Kansas City Ballet Dancer and budding choreographer Elliott Rogers knows just how essential pointe shoes are to a ballerina’s craft🩰
“Pointe shoes aren’t just equipment – they’re part of a dancer’s body in motion, and they need to be replaced often to suit different choreographies. The right shoe makes all the difference," Elliott says.💬✨
