your teacher about this one, as a lot of teachers love 'em or hate 'em), Principal's, and Eva's.
Ruth from "A Raisin in the Sun" can be described through songs like "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke, which reflects her hope for a better future amidst struggles. "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers captures her resilience and the importance of family support in tough times. Additionally, "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor resonates with her journey of personal strength and overcoming adversity. These songs collectively embody her challenges, aspirations, and determination.
You should try reading The Ballet Companion by Eliza Gaynor Minden. It has information on ballet's history, a glossary of terms, and lots of useful information on everything from doing a bun to auditioning and performing. What I expect would help the most, however, are the sections written on ballet movements like tendues, grande battements, and pirouettes. They have lots of pictures and give you really informative tips for each ballet movement!
