Pointe Dance Classes
Advanced pointe work for experienced ballet students
About Pointe Classes
Pointe work is the pinnacle of classical ballet training, where dancers perform on the tips of their toes using specially designed pointe shoes. Our pointe program is designed for advanced ballet students who have developed the necessary strength and technique.
Students must have instructor approval before beginning pointe work, as proper preparation is essential for safety and success. Our instructors carefully assess each student's readiness and provide personalized guidance.
Pointe classes focus on building strength, proper alignment, and technique specific to dancing en pointe.
