The Hip Joint specializes in professional fittings from our experienced staff. Pointe shoes- Please call ahead for pointe shoe fitting appointments: 434-971-6888 Pointe shoes are handmade and, therefore, no two shoes are alike. The fit of a pointe shoe must be precise, and due to variables in shoe construction, we estimate about 30-60 minutes for first time fittings. You will receive one-on-one attention, complete instructions and a tutorial. Fitting is free with the purchase of pointe shoes, $30 without shoe purchase. The Hip Joint has a "Pointe Shoe Club"- Members shoe style, size and special needs are kept on file to assist future fittings. Every member's tenth pair of pointe shoes is FREE. Perfect for serious ballet dancers! COMMUNITY DANCE BOARD: The Hip Joint posts classes, workshops and events for theater and dance in the Charlottesville area.
