Support our Dancers: Step by Step

Our Pointe Shoes

Pointe shoes are the heartbeat of ballet—handmade, delicate, and essential for every ballerina. But despite their beauty, they are incredibly fragile, often lasting only a few hours of rehearsals and performances before wearing out. Each pair typically costs between $65–$120, making them a significant but vital investment in every dancer’s artistry.

Our dancers spend countless hours each day training and performing in pointe shoes, pushing their artistry to the highest level.

With your support, Ballet San Antonio can continue providing the shoes that allow our ballerinas to bring timeless stories to life on stage.

Every step, every leap, every moment of magic is made possible by you.

Pointe Shoes Fund

Our Pointe Shoe Fund will ensure that our dancers have the essential tools they need to perform at the highest level. Each handmade pair allows them to bring elegance, strength, and artistry to the stage, but with their fragility and short lifespan, the cost quickly adds up.

By supporting this fund, you are helping provide the very foundation of ballet—empowering our dancers to continue sharing breathtaking performances and inspiring our community through the beauty of dance.
