PERSONAL COMMENT

Dance Arches was an idea created out of necessity. I personally needed them during my years as a professional ballet dancer. It didn't matter how hard I worked, I could not change the height of the top of my feet and I found I was not alone with this problem.

While creating Dance Arches, I was pedantic about the shape of the enhancer and went to great effort to create a technically perfect foot from all angles. I employed a prosthetics specialist and together we worked tirelessly to create a shape that would suit most feet and look completely natural from all angles.

Dance Arches are not a substitute for hard work but they do help improve the line of the leg and foot by increasing the height of the instep. I have offered them to dancers when all their efforts fail to achieve the desired results.

Dancers have been trying to increase the height of their insteps for decades by using cotton wool and plaster and collagen injections. Some have even resorted to surgery in an attempt to have better looking feet. Dance Arches have brought the problem out of the shadows and offered a simple, and non- invasive solution.

Thank you to all the Professional dancers, Artistic Directors, students and teachers who have given such valued feedback . Also, a special thank you to Marie Walton-Mahon , (ARAD, Solo Seal, International RAD Examiner and Principal of the National College of Dance) for supporting and endorsing Dance Arches .

Finally, it is rewarding knowing that those who wear Dance Arches, enjoy having the best looking ballet feet they can. They will help make all that hard work worth it and will show dancers the difference they want to see.

To all who wear Dance Arches, I hope they help you to enjoy every step.
