Working closely with director Lisa Johnson-Willingham (center), a former dancer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Russian Pointe donated an array of models, sizes and specifications to fit the dancers at this year’s AileyCamp, as well as additional pairs to accommodate fitting to future students.
Russian Pointe also donated pointe shoes to Washington Ballet, designated for the school’s financial aid students. The donated shoes were hand-selected by fitting expert Stephanie Unger, who conducted trunk show fittings during the summer intensive.
