We are proud to welcome as a sponsor of the Pointe Shoe Summit, Singapore 2026. ✨

Driven by a mission to help dancers thrive, Gaynor Minden continues to challenge tradition through innovation, recognising dancers as both artists and athletes, and their bodies as the instruments behind their art.

From flexible polymer shanks that never break, to impact-absorbing sockliners, non-collapsing boxes, and wider platforms designed for support and longevity, their pioneering approach has transformed the conversation around pointe shoes.

We are incredibly grateful for their support and look forward to continuing important conversations around dancer health and the future of dance together.

Ballet has long admired the dancer who pushes through.

The one who trains more.
Does more.
Endures more.

But there is a difference between commitment and chronic overload.

Overtraining rarely arrives dramatically. It appears quietly:
fatigue, persistent soreness, performance plateaus, anxiety, recurrent injuries, a fading love of dance.

The conversation shouldn’t be:
“How much can young dancers tolerate?”

It should be:
“How much do they need to thrive?”

Protecting dancers doesn’t lower standards.

It raises them.

What signs of overtraining do you think are too often ignored in ballet?

Join us at the Pointe Shoe Summit, August 5 - 7 at Singapore Ballet
as we open the floor to the conversations our industry can no longer avoid.

Spaces are limited.

Crunched toes have become normalised in pointe.

But normalised doesn’t always mean necessary.

The future of pointe depends on Teachers and dance health professionals willing to stay curious, keep learning and challenge what is accepted in pursuit of better outcomes for dancers.

Not through blame.
Through education.
Through evolution.

What if the future looked different?

Join us at the Pointe Shoe Summit this August 5 - 7 in Singapore as we challenge the norm and shape healthier futures for dancers.

Book your ticket now! Spots are limited.
