Have you ever wondered what is actually happening inside a pointe shoe?
In this episode of the Ballet Science Podcast, I sit down with Christine Fernandez and Kaitlyn Kumar, co-founders of PointeSense, a wearable technology designed to provide real-time feedback during pointe work.
Using pressure sensors and motion tracking technology, PointeSense aims to help dancers, teachers, fitters, and healthcare professionals better understand pointe technique, alignment, shoe fit, and potential injury risks.
Whether you're a ballet dancer, teacher, pointe shoe fitter, dance medicine professional, or simply curious about the future of dance technology, this is a fascinating conversation you won't want to miss.
