Dancers come from all over the world to perform with the San Francisco Ballet. Dancers train and rehearse an average of 6 hours each day, 6 days a week, in addition to devoting time outside of the studio conditioning and strength training. #SFBalletat90 This tweet was posted on November 20, 2023.

They often break the sole of the shoe or soften the area around the toe. Occasionally, a dancer will darn around the platform—the part of the shoe that the dancer balances on while on pointe—to help with stability or to make the shoe last longer. #SFBalletAt90 #WorldBalletDay This tweet was posted on November 01, 2023.

While 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥 does not have a fixed story, there is a “wandering narrative” throughout inspired by circumstances of the past few years: the COVID-19 pandemic and the struggle for racial equality. #SFBalletAt90 @SFBallet #Ballet This tweet was posted on September 19, 2023.
