Moon boots for the RNZB

Soloist Ana Gallard Lobaina (pictured below; photo by Jeremy Brick) was one of the first RNZB dancers to try our test pair of ‘moon boots’:

“I’m super excited to finally have the compression boots here! They really are amazing, my legs felt so light after our session today.

“The boots are mostly used amongst athletes, but hey, we fall into that category as well. I know of a few other ballet companies that use them, The Royal Ballet, Boston Ballet and West Australian Ballet. They will be a game changer for this company, especially while touring, because unfortunately we don’t have a physiotherapist in every city we perform at.

“When we hit the road, we have even less recovery time. The boots reduce tightness and soreness, allowing fatigued legs to recover faster while just resting, which is all we have energy for sometimes during a season. They are proven to have made a significant difference in recovery and enhanced performance with fewer incidents of muscle strains.”
