"All About Pointe Shoes: A Thorough Analysis of "Pointe" from History, Construction, Selection, Wearing, Dancing, and Training!" Akiko Tominaga Price: ¥2200 I've only flipped through it a few times and have kept it stored with care. There are some scratches and scuffs on the cover and dust jacket, but the inside is in good condition. It's packed with information, including how to choose pointe shoes, how to sew them, training methods, and interviews with active dancers. The section explaining the characteristics of pointe shoes was particularly helpful. Recommended for both junior and adult ballerinas! #AkikoTominaga #Akiko_Tominaga #book #Art/Music/Dance"
