Sailleor Dance Co

Welcome to Sailleor Dance Co, located on Glamorgan Drive in Auckland, New Zealand. Our institution is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for dancers, with a focus on pointe work and pointe shoe fitting from a medical perspective.

Led by qualified podiatrist Astrid Wolters, who is registered with ACC, Sailleor Dance Co works closely with experts in Dance Health Medicine in New Zealand, including Georgina Barr and Esther Juon.

When you visit us for a pointe shoe fitting, Astrid will conduct a series of lower limb assessments to evaluate muscle strength, alignment, and joint range of motion. We have carefully selected MDM shoes for their high quality and Dance Base Support™, as well as a range of pointe and demi-pointe shoe brands such as Grishko, Merlet, Repetto, and Russian Pointe, which are ideal for New Zealand dancers. Our goal is to ensure that you leave with the most supportive and comfortable pointe shoes for your feet.

Please note that there is a one-off initial fitting fee, which covers the comprehensive up to 2-hour assessment and an individualized photo-based report.

At Sailleor Dance Co, dancers, teachers, and parents will benefit from our extensive knowledge and expertise in pointe shoe fitting. Our clients have shared their positive experiences, expressing how much more comfortable and stable their pointe shoes feel compared to their previous ones. They are able to dance with confidence, knowing that their feet are safe and supported.

One of our unique offerings is the Juon Pointe Fitting System, developed by Esther Juon. This system encourages correct engagement of the intrinsic foot muscles, lengthening through the toes, improving alignment, and providing maximum support for the joints in the forefoot. It is particularly beneficial for young dancers entering into pointe work, as it aims to protect their developing growth plates, as well as for professional ballerinas.

At Sailleor Dance Co, we are committed to ensuring the safety and comfort of dancers as they progress into pointe work. Visit us today for a personalized pointe shoe fitting experience that will enhance your dance journey.
