Add targeted cushioning to your dance preparation with Tendu Hot Spot Dots. These clear adhesive pads sit around small rubbing or pressure spots where shoes contact the feet or heels. Supplied as six reusable dots, they offer individual placement for the areas that need a little extra attention.

Best For: Local cushioning • Small dance shoe rubbing spots • Feet and heels • Individually checked pointe shoe padding

Why Dancers Choose Tendu Hot Spot Dots

• Targeted placement: Position each dot around a small contact point rather than adding padding across a larger area.
• Ring-shaped cushioning: The pad surrounds the chosen spot, with an open centre for focused positioning.
• Clear adhesive design: The adhesive surface helps hold the dot in place, while the transparent finish stays discreet.
• Six reusable dots: A compact sheet is easy to keep with your dance essentials, with hand-wash care between uses.

Tendu Hot Spot Dots – Placement & Shoe Fit

Apply to clean, dry, intact skin. Position the centre of the ring over the small area you want to cushion around, then gently press the surrounding pad into place. Put on your dance shoes and check that the dot sits comfortably.

For pointe work, try the dot alongside your usual toe pads and other accessories. The complete padding arrangement should leave enough space inside the shoe without crowding the foot.

If the same area keeps rubbing, ask your fitter to review the contact point and footwear fit. These dots provide local cushioning; recurring rubbing deserves a closer look at how the shoe sits.

Caring for Your Tendu Hot Spot Dots

Hand wash when needed and allow the dots to dry fully before reuse. Their small size makes them easy to keep alongside your other preparation essentials for class and rehearsal.

Dance World Tip: Keep the sheet in its original packaging inside your dance bag. This helps protect the adhesive surfaces from fluff and makes the small pads easier to find before class.

Pack size: Six individual dots on one sheet. Use only the dots needed for your chosen areas.

1. Start with clean, dry, intact skin.
2. Peel a dot from its backing sheet.
3. Position the centre of the ring over the small hot spot, with the surrounding cushion resting on the skin around it.
4. Gently press the adhesive surface into place.

Check placement with your usual padding when using the dots for pointe work. Remove the pad if it causes irritation or adds uncomfortable pressure.

Wash by hand with mild detergent and leave to dry completely, as directed on the packaging. Rinse thoroughly before air drying. Keep the adhesive surfaces free from dust and fluff, and store clean, dry dots in their protective packaging. Replace a dot if it becomes damaged or no longer stays securely in position.
