>Super! Dancing myself, I have seen and read many books on the subject of
ballet, but this book I have virtually devoured. I believe that most of
the tips are most helpful when buying shoes and then properly caring for
them, and, of course, when it comes to dancing itself. It is a very
practical book with many tips relating to pointe shoes, based on expertise
and loving attention to the most important “tool” a dancer has got. Very
recommendable, indeed!<

successful First Ballet Soloist at Berlin’s Staatsoper Unter den Linden

 > It
is really wonderful that it has been possible at long last to create such
an extraordinarily vivid and practicable guide for our profession. One has
got the immediate feeling that this book has been written by a person, who
knows exactly where the problems for us dancers lie, and what we deem as
important. In particular, I appreciate the agreeably light-handed and
cheerful style of the book. The layout, the wealth of illustrations, the
artful paintings, the colourfulness and not least the clear structuring of
the provided tips made reading the book a real pleasure for me. Personally
for me, too, my pointe shoes are bearable only if they almost “merge” with
my feet and become a “second skin”, as the authoress Angela Reinhardt
wrote so aptly. With a clear conscience I can recommend the book with all
my heart to beginners, students, professional dancers and not least all
dance pedagogues.<
Many thanks for this beautiful book – yours Nadja Saidakova
