When is a dancer ready to get their pointe shoes? ✨🩰
Starting pointe is exciting, but it’s also one of the highest-risk transitions in ballet training.
Pointe readiness is about strength and control NOT just age, experience or enthusiasm.
Our best tip: Consult a dance podiatrist in the 12months prior to doing your pointe assessment so you’re prepared and ready for success!
✨✨✨
At Performance Podiatry, we:
🔎Help dancers prepare for their pointe assessments in our ‘Pointe Assessment Preparation’ appointments
🔎Assess dancers’ pointe readiness in our ‘Pointe Assessment’ appointments
🔎Diagnose and manage foot and ankle injuries in dancers of all ages and experience levels in our ‘Dance Podiatry Consultation’ appointments
If pointe has been mentioned by your child’s teacher, a pre-pointe assessment can give clarity and peace of mind before investing in shoes.
