Description:
Renée grew up outside of Manhattan with a family of theater people, meaning they were very involved in the Broadway, musical, dance, and ballet worlds. You name it, they did it. Participating in these types events, Renée noticed how much work a dancer puts into keeping their body in shape. On Pointe was her way of paying homage to something that had given her joy for decades, the ballet and dance community who keep everything "on point" in their performance and work.
