Getting your first pair of pointe shoes is one of the most exciting milestones in a dancer’s training. But too often, dancers are left wondering Am I actually ready? What should I be strengthening? What am I missing?
Pointe requires strength, stability, mobility, control, and understanding to safely support their bodies in pointe shoes. Beginning before the body is adequately prepared can contribute to poor habits, pain, and potentially preventable injuries.
The Pointe Shoe Readiness Kit by Miss Natasha Jade was created to take the guesswork out of preparing for pointe. It gives dancers a clear way to assess their readiness, identify areas that need improvement, and use targeted exercises and tools to become stronger and more prepared.
What’s Included
* Pointe Shoe Readiness Handbook
* Balance Disc for ankle stability, balance and control
* Resistance Band for targeted foot and ankle strengthening
* Toe Strengthener for intrinsic foot and toe strength
* Foot Roller for mobility and recovery
* Dance Solutions Curated Drawstring Bag to keep everything together
Inside the Pointe Shoe Handbook
The handbook includes a Pointe Shoe Readiness Test, an Educator Readiness Exam, targeted exercises based on areas of weakness, pointe shoe anatomy, a step-by-step pointe shoe sewing tutorial, and a Certificate of Completion for dancers who successfully pass their assessment.
Who Is It For?
Designed primarily for dancers ages 7–14 who are working toward their first pair of pointe shoes or are new to pointe. Dancers outside this age range can absolutely benefit—the kit is based on stage of training rather than age alone.
Know what to strengthen. Know what to improve. Know when you’re ready.
Prepare. Strengthen. Progress.
