On Your Toes
The grand Russian Pointe Dance Boutique epitomizes the elegance and romance of ballet. Tucked away on the second floor of a Loop office tower, it carries an unparalleled array of everything for dance practice and performance for men, women and children. In addition to the shop's signature line of toe shoes, you'll find elaborate tutus handmade in St. Petersburg, Russia ($600-$1200), ballroom dance shoes from Italy ($45-$300), plus jewelry, make-up and warm-up attire. Try anything out on the shop's small stage, complete with mirror and barre. Dance-focused DVDs ($12-$40) range from Baryshnikov to Travolta.
