To make this easier for our customers, we have added a number of technol- ogies and options to fully customize fit, look and even the function of the pointe shoe. 2 3 CLASSIC SHANK INNOVATIVE SHANK CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION Flexible and supportive shanks suitable for any Unique fully hand crafted technique level.

    Teacher’s Handbook 1 Edited by: Carol Meeder – Director of Arts Education February 2006 Cover Photo: Jennifer Langenstein – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Aaron Ingley – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Corps de Ballet Dancer Ric Evans – Photographer 2 Introduction Dear Educator, We have often thanked you, the academic community and educators of our children, for being partners with us in Arts Education. We have confirmed how the arts bring beauty, excitement, and insight into the experience of everyday living. Those of us who pursue the arts as the work of our lives would find the world a dark place without them. We have also seen, in a mirror image from the stage, how the arts bring light, joy, and sparkle into the eyes and the lives of children and adults in all walks of life. Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre strives not only to entertain but to demonstrate the significance and importance of presenting our art in the context of past history, present living, and vision for the future. In this quest we present traditional ballets based on classic stories revered for centuries, such as Coppelia and Cinderella; and contemporary ballets by artists who are living, working, and creating everyday, such as our jazz program Indigo In Motion and the premiers we have done to the music of Sting, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon. In this way we propel our art into the future, creating new classics that subsequent generations will call traditional. It is necessary to see and experience both, past and present. It enhances our life and stirs new ideas. We have to experience where we came from in order to develop a clear vision of where we want to go.

    Pre-Pointe Or Pointe Or Pointe Or Pointe Shoes

    Page 111 of 666 PrePre----PointePointe or Pointe Shoes Pre-Pointe shoes are the next step in advancing in ballet. These shoes prepare students for pointe work. Dancing on pointe creates the illusion of dancers floating across the stage. They can make a dancers lines look longer, which adds to the beauty of ballet. Pointe shoes and pre-pointe shoes need fit snug on the foot and are required to be properly sewn in order to keep the foot supported in the shoe. If the shoes are too loose the shoes can cause injury to the dancer, and the risk of not sewing one’s shoe properly can result in injury. We ask that students DON’T wear their shoes at home. How to Sew Your Pointe Shoes: Material List: Pre-Pointe Shoes or Pointe Shoes Needle Light Pink Thread Satin Ribbons Elastic Scissors Ribbons: 1. Cut the ribbons into four equal parts. Each shoe should have two ribbons. Page 222 of 666 2. Thread a needle.* To do this take the thread and cut a long strand. Put the thread through the eye of the needle and knot the ends of the thread to prevent the needle from sliding off. The knot will also help stop the thread from going all the way through the shoe. *Please note that this example is using colored thread for demonstration purposes only. Please use light pink thread ONLYONLY. 3. Fold the pre-pointe/pointe shoe’s heel over to find a good placement for the ribbons. Mark the placement with a pencil.
