Pointe Shoe Fittings – A discussion with the New York City Ballet’s Pointe Shoe Supervisor
At Dance Education Canada, we care about providing dance educators and studio owners with the tools they need to lead their dancers confidently and safely throughout their years of training. Current discussions surrounding dance injury and dance injury prevention are plentiful, but when do we start looking at the training tools, the equipment and the footwear that could be contributing to injuries when used improperly. So today, we will discuss footwear, pointe shoes to be exact. During today's education about appropriate footwear and fittings, we will talk all things pointe shoes including the factors that go into choosing a pointe shoe and how to identify signs of an ill-fitting pointe shoe. Speaking with us today about pointe shoes is the Coordinator of Pointe Shoes at the New York City Ballet Ms. Linette Roe.
GUEST: Linnette (Hitchin) Roe was a Principal Dancer for the pacific northwest ballet. In her over twelve years with the company, she toured all over the world from New York to London, Scotland and Melbourne, working with many renowned choreographers. Currently, she holds the position of Shoe Supervisor for the New York City Ballet. She enjoys sharing her experience and knowledge by teaching and training the next generation of dancers.
