Chris Hanna - Pointe Shoe Consultant

Chris Hanna - Pointe Shoe Consultant Professional fitting of pointe shoes. I have been fitting pointe shoes on the Gold Coast for almost 15 years.

I trained, many years ago, in all genres of dance, accidentally became a professional dancer, and also taught from an early age 'til my mid 30's. The passion for pointe shoes came about due to the constant purchases of pointe shoes for my daughter while she was in full time study, 40 pairs a year. It was our mission to find the best shoe, for her technical ability, and my bank balance. During this

quest there was no business or person that could shine any light into this issue, the general response was to try something else, with no further insight as to why. I have assisted students who subsequently moved on to schools and companies such as American Ballet Theatre, Royal Ballet School and Company, English National Ballet and School, ABS and AB, WAB and WAPPA,

Pointe shoes are high maintenance. New pairs are not only expensive, but time consuming. So it’s no surprise that many dancers try to extend the lifespan of each shoe. But did you know that dancing on dead shoes can increase your risk for a variety of injuries?
