Pointe Fittings

Finer Pointes provides truly personal, professional pointe fittings, to best ensure the safety and proper technical development of each dancer. We carry several brands of pointe shoes, including a selection of models carefully chosen to accommodate a full range of foot types. Each fitting involves focus on the dancer's foot anatomy, posture and placement, technical level and other needs, to choose the best possible pointe model and fit. (See Resources for more information about the importance of a proper fit.)

Owner Jenna Little is a highly sought-after pointe fitter, with over 20 years of experience. She combines extensive knowledge of dancewear and shoes with attention to individual dancers' anatomical and technical needs. Each additional fitter is trained personally by Jenna, including both detailed instruction and extensive hands-on demonstration.

Finer Pointes also provides professional fitting in dance shoes for other genres, including tap, jazz, modern, gymnastics and ballroom dance.
