Russian
Pointe, Inc. was founded by Aleksandra Efimova in 1998 in Ann Arbor, MI. While a full-time student of International
Business Studies, Ms. Efimova wrote a business plan for her degree program and
addressing the import of dance shoes and apparel from Russia to the United
States. As she completed her college
studies, she implemented that plan, combining her passions for the arts and
business. Russian Pointe quickly grew
from a small distribution to the dance schools in the Ann Arbor area, to a
prestigious brand available in hundreds of fine dancewear stores across The United States and Canada.
In March
2005, the company was moved to Chicago to gain greater access to national
trade, expand warehouse facilities and improve delivery through Chicago's
central U.S. location.
