Pointe
(Ages 14-18)
Advanced Level
Full Season Program
Students who have advanced ballet training and/or have completed the pre-pointe training program will be invited to join our Pointe class. This classical technique is performed by a dancer who supports their body weight on the tips of a fully extended vertical foot with hard pointe shoes through positions such as relevé, sauté or piqué to achieve fluid movements such as adage and allegros. Extensive training is required to be in our pointe class as students must have the appropriate strength and technique to avoid serious injury. Factors considered for Pointe are age, ballet experience, strength and body alignment. The safety of our students is our top priority!
