Each year, Singapore Dance Theatre spends a significant part of its budget on supplying its dancers with pointe shoes, special blocked-toe footgear that mostly women use for classical, neo-classical and contemporary ballets.

Pointe shoes don't last long - especially not after long hours of practice in the studio every day. In order to maintain and improve their technique and artistry, dancers constantly require quality shoes for their relentless training regime. Otherwise, they will risk injuring themselves - or worse.

We hope that dance enthusiasts, organisations and the generous public will help us build up and sustain The Pointe Shoe Fund. With this Fund, our dancers can always count on a regular supply of pointe shoes.

For a contribution of $50 or more, you will receive a pair of well-worn pointe shoes, personally autographed by your favourite SDT dancer. Students will get the same for a special rate of $20.
