	Put on your Ruby Slippers - Scottish Ballet is turning 40!	124 days ago
	Reaching forty is a milestone in any company’s history and we’d love you to help us celebrate by giving Scottish Ballet's dancers ballet shoes as a birthday present through the Ruby Slipper Fund. With around 100 performances each year and a rigorous training and rehearsal schedule, our 36 dancers go through around 1,200 pairs of pointe shoes every year. Pointe shoes are quickly worn through: many dancers have a few pairs of shoes which they rotate throughout the day, while others can go through two pairs of shoes per week! Pointe shoes might look identical on stage, but up close, each female dancer needs to have shoes individually crafted to her feet, and the male dancers use a variety of different shoes too, from the classic soft leather shoes to character shoes and jazz boots. You can purchase anything from one pair of pointe shoes to a year’s supply, and choose the dancer that you would like to see performing in them, and you will receive an extra special thank you for your support, determined by the level of your contribution the Ruby Slipper Fund.
