easier  demi pointe  and contains
a cushion  within the pleates

 sponge inside the toe of
the platform for extra comfort

section of the heel.

"Serenade's" by Bloch® offers a
square, wide 
toe platform
which is excellent for balance
on pointe. This pointe shoe has
a similar shape to the Sonata in
that the heel is narrow and fits
 snugly. The platform is wider
so is  better suited to a dancer
with square shaped toes and
 assists dancers who are i
nclined to  "sickle" or fall off
 pointe sideways.the Serenade
compensates this with a longer
 vamp and  stronger shank.

Adult 8  B/C/D/E

The Balance shoe is built
for students through to
professionals. The new
 shape closely mimics the
natural contours of the
foot significantly improving
injury prevention for
the dancer.The new width
given to the Balance will
also give the toes
more room.

Sonata MKII includes four improvements over the original Sonata.  It reveals more of dancers foot and reduces bunching of the satin when on pointe. Second, the new genereation insole is harder wearing and moulds quicker to the slope of a dancers arch. Third, the Sonata MKII features a longer wing puff which reduces creasing and bunching of satin when on pointe. Finally, the additional padding under the pleating makes these shoes quieter.

 Available in sizes 13-9 in widths  B, C, D, E
