What supplies do you need if you're beginning to dance en pointe?
First of all you need pointe shoes. It's best to get them fit by a professional. Most dance shops sell pointe shoes and they have trained employees to help you out. If you have bunions it is a good idea to get spacer to put between your big toe. You also need some kind of padding. Ask the person fitting you. Bunheads has a lot of good solutions. You need ribbons and elastics. Again you can ask the person fitting you about how to sew them. Your dance instructor will teach you how to tie them. You should keep Band-Aids in your dance bag because you are going to get a lot of blisters! Have fun en pointe! Take it slow...

Where do you sew elastic on pointe shoes?
You sew the elastic about an inch or two apart in the heel of the shoe. It should be cut and measured around your ankle ahead of time so you know it won't be too tight or too loose.H______________________________________________________________________One Elastic Band:1) Fold the back of your pointe shoe down.2) Mark the place where the back of the pointe shoe falls.3) Take your elastic and place it at an angle, right where you marked.4) Stretch the elastic to the other side, where your other marking is.5) Sew the elastic in place with enough "extra" on each side (this will keep the back of the shoe on your heel).Two Elastic Bands (Crisscrossed):1) Place the pointe shoe on your foot.2) About 1-1.5 inches from the heel, sew one end of the band.3) Stretch the elastic across the top of the foot to a place on the shoe a little closer to the toes (about 2-2.5 inches from the heel).4) Sew the end of the elastic there.5) Repeat on the other side, starting at the end on the back and moving it forward.6) It should look like an "X" on the top of your foot.
