 Here are three possible examples.

  • From flatty ballet shoes into demi-pointe and then pointe

  • A dancer on pointe already, but has to be taken off pointe and re-educated and then put back onto pointe

  •  Working with an advanced dancer and making changes to the dancer’s shoes.

Part 3:
Gold Standard
