Dancers jump in excitement for the new Harvest skin sticker. Dance shoes once made from leather were scarce after the manufacture loss so dancers resorted to tape their feet in desperation to protect them from hours on their toes. Harvest’s new dance footwear acts like a second skin.
This newfound technology allows advancement in performance and expression. The seamless slipper-like skin lets dancers move for a greater time while have an improved movement range. The skin is strong and flexible and keeps the foot safe from blisters. Harvest skin is hardened to create different forms of grip like dancing in bare feet. The human skin is well protected while the Harvest skin protects the foot giving the illusion of bare feet. It has allowed dancers have more interaction with the space they dance in with lowering the injury rate. These are highly recommended by the Royal New Zealand Ballet Company based in Wellington. Traditional point shoes in the Ballet Company only last one week at most with their prima ballerinas on their toes 9hours a day. It has been very costly to keep their dancers stocked with new shoes. The Ballet Company swear by Harvest now which allows them to grow custom point shoes for each of their dancers which last much longer than the traditional point shoe.
