Let’s talk about Frankensteining 🧵🩰
It’s a super common misconception that extra fabric at the heel means your pointe shoes don’t fit. In reality, depending on your foot shape or the cut of the shoe, a little bagging can just happen when you rise up on pointe.
Don’t worry—there’s an easy hack to fix it! 🛡️ We’re sharing step-by-step tutorial on how to Frankenstein your shoes for a clean, streamlined look.
If you’re struggling with your fit, we’re here to help. Reach out in the comments, shoot us a DM, or pop into the store to chat with one of our fitters!

Ever wonder what it takes to balance the artistry and the "business" of dance? Our amazing Stage Center Ambassador, Simeon, is taking us behind the scenes of his marathon schedule!
From the studio to the library, here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of a Baldwin Wallace student, dancer, actor, extraordinaire:
He starts the day with jazz class, dance history (it’s more important than you think!) and grant proposal writing.
Next up is dinner and rehearsal for Fantasticks (which Simeon performed in this week!)
Whether he’s hitting a grand jeté or hitting "send" on a proposal, Simeon stays geared up with the best from Stage Center.
