Modernizing
the Ballet Slipper
Two recent graduates from FIT’s Global Fashion Management program, Ashley Cannon and Kelsey Pushkarewicz, developed an ergonomic contemporary option to the ballet slipper, a non-heeled dance shoe developed in the mid-18th century. By applying proven advanced technologies from the athletic shoe industry, these two former dancers invented a solution that reduces the cost of dance shoes and improves the performance and health of dancers.
