POINTE SHOE FUND
Made by hand with materials such as satin, glue, and leather, pointe shoes are constructed with extreme precision. One pair of pointe shoes can cost between $75 and $100. They are designed to break down and mold to the foot of a dancer allowing for those breathtaking moments we see on stage during BNT performances.
But they don’t last long. Some pairs only last a single performance; others at most, one week of rehearsals. That’s why each dancer spends nearly $2000 on pointe shoes each year.
From Sugar Plums extraordinary bourrées in The Nutcracker where she effortlessly glides across the stage, to the fierce execution required during the Kitri Variation during Don Quixote, your tax-deductible donation will keep BNT's dancers gracefully on their toes.
