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.
