Missouri Ballet Theatre’s Pointe Shoe Fund
CHIP IN 10 TO KEEP US ON OUR TOES
Like paintbrushes to an artist, pointe shoes play an integral part in a professional ballet dancer’s ability to realize their artistic vision. A ragged and uneven brush can impede the flow of paint to canvas, and the condition of a dancer’s shoes can influence the quality of a performance.
Pointe shoes are expensive at $75 or more a pair, and wear out quickly.
It is not uncommon for a professional dancer to go through one or more pairs in a week, 4 or more pairs in a month, and at least 40 pairs in a year.
That adds up to $300 a month or $3000 a year-for one dancer!
YOU can make a difference.
YOU can provide the tools that will support Missouri Ballet Theatre’s dancers so that they can continue to enrich our community through innovative and collaborative dance.
Be a part of our vision. Chip in, and when you attend a Missouri Ballet Theatre performance, you’ll know that an integral part of keeping each dancer on her toes is you!

THE POWER OF 10
If 30 friends chip in $10,
30 friends x $10= $300
or enough pointe shoes for
one dancer for a month!
If those 30 friends gather 10 friends and each chip in $10
300 friends x $10= $3000
or enough pointe shoes for
one dancer for a year!
If those 300 friends gather 10 friends and each chip in $10
3000 friends x $10 = $30,000
or nearly enough for pointe shoes for all of Missouri Ballet Theatre’s dancers for a year!
