Pointe Shoe Fund

Keep Our Dancers on Their Toes

Every year, The National Ballet of Canada relies on our community of supporters to help provide up to 3,000 pairs of pointe shoes for our dancers to rehearse and perform and you can help!

Donate Now

Pointe shoes are more than just footwear – they are the foundation of the magic of ballet. They give the Sugar Plum Fairy, Snow Queen and Snow Maidens the ability to glide across the stage with elegance and enchantment, transforming every step into a moment of wonder.

Each custom-made pair costs $125. Pointe shoes are essential to so many of ballet's breathtaking moments.

With your gift of $125, you will directly fund one pair of pointe shoes for a dancer. With your tax deductible donation today, you can keep our dancers on their toes. 

Our Thanks

As a donor to the Pointe Shoe Fund, you'll receive unique benefits. We'll take you behind the scenes to learn more about the dancers and the National Ballet, including livestreams of in-studio rehearsals, dancer Q&As and our donor newsletter.
