11 & up

Duration- 45 hour

This class is designed to prepare students for pointe work.  This class focuses on strengthening ankles and overall Ballet technique.  Students will be approved for pointe as they are deemed ready by the instructor.  Dual-enrollment in at least 1 hour of Ballet is required.  

​

From our policies and procedures:

"Pre-pointe is a prerequisite for our Pointe program.  Students must be eleven or older and take pre-pointe.  Pointework is highly individualized and our teachers use this class to ensure our students will be able to be safe and successful.  Often, more than one year of pre-pointe is needed to build strength and technique.  Students also must continue to take Ballet in addition to Pointe in order to stay eligible for Pointe classes."

​

Dress Code- Leotard and tights of any color (transition tights are preferred as some exercises will be performed barefoot), skirts or shorts are permitted, pink ballet slippers, and hair in a bun.
