We will have a Thank You post tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m with the last winner’s username. If you win you will be asked to message us on Tumblr and we will provide further instructions.

Pointe shoes last up to 8 hours, sometimes even less! The pairs that we are giving away have been worn by our dancers in rehearsal or in Company class.

Heather Ogden, Jillian Vanstone, Xiao Nan Yu, First Soloist Elena Lobsanova and Second Soloist Jenna Savella have been kind enough to give them away to five lucky fans. The pointe shoes will be mailed randomly to the winning participants.
