The Royal Ballet from the perspective of a pointe shoe (Go-Pro)

Footwear is essential to ballet, enabling our dancers to give their best performances.Combined with the character shoes, elastic, ribbons and detailing relevant to each production, the total cost for footwear is over £250,000 a year.

It follows films from previous Seasons campaigns, focusing on how the shoes are made, and how dancers prepare footwear for the stage.
