Bev's question: Are there any rules regarding the wearing of pointe shoes in the IDO SHOWDANCE sections?

Bill's answer: There is no rule regarding footwear in Showdance competitions and now - that the newly proposed Showdance description says that Showdance pieces should be based on Jazz, Ballet or Modern technique - wearing pointe shoes would be completely acceptable.
