A very important part of ballet is shoes. For dancers dressed in tights and tutus, getting up on pointe is a move known as “pointe,” and it requires a rugged pair of ballet shoes. Rugged yet dainty is the combination that sets apart outfitter R-Class, a new ballet outfitter in Manassas.
“It’s important to really work on the fit,” said Jennifer Fitzpatrick, who is one of the founders of R-Class with fellow dancer Natalya Balatsenko. Ballet dancers start out at a young age, wearing socks or tights, but haven’t reached the pointe level with fancy shoes. That comes with experience. “When you get on pointe shoes, it’s a real big deal,” she said.

This comes after an earlier report of a similar incident the same day. On March 10, around 6:50 p.m., a 26-year-old woman jogging near River Ridge Boulevard and Powells Creek Boulevard was approached by a man on a black electric scooter who touched her inappropriately. She also told police about a similar encounter with the suspect in the same area in May 2025. No injuries were reported in that case either.
