POINTE

Duration- 1 hour

This class requires previous pointe experience, or a private test with one of our teachers. Students will focus on increasing strength in their feet and ankles in order to perfect the precise moves required by pointe dancers.  Students must take an additional weekly ballet class to be eligible for any pointe class.  Students taking pointe are held to a higher level of class attendance and should not consistently miss class.  This class requires a higher level of strength and has a higher risk of injury.  Students need to be in their shoes weekly to build strength and stamina.  This class will perform a piece on pointe for the end of year Showcase.
