A dancer’s relationship with their shoes is a special one. Ballet slippers allow them to grip the floor, rise to new heights and transcend the ordinary.
The company goes through 7,500 pairs of custom-made shoes every year, and a perfect fit is essential. In the Pointe Shoe Room, among dizzying rows of pink, pearl and russet slippers, our Artistic Coordinator makes sure every dancer has happy feet.
