The Pointe Shop Goes on the Road: Exploring Ballet West With Academy Director Peter Merz

Earlier this summer, we followed master pointe shoe fitter Josephine Lee of the California-based The Pointe Shop as she made her on a pointe shoe fitting tour around the West Coast and California. Now she’s back, this time on a 45-day tour from California to Chicago, educating students on all things pointe shoes and helping them to find their perfect fit. Lee’s making stops at top ballet companies and academies across the country, exploring schools and getting know academy directors. Below, check out Lee’s stop at Ballet West. She touches base with academy director Peter Merz. Stay tuned for more!
