- As a professional Pointe Shoe Fitter I would always recommend that a dancer starts out her Pointe journey by staring with Demi-Pointe /soft blocks.
- A Demi-Pointe shoe is really useful for a number of reasons;
- It helps to improve strength in both the foot(intrinsic) muscles and also the ankle muscles
- It is really useful to help the foot understand how to work in a confined space.
- It helps the dancer to get used to working in a shoe that has a “lip” on the sole of the shoe.
