Injury Prevention, Support, Training Tools

For barefoot dancers or to be worn over pointe shoes, in ballet shoes or ANY shoe while keeping dress code and protecting your body. This versatile Shock is so much more than a brace from your local pharmacy, you will love all the ways you can wear it while dancing longer and stronger!

Below the calf, crew style that is so much more than any compression sock.  The Performance Shock creates a beautiful line and has a slim-cut toe to look incredible on the feet in class or on stage while providing incredible comfort and support.

Professional Pointe Shoe Stitch Kit contains one set each of stretch ribbon and covert elastic, seam ripper, pins, needles, and thread for stitching.

Professional pre-cut stretch satin ribbon allows for the natural flexion, movement and extension of ankle and heel, while also allowing movement from plié to pointe with minimal constriction and no bagginess. Stretch relieves unnecessary stress on the Achilles tendon because the ankle and heel can flex and extend easily.

Stretch Ribbons and covert elastic measure 7/8" wide.

Legwarmer with more function than ever imagined for dancers.  Consistent Kinesio compression throughout gives muscles and joints support without restricting movement.

Don't let knock-offs fool you! There is no substitute for the Alpha Shock. Replacing half-sole shoes, the Alpha is durable and effective compression footwear with a snug hug in the toes. It is so light you forget you are wearing it except for how much better your body feels at the end of the day.

This cushioned toe tape protects the toes and enhances comfort while moving. Elastic cushioned micro-foam with adhesive backing can be wrapped around toes to help protect against injury and chafing.

Each roll is 2.5cm wide and 5m in length.

A non-toxic spray adhesive that is the favorite refresher of traction for all of our Apolla Shocks. The original traction that the Shocks come with starts out sticky and you wear it down to your preferred level of grip. You then keep it there by using a traction refresher. This is Apolla's recommendation. It is a pump spray and when you apply 5-10 pumps to your traction, it dries instantly, and does not damage floors. It helps to "re-stick" the grip over and over for the life of the Shocks. Some dancers start refreshing in the first class, some never refresh, some refresh when needed - it is completely personalized to your need and floors. Your traction will wear down to nothing over time if you don't use a refresher, so make sure to order a bottle to keep in your dance bag! One bottle lasts a long time!

Bunheads Flexors Ribbon has strategically attached elastic to stretch with the movement of the ankle and alleviate pressure on the Achilles tendon. Recommended by physical therapists, used by many professionals.

This Suffolk Kinesiology Tape is a lightweight and flexible tape with great adhesive qualities that can stretch and recoil with the skin while the body is in motion.

Rehabilitative taping is designed to facilitate the body’s healing process, while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion. Taping can also provide extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of physical therapy.

The backing of the tape has a convenient grid pattern to help facilitate straight cuts of the tape as well as the measurement of your cuts.

Be sure to always follow a doctor’s or physical therapist’s instructions on taping.

Each package contains 20 strips of tape in a single roll. Each strip measures approximately 2” wide and 10” long and can be cut to size. Available in Bright Pink, Nude/Tan, Blue.

The Infinite hits mid-calf, graduated compression up the calk and effective arch and ankle support that is perfect for long days on your feet, extra support needs, conventions, travel and recover.  Have a pair after pointe class to slip on and wear around the house to come back to class each day with fresh feet.

Beyond a no-show sock, the AMP gives you arch support like nothing you have tried before.  The low profile and traction on the ball of the foot AND heel allows it to replace a jazz shoe or your barre socks while providing unparalleled support and protection.  It is awesome in NON-traction for everyday wear in tap shoes, or cross-training.
