The evening begins with a panel of experts discussing such topics as learning proper foot care, and pointe shoe fitting and maintenance. The panel includes podiatrist Dr. Brummer, pointe shoe fitter Mary Carpenter, master teacher Lisa Lockwood, and dancer Savannah Lowery, a soloist with New York City Ballet.
The discussion will be followed by a fair with pointe shoe fitters from major manufacturers including Capezio, Chacott by Freed, Gaynor-Minden, and Grishko. Audience members may be fitted for shoes, discover new styles, and purchase merchandise.
The Complete Dancer Series is a major component of The Health and Wellness Program at The School at Steps. Consisting of three annual events, the program is designed to broaden the dance education of our students by including resources and guidance on issues including injury prevention and recovery, physical therapy, nutrition, emotional wellness, and other supplemental services. Events in past have included Injury Prevention Workshop, College Day, Healthy Body Workshop, and Ask the Pros, all designed to help and educate about the dance world, on stage and behind the scenes.
