“I had a pointe shoe fitting yesterday with Sandra who is an absolute gem. She fully listened to any and all of my requests and put me in probably the best shoe fit I’ve had so far. She made the experience so fun and was so friendly! 🫶”

Fantastic experience. My daughter had an appointment for her first pointe shoes fitting in Dance World in Ranelagh. Lots of time was taken to ensure the pointe shoes were the correct fit and suited my daughter’s foot. It was a lovely experience in a really enjoyable environment. I recommend Dance World Ranelagh without hesitation.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A FITTING?
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A FITTING?
Please wear convertible ballet tights or socks. When we fit pointe shoes we want to fit them in whatever you will actually wear them with to get the perfect fit.
Please bring any old pointes you have, your toe pads and any other accessories you use. It is important that we fit you in the most accurate way possible.
For first time fittings please talk to your teacher in advance and find out which toepads you need and whether they have any other requirements or preferences.
Try to cut your toenails before your appointment: you’d be surprised how painful it is to dance on too-long toe-nails. Ouch!

CAN I RETURN POINTE SHOES?
Please ensure that all pointe shoes are checked by your teacher before you sew on ribbons and elastics.
We are more than happy to re-fit and exchange pointe shoes once they are un-worn and ribbons have not been sewn on. Pointe shoes cannot be returned once ribbon and elastic has been sewn.
