Awesome tips, I always had a heart attack changing from character shoes to pointe shoes with just snow pas in between!

[@DancewithmaryNYC]

Thank you, I am so glad you liked the information.

Just in time for Nutcracker - by using Velcro you can get in and out of pointe shoe ribbons fast for backstage quick changes. Shop this episode in my Amazon store amzn.to/3nIGdpA #ad

It is a great tip and time saver, but do you see any pointe dancing conditions or working of the foot whereby a dancer may be better off with a traditional knot to secure her pointe shoe ribbons?? Like under some situation whereby the Velcro could possibly pull apart or a sticky back pop off when on-pointe? I am thinking about sweaty ribbons or like fast repetitive jumps or a really quick rise onto pointe or combination there of?? Any possible foot work that should be avoided and not chance having a "Velcro malfunction" ?

[@DancewithmaryNYC]

Great question, friction is a big part of why ribbons come undone. The knots help the ribbons from sliding down the leg towards the ankle. I thinkthe tip i shared would be for good for quick changes and situations where you have super fast costume changes.

I also suggest the dancer try it before an actual performance, maybe a rehearsal or tech rehearsal.
