FOOTWEAR TO PRESERVE YOUR BODY & PASSION

Dancer injury rates are staggering. Due to the repetitive nature of dance and high impact forces of jumping etc., inflammation occurs in the joints and muscles. Inflammation, which if not properly treated, will lead to chronic and possibly career-ending injuries.

Yes, proper technique, strength training, and flooring is important, but equally important of this problem is a result of dancing grueling hours in bare feet or non-supportive footwear and lack of recovery time. Apolla Shocks are the answer.

We have thousands of testimonials from dancers like you on how life-changing our Shocks are, plus satisfaction is guaranteed.

COMPRESSION TO THE RESCUE

Arch Support

Apolla Socks’ patented arch support is one-of-a-kind in how it lifts and stabilizes your arch, in key insertion points of the plantar fascia. Their 20-30 mmHg compression zones reduce inflammation related joint and foot pain.

This helps keep the arch and all the little joints in your foot from moving too much, which can cause swelling and pain. With just the right squeeze, our socks keep your feet feeling good by preventing soreness and problems like plantar fasciitis and tendinitis. They also keep the blood moving just right, so your feet don't get swollen.

Ankle Alignment & Stability, The Kinetic Link Principle

Apolla Shocks employ the Kinetic Chain Link Principle, ensuring joint alignment from the ankle to the spine, recognizing that a misalignment can affect the entire body.

Apolla Socks combine patented targeted compression and graduated 20-30 mmHg compression. This dual-action approach stabilizes the ankle, aligning joints and alleviating pain. Then the graduated compression optimizes circulation, crucial for reducing edema and speeding up injury recovery, making these socks a powerhouse for support and rehabilitation.

What Does Compression Do?

Apolla Socks bring a holistic boost to your body's well-being, turning regular footwear into a healing tool.

Their patented compression works like a dynamic pump, propelling inflammation away from tired muscles and reducing blood lactate levels. This targeted support diminishes muscle oscillation, curbing soreness while amplifying power output.

Wearing them means not only quicker recovery but also a boost in overall leg health, ensuring each step is charged with vitality.

WHAT IS THE STEPS INITIATIVE?

We understand 2020 brought to light so much pain in the world, injustices to be corrected, loss, and a feeling of helplessness. Apolla was created to HELP dancers and give support inside AND outside the studio. We feel the calling to shine a light and DO something we can control. To give help where we can starting with our home, the dance community. So we created the StEPS 2020 Initiative... STudios for Equity, Prevention, and Science. This is our way of starting conversation and igniting a catalyst for change in our dance industry.


We curated this course from the generous donations of experts in the fields of racism, sexual abuse prevention, dance medicine and science, gender equity, dance integration, and nutrition. This is a broad starter course to creating a safe space for your studio and is great information for parents too! In each chapter there are also resources for you to continue to learn more and continue your journey into each topic!

One of the foundations we believe creates change is EDUCATION. So we curated this course from the generosity and donations of experts and every studio owner that applied for the financial relief was required to complete the StEPS 2020 Initiative. We then realized it was such a valuable professional development and continuing education course for ALL educators. So we have decided to keep it available for FREE for all. This course provides education, perspective, and actionable items that every studio can implement right away to effect change.
