Capezio's versatile unisex Fizzion Dance Shoe manages to balance out the solid look of a dance trainer but feels like you are wearing only a pair of socks!

Capezio fans who love the FootUndeez will definately love the padded suede patches on the ball of foot and on the heel of the Fizzion which offer comfort and shock absorption. ExoArmor duet suede sole patches enhance articulation and provide traction.

The Capezio Fizzion is constructed from breathable Polyester/Lycra, sheep skin leather upper, and a plush elastic topline.The material on the sole is a strech fabric that acts as a second skin and stays with your foot as the dancer rolls right through from a pointe to a flex, the Fizzion hugs your foot and heightens your natural movement.

Instead of streamlining the shoe, the Capezio Fizzion has been designed with straps and lace to offer each dancer their own unique and individual style that can be customise to your fit preference using the interchangeable strap and lacing system which can be secured in several ways to wrap the angle, provide instep support, or arch support with heel security- there are at least 9 different ways to configure the strap & laces!

This is a good shoe choice for professional dancers and serious dance students who want a barefoot feel. The sizes tend to run a little small and the shoes are made to fit like a tight sock so if your feet fall between sizes then it would probably be best to choose the larger size.

Oscar winning director Danny Boyle is specifically searching for talented Pointe trained dancers to perform on this world stage.

Along with stylish practice wear, a dancers best friend if often their shoes – Something Sir Paul McCartney knows all about after spending many hours with the New York City Ballet who are performing the ballet Sir Paul has written himself! The world premier of ‘Oceans Kingdom’ took place at the home of the New York City Ballet and tells the story of a princess called Honorata who is snatched by an evil queen before being reunited with her love.

Not only did the ex Beatle write the Ballet, he also had creative input with the choreography and it was during rehearsals he witnessed the grueling nature of a dancers profession and the ‘occupational hazards’ that are involved. Dancers must take extra care of their feet and choosing the right fitting shoes and footwear accessories will help a lot in reducing injuries. For both beginners and advanced dancers alike, the range of Pointe shoes Dancewear Central stock enables dancers to match the characteristics of each Pointe shoe with their particular foot shape, level of experience and requirements whether for class or a performance.

Warming up correctly by using a resistance band can help dancers of all levels to strengthen specific areas of the body. The Bunheads exercise band can help with Pointe work preparation and can assist with injury recovery. It’s must have dance bag accessory available in 3 resistance strengths. The Bunheads resistance exercise bands are also ideal for young dancers preparing for Pointe work and a The Super Heavy Weight is great for male dancers too.

Footwear accessories such as the Bunheads Jelly Tips are especially useful for use with Pointe shoes. The inside is coated with gel to help alleviate the pressure that can cause bruised toenails and can be cut to size to create a perfectly seamless toe sock. Whist a A Tendu Toe Spreader is solid gel spreader used to help keep the big toe joint straight in the Pointe shoe and can be worn when there is a gap between the big toe and 2nd toe.

For Pointe work in the studio or on stage ballet dancers often use rosin on their Pointe shoes. Rosin has a strong friction-increasing capacity which makes it suitable for using to increase grip and control when dancing on Pointe.

As Sir Paul McCartney’s ballet dancers and the lucky Pointe work performers at the Olympics will know, foot injuries are part of the job, but they can be reduced by having the correct fitting shoes and accessories to help alleviate the risk of injury and future foot problems.
