Is there special pre point shoes?
Pre Pointe Shoes (aka Demi-Pointe shoes) are used to get students use to the feel of pointe shoes. They look like pointe shoes. They have a box, just like pointe shoes, but no shank. NO ONE should ever go on pointe while wearing pre pointe shoes because of the lack of support.

Reply:I have heard of dance academies where they take pointe shoes and tear out the shank. Students get used to dancing with the box of the pointe shoe, but they do not go en pointe because of the lack of support. Although I have never seen Capezio%26#039;s pre-pointe shoes in person, it would seem to be the same concept as pulling the shank out yourself. My only question would be concerning how to fit different feet if you only offer one box size?
Reply:I have been a dance teacher for many years and i too have never heard of them. On the other hand there are new inventions every day. I don%26#039;t know how pre point shoes could do anything, if you are not ready then you need to Waite.


There are pre-point classes where you use slippers and work you re way to point shoes,and there are beginner point shoes.


Good luck and don%26#039;t fall for any gimmicks.
