We thank all of our dancers for sharing this thoughtful artwork with us.

For more photo contests, join Russian Pointe on Facebook!

1st Place winner

Louise wears Rubins.
Inspiration: "My limited edition pink scooter, only 400 made. Blending into the crowd is a bad thing when riding on two wheels among those on four or more wheels."

Bryn, photographer, of 1-year-old holding Entrada.
Inspiration: "My 11-year-old sister, Taylor, Grand Prix New York City Finalist."

Kaely, 16, wears Rubin.
"I love the bridge over my backyard creek, and pink is my all time favorite color!!!  It really pops against the green!"

Sarah, 12 "I could have never got through Showcase without my Bravas. Pink is my absolute favorite color."	Johanna, 19 "I wear Russian Pointe Grande. They are the only shoes that allow my low arch/instep feet to reach full pointe. My inspiration is extreme contrast in colors and combining it with a candid/natural view of the feet vs. shoes."

 
Will, photographer, http://www.brennerphotography.us/
Inspiration: "To capture the perfect ballet photo."

Suzee, 16
"These are my pointe shoes that I renovated for my performance as Glinda! They have lace fabric sewn onto the entire exterior of the shoe, ribbon sewn around the top, and canvas sewn on the toe, and of course, a dancer can't go without some glittery rhinestones! These shoes are Entradas but I also wear Almaz!"

Stephanie, 18

Sophia, 13, wears Brava.
"My Inspiration is the feeling I get when I fall in love with a dance so much that my body takes over my mind. I feel that no one except dancers can feel that. This is what inspires me to dance."

Maia, 15, wears Sapfir.
"Pink represents a dancer's dreams, that first tutu, or first pair of Russian Pointe shoes! We fantasize about ribbons and satin and tulle floating effortlessly across the stage. Pink is beautiful, graceful, and inspiring. My dance bag is full of pink sweaters, leg warmers, pointe shoes, tights, and ballet slippers. This was what inspired me to take these photos."

Melody, 18, wears Entrada.
"Ballet inspires me in all my artwork, like photography, and Russian Pointe inspires my ballet!"
