It all depends on who the dancer is, how strong their feet are, what shoes they wear, and what parts they have in the show. I know personally I went throught 2 pairs a show but most people I know usually use one per show, It just depends on if you wear a softer shoe like Mirellas or Capezios or a harder shoe like Russian Pointes or Suffolks.

Pointe shoes (aka toe shoes) are shoes that we ballerinas wear to enhance our performance. Contrary to popular opinion, Pointe shoes are not made out of wood, but of paper mache. The shoes give the illusion that we are on our toes, while in reality the shoes are supporting our weight and our toes are being cushioned by padding.Pointe shoes are not comfortable, though, and many blisters, bunions, and foot injuries come from dancing "en Pointe."
