My Pointe Shoe Routine: breaking in, sewing, darning, cutting, bending 🩰🧵🪡

It’s officially Nutcracker season — which means pointe shoe prep is real. 🧵🩰
In this video, we’re taking you behind the scenes as we sew, darn, break in, bend, and prep our pointe shoes for rehearsals and performances. From ribbons and elastics to box darning to cutting the shank — here’s exactly what we do to get our shoes stage-ready.

Nutcracker is full of long rehearsals, quick changes, snow, waltz, and so much stage time, so having shoes that feel just right is everything.

Grab your pointe shoes (or cocoa 😌) and come hang out with us while we stitch, chat, and get ready for the holiday magic. 🎄✨
