Health & Safety > Warning

Dancing is good for you - it's great for the body, the mind and the spirit. However, dancing and especially dancing en pointe has an inherent risk of injury. Use common sense. No shoe can ever make dancing easy, painless or risk-free. Do not attempt to dance on your toes or to use pointe shoes until a qualified ballet teacher determines that you have sufficient strength and technique. Wear pointe shoes only in a proper dance studio under a teacher's supervision. Never use a dancing shoe that is not in good condition.

Happy, Healthy Dancing!
