I got fitted for pointe shoes at Sonata Dance yesterday! Reminder NOT to wear little skirts for fitting because you have to be on a platform for the specialist to check your feet. I was also advised not to break in the shoes with my hands!

While looking up ways to break in pointe shoes, I came across this post that has really beautiful videos of dancers preparing for pointe work.
