Ribbons & Elastics

Ribbons and elastics for pointe shoes are small but mighty essentials that elevate both the fit and aesthetic of a dancer’s most important tool. Crafted by trusted brands like Capezio, Bloch, and Nikolay, these accessories—typically made from satin ribbons and stretchy elastic bands—provide the customizable support ballerinas need to secure their shoes perfectly to their feet. Available in classic pink or nude shades to blend seamlessly with tights and shoes, ribbons and elastics ensure a snug, streamlined look that’s as functional as it is elegant for performances and rehearsals alike.

The magic of ribbons and elastics lies in their ability to enhance comfort and stability, tailored to each dancer’s unique foot shape and technique. Ribbons, often sold in pre-cut lengths or rolls, wrap gracefully around the ankle to anchor the shoe, preventing slippage during demanding pointe work like relevés and pirouettes. Elastics, whether sewn across the arch or hidden under the ribbon, add extra flexibility and reinforcement, reducing strain on the Achilles and keeping the heel in place. Together, they create a personalized fit that boosts confidence and lets dancers focus on artistry rather than adjustments.For ballerinas of all levels, investing in quality ribbons and elastics is a simple way to extend the life and performance of their pointe shoes. Beginners can master the timeless tradition of sewing them on, while seasoned dancers rely on their durability through hours of wear. Easy to replace and affordable, these accessories are a practical addition to any dance bag, offering a cost-effective solution to maintain that perfect fit. Pair them with your favorite pointe shoes, and step into the studio with the poise and precision every dancer strives for.
