Maria Chapman, principal dancer at Pacific Northwest Ballet, demonstrates how she uses Satellite City Hot Stuff instant glue to strengthen her pointe shoes by hardening specific area. This process can make your pointe shoes last up to twice as long! How many pairs do you go through in a year? Would you like to buy fewer shoes and use that money for something else? With her simple instructions, you will learn the method used by many dancers at Pacific Northwest Ballet, as well as at many other fine dance companies, such as New York City Ballet, Atlanta Ballet, Pitsburgh Ballet Theater, and others who have found that using Hot Stuff allows them to dramatically reduce their shoe budget. The product shown in this video is our Hot Stuff Original 1oz, catalog number HS-7. Visit http://www.caglue.com/Pointe-Shoe-strengthening_ep_56.html today and start hardening your pointe shoes with the method and product professionals have been using for decades! You can also find the 2oz version of this glue on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Stuff-Instant-Glue-Ounces/dp/B0006O3TLW/ref=sr_1_1?... (eligible for FREE SHIPPING with Amazon Prime)

  • this stuff works great

  • Thank you for the endorsement. Did you get it from our website or from a dance supplier?

  • I use jet glue.

  • Some of our ballet customers, like Pacific Northwest Ballet, switched from Jet Glue to Hot Stuff after they tried it and found that Hot Stuff cured faster and lasted longer. Both are the same basic type of glue, but the results are different enough to make people switch when they try Hot Stuff.

  • She has such a pretty smile. :)

  • Were you fitted professionally? Have you broken them in? Is the drawstring too tight? Try loosening it and break them in really well to soften them. If they still feel tight, have the fit checked by a professional. Gx

  • I just got my first pair of point shoes today! Is it bad to break out your shoe? I am trying to break them in but it's a little difficult. any tips? I dream to be a principle dancer some day. please reply:)

  • shes so gorgeous! great video :)

  • They do but it's highly unsafe, and if it goes wrong you can never dance again so I wouldn't risk it

  • Very interesting. Thanks for posting. BTW some years ago it was fashionable for some prof. ballet dancers (including one VERY famous male dancer) to have their feet broken in surgery, then re-set with a 'naturally' much higher instep! And some desperate ballet students opted for an operation to sever ligaments which gave the 'appearance' of total turnout! Does anyone know if those practices/ /abuses still go on?

  • @SatelliteCitylnc
