The only book of its kind, rewritten throughout, takes the mystery
out of a confusing field. Dancers and students quickly benefit from
the most current research - offering the latest information on
hundreds of shoe designs, products and suppliers. The fundamentals
of buying, preparing, and wearing pointe shoes are presented,
including a detailed list of the many possible characteristics of
each shoe. In discussing pointe shoe readiness, we present an array
of contemporary views about when students should go on pointe -
then, the way major ballet schools integrate pointe work into their
classes, with in-depth opinions from David Howard, Suki Schorer and
Steven Wistrich, among others. We take an intensive look at
pointe-related injuries to the foot and ankle, their remedies,
therapies, and exercises and medical and therapy providers. An
understanding of the relationship between a ballerina and her shoes
is gained by listening to the greatest dancers - like Paloma
Herrera, Jenifer Ringer, Gillian Murphy and Evelyn Cisneros - talk
about how they found the perfect fit and the joy of dancing on
pointe.
"Part I: Basic Pointe Work: Beginner - Low Intermediate" is a
redesigned, updated and expanded version of Thalia Mara's "Fourth
Steps in Ballet: On Your Toes! Basic Pointe Work". Its purpose is
to present a clear and simple exposition of beginner-low
intermediate pointe work, while inspiring students towards higher
achievements. "Part II: A Look at the USA International Ballet
Competition" goes beyond the basics by providing information about
preparation for competition. A history of the USA International
Ballet Competition is given, along with interviews with competition
winners who have gone on to professional careers. The section is
intended to offer helpful advice from those who have "been there",
and to encourage students to think about their future as dancers.
The book concludes with a biography of Thalia Mara, detailing her
many achievements as performer, teacher and writer.
