Question

I have been on pointe for 2 years now and I am now ready for pointe shoes, but my mom can't afford any more dance stuff right now and I'd have to wait a few months. The problem is, my current pointe shoes 1. aren't fitting right any more (I think my foot type changed) 2. There almost dead! I need to make some money, and quick. Can anyone tell me how? Please! I need new pointe shoes! In 1 week I'll be going to a ballet intensive!!! Please answer this!

Answer 2

I have been dancing ballet for 13 years and on pointe for 5 years and when my pointe shoes are going dead i use something called shelac, you can buy it at the hardware store, it&#039;s about 10 or 15 dollars for a 1 litre tin. It&#039;s a furniture refinisher. you lush paint it on the inside of your pointe shoes and let it dry. Do about 3-5 coats it depends on how strong you want them and make sure you let each coat dry fully. when they start the become dead again you can just shelac them once more. I do this lots and it really works. If you want to take a look at the stuff go to the homedepot Canada website and in the search box type in shelac, it will show you what it is and looks like. Im not sure what it is called in america because i live in canada. I hope this helps!

Answer 3

i dont understand how you  can pay for alot of ballet classes and pointe classes and intensives but not for pointe shoes. Going to a ballet intensive with out pointe shoes is like going horseback riding without a horse.

i think that you shouldnt have signed up for the intensibe without the shoes! If you know what kind of shoes you need, you can probably order them off of amazon or maybe even ebay if you are really desperate
