The differences between the Swiss luxury-house’s flats and your run-of-the-mill ballet ones are vast according to the company’s senior corps de ballet dancers, Gretchen Smith and Marika Anderson. The women work in nude leather Bloch dance shoes both in the classroom and throughout rehearsals. And when they’re not dancing they still prefer to slip into flats. “I’m really picky when it comes to flats because I wear them to the bone,” says Anderson, who previously wore Cole Haan because of the Nike-Air instep. “We really like the Bally-Rina’s in blue,” says Smith pointing out the shoe’s ultra low vamp. Smith also likes that the sole of the shoe is comfortable and how the inside looks like an actual pointe shoe. This summer, the company heads for a slew of performances in Saratoga and both women see themselves wearing Bally-Rina flats, Smith with a flowy high-waisted skirt; Anderson with fitted jeans and a T-shirt. They’ll pair them with matching Bally-Rina bags stuffed with the tools of the trade: several pairs of pointe shoes, flat shoes, tape, scissors, glue, needles and thread, water and vitamin B. The cute but functional special Bally-Rina collection comes in shades of navy, grass green and yellow – that should be more than enough to keep more than New York City ballerinas dancing.
