Most ballerinas in our Conservatory begin training on pointe between the ages of 11 – 13. As they progress in their training, doing more difficult footwork and performing more frequently, their need for more pointe shoes also increases.
The average cost of a pair of pointe shoes is $100. Students training in our upper school should use an average of 15 pairs a year, but typically stretch usage of old shoes due to this exorbitant cost.
The high-cost of ballet training has historically made it unaffordable for everyday families. But the benefits of ballet training impact our entire community and fuel Collage’s commitment to making it more accessible for all.
Giving $100 ensures a pair of pointe shoes for a deserving scholarship student.
Giving $1,000 ensures shoes for a full academic year for a scholarship student.
