ANNOUNCING THE POINTE SHOE SUMMIT IN SINGAPORE 2026

Advancing the World of Pointe Through Innovation & Education.

Our Purpose

The Pointe Shoe Summit ( PSS ) is an annual event created to elevate the education, safety, and artistry of dancers training in pointe work. Our mission is to bring together dancers, teachers, and dance health professionals to strengthen understanding of foot health, alignment, and the science behind pointe shoes. We are driven by a commitment to prioritising dancer wellbeing, promoting informed training practices, and empowering the dance community with knowledge that supports confidence and longevity in dance.

Announcing the 2026 Pointe Shoe Summit in Singapore

3-Day Pointe Shoe Summit: Upcoming Schedule at Singapore Ballet 2026

August 5 – August 7

Day 1:
Full Day Session

Building the Foundation

With Esther Juon and the PSS Team

We begin by developing clear body awareness, foot control, and alignment.

Dancers explore both non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing mechanics, learning how ankle stability, intrinsic strength, and turnout function together.

Day 2:
Full Day Session

Preparing The Body For Pointe

With Esther Juon and the PSS Team

Day Two focuses on pointe readiness: understanding how to support the body safely and effectively once pointe shoes are introduced.

We take the foundational work from Day One and apply it, observing how strength, alignment, and control translate into the shoe.

Day 3:
Morning Session

All Things Pointe

With Rhea Lwin and Camila Uribe

Day Three is a hands-on exploration of the pointe shoe itself.

We look closely at shoe design, construction, and brand differences, gaining clarity around how different shoes support different feet.

Day 3:
Afternoon Session

Methods for Young Dancers

With Michelle Deschamps

This session focuses on the importance of establishing correct technique and alignment from the earliest stages.

Michelle guides us through a case study of working with young dancers, demonstrating how early foundational training leads to confident, well-prepared progression into pre-pointe work.
