Pointe
(Add On Class - Grades 8-12)

Pointe work is an advanced level of ballet training that allows dancers to perform on the tips of their toes using specially designed pointe shoes with a hard toe box and stiff shank. This milestone requires years of preparation, dedication, and strong ballet technique.
Pointe is typically introduced when a dancer is at least 11 years old and has developed the necessary physical strength, proper alignment, and technical foundation for this level of training. The transition to pointe is about much more than foot strength—it requires full-body stability, core strength, balance, control, and a thorough understanding of ballet technique.
Because each dancer progresses at their own pace, students are individually evaluated by the instructor through pre-pointe training before advancing to pointe work. This ensures dancers are safely prepared and confident as they begin this exciting next step in their ballet journey.
