the program
More than a fitting.
In partnership with local studios and pointe instructors, we offer a fitting experience that supports your dancer from the moment they're invited en pointe through every recheck after. We're committed that precision fit and wide product variety will never be the reason a dancer in Waco can't get their pointe shoes fit locally.
Invitation
When your teacher invites you en pointe, you can book your fitting online or contact us to schedule at From the Top.
Your Precision Fitting
A 30–60 minute fitting using a Brannock Device, goniometer, and an anatomical approach informed by Physical Therapist consultation. We document everything — measurements, images, shoe selection — so your next recheck is smarter than your last fitting.
Your Pointe Record + Rechecks
We maintain your Pointe Record. As your feet grow and strengthen, your fit needs change — we track every recheck against your history so changes are informed, not guessed.
what makes us different
Precision tools.
Permanent records.
Most pointe fittings rely on experience and intuition alone. Ours start there — and go further.
Every member of our team who fits has completed brand-sponsored fitting programs and trained alongside regional fitting experts who have been incredibly generous in mentoring us. We will never settle here.
meet your fitters
Two fitters. One process.
Every fitting at From the Top follows the same Precision Pointe Fitting process. Choose the appointment that matches where your dancer is right now.
Hannah Requa
Lead Fitter · Professional Dancer · $25
Best for first pairs, brand changes, and any dancer with fit challenges.
Hannah brings over 15 years of experience as a dancer and educator, including her time as a principal soloist with Corpus Christi Ballet and her current work with Ventana Ballet. She's a core part of our precision fitting program and shares our commitment to continually advancing this process.
Evie Ryden
Pointe Fitter · Dance Pedagogy · $20
Best for dancers already on pointe who need a refit or a size recheck.

The En Pointe Club.
Getting invited en pointe is a milestone worth celebrating — and we wanted to mark it with something special. The En Pointe Club is our way of honoring that moment and welcoming dancers into a community that takes pointe seriously, from the very first fitting to every recheck after.
When you're fitted at From the Top, you're part of something bigger than a shoe purchase. You're part of a program built on precision, care, and a genuine passion for getting it right.
