Pointe Shoe Fittings
The fit of your point shoes is extremely important. A fitting can take anywhere from 20-45 minutes. There are many factors involved in fitting pointe shoes. We will try on a variety of pointe shoes after examining the following aspects of your feet: shape of foot (width of ball, size of heel, length of toes, height of instep). We highly recommend you schedule a point shoe fitting.

Special Make-up Pointe Shoes are also available. There is a $15.00 additional charge – allow 10-12 weeks for delivery.

Serenade - The Serenade pointe shoe has a wide platform and a narrow heel. This shoe is good for dancers with square-shaped toes. This also helps lateral balance and assists dancers who are inclined to "sickle" or fall off pointe sideways. $53.99

Sonata - The Sonata has a tapered heel for a snug fit. The platform is as wide as Serenade but taller which makes it a good balancing shoe. The box is slightly shorter, to allow for an easier demi-pointe. The box also contains a cushion within the pleats to cut down on noise and a sponge inside the toe at the platform for extra comfort and protection. $54.99

Suprima - The Suprima pointe shoe has a streamline shape and is suited to a dancer with a narrow foot. This shoe has the smallest platform and the most tapered box of all the Bloch pointe shoes and fits snugly through the heel. $54.99
