How much is 9 pairs of ballet shoes?

For pointe shoes, you also need toe pads and toe seperations, and that comes to about sixty dollars or more. The canvas pre-pointe shoes are usually around thirty dollars. Be aware that you have to sew the straps of the pre-pointe shoes. Normal leather ballet shoes can be from fifteen dollars or less to thirty dollars or more.


Is pointe ballet dangerous?

yes point ballet is dangerous cause if you do something wrong in point shoes you can break you ankle !!!!!!!!!!!! Dancing en pointe can be dangerous if you try without the sufficient training. You usually start dancing en pointe after about 5 or 6 years of ballet training (this depends on how many lessons you have per week), and you must be 11 years old or older. When you are under 11 your bones are still growing and you could permanantly damage them. Your pointe shoes need to be carefully fitted, and you must be taught to tie the ribbons correctly, and sew on new ribbons. Your ballet teacher will carefully and slowly teach you to dance on your toes, and you must follow her instructions perfectly. At first you will probably only be allowed to dance en pointe under her careful supervision. If you follow instructions, and don't take risks you will be fine. It is said though that ballet dancers sometimes have problems with their feet (especially ankles and toes) later in life.

How do you put the ribions on pointe toe ballet shoes?

To put ribbons on pointe shoes you first need to get the ribbons then make sure you have two even ones other wise it won't work as well. Next to insure that the ends don't fray you can either put clear finger nail polish on the end or burn the end of the ribbons. Next you try to fold the end once so they don't fall off as easily. Lastly you sew them to the inside middle seam of your pointe shoes, try not to put your needle through the satin on the outside. Oh and try to make sure you sew the ribbons glossy side out.

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...


Im having problems with your soft pointe shoes. I know how to fold the ribbon and then sew it on. But do i fold the ribbon to the left or to the right?
