The best pointe fitting of your life?
Yeah, it starts with a fitter who actually GETS IT.
Meet @junesdancewear - one of our certified RP fitting partners. Tamra has been fitting for 23 1/2 years and Judy, 56! They KNOW feet.
Like, the kind of knowledge that can fully change how your shoes feel, fit, and work for your dancing.
Their biggest tip:
“Sometimes it is the shoe, not you. The right fit can make all the difference in the world. When switching to a totally different shoe, give yourself some grace and time to adjust.” 🩰
This is the RP network.
Real experts. Real relationships. Real fittings that make sense.

POV: you’re backstage, ribbons tied and you’re READY 🩰✨
It feels like there are hundreds of ways to sew your ribbons and elastic and they’re all “the right way” depending on who you ask 😂
stretch ribbon or non-stretch? elastic or no elastic? See at angle or straight? square stitch or whip stitch? tuck or no tuck?
the answer is - it actually depends on YOUR foot, YOUR shoe, and what feels most secure when you move.
what we do know is that the ribbon and elastic you choose matters just as much as you sew it.
RP has the full range 🎀
✨stretch ribbon for dancers who want flexibility and give
✨ non-stretch for cleaner, more structured finish
find what works for you then sew it like your performance depends on it- because it literally does 🫣😂
💾 save this to share to your friends- everyone has an opinion on this and honestly the debate is always worth having.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
“Big Love, Small Moments”
That is truly my description of ballet. It is my big love. And that love is built from the small moments - the details, the practice, the corrections, the work, the time in the studio.
I am so grateful for ballet - my love.💗🩰💗
