Pointe
At Dance Box we take our time with the delicate process of fitting a pointe shoe. We ask that you please make an appointment to see us for your pointe shoe fitting. An appointment allows us to ensure that one of our experienced fitters is available and that you receive the best service and overall experience.
Our pointe shoe fittings typically take place at our Coquitlam location. Dance Box Coquitlam does take walk-in appointments but we do recommend calling first to ensure we have your specific shoe and a fitter available to help you. First Pairs must call to book an appointment. Langley location is by appointment only.
To book an appointment, please call us at either location and provide us with the following information.
-
Your name, phone number, and the day you wish to see us
-
The name of your dance school
-
How many pairs of pointe shoes you have worn in the past
-
Are you allowed to wear padding in the shoes? If yes, what kind?
