Thank you for all helping finding my daughter's first pointe shoes. We got lots of advice how to break them in and get most wear out of them.
She has found these shoes to be a comfortable fit that offer her the right support to get right up enpointe

Bloch - Arise Leather Ballet Shoes
My daughter and friend went for our fist point shoe appointment and I have to say it was such a lovely experience. The girls had a great time (as did I). They are very knowledgeable and I'm so glad we went to Pose to get my daughters first set of shoes, and will certainly be going there for every subsequent pair as well! Thank you!
This was a wonderful experience. Thank you!
Bloch - Layla - Square Neck Open Back Tank Leotard
great quality and gorgeous design
We came to Pose.A for my daughters 1st pointe shoe fitting which was very exciting. The service was fantastic and my daughter loved the experience. Thank you
Great service as usual
Love this new style, so pretty and I can wear it every week in class
Fantastic service and fantastic shoes!
Love Freya x
I wish that I knew about this Ballet shop sooner (14 years). My daughter has just had a pointe fitting, what can I say the owner was so professional, helpful and very friendly. I will definitely come back to this shop in the future for my daughters Ballet items.
I am loving the Balance Lisse. These shoes seem to suit my feet very well, I can get right over the box and balance much better. They’re probably the best pair I’ve had so far (I’m an older adult dancer) and once they’re properly broken in I think I may have found my perfect shoe.
