Carlos Acosta explains why pointe shoes are so important to ballet dancers and how your support helps provide the shoes they need to perform.

Help keep our dancers on their toes

Swan Lake is one of ballet’s most demanding productions, particularly for the lower legs. Dancers go through countless pairs of pointe shoes during rehearsals and performances, often wearing through a couple of pairs in a single show. Your support helps provide the shoes they need to perform at their best, stay safe and bring this iconic ballet to life.
