Pointe Warm Up

Once your pointe shoes are on, here’s a little warm up for your feet! It’s healthy for your joints to warm up properly. Never skip warming up is my advice. Remember it’s also important that you use pointe shoes under the guidance of a ballet teacher and that proper correct standing in your pointe shoes is very important not just for beautiful technique but for the health of your body and to prevent injury. Wearing the “right'“ shoe for you and the right fitting shoe is also an essential part of your training.

For this Pointe Shoe warm up I highly recommend watching the video for all the information and recommendations on being mindful on proper tracking of the foot work, proper alignment and placement in the shoe and the importance of the support of all your muscles and technique.
