What is really cool about my first pair of pointe shoes (Repetto brand) is that my Grandpa John bought them for me. He died two years ago with pancreatic cancer and now I have those pointe shoes as well as many other things, to remember him by.

Pointe Shoes
I just hung my 9th pair of pointe shoes up to rest. Including the two pairs I'm currently wearing, I have used 11 pairs of pointe shoes. That is nothing compared to professionals and even some of my older ballet friends. I read in Pointe Magazine once that Yuan Yuan Tan from the San Francisco ballet goes through 4 or more pairs in a performance week, and that's like every week!
