Summer Pre-Pointe
Pre-Pointe Description:
Pre-Pointe is open to all students who are at least 12 years old or older and have been in Ballet III (Advanced Ballet) for at least 2 years. This class will be intensively focused on the technique, strengthening, and body awareness that is needed to go on Pointe. The class will include a mixture of Ballet combinations, strengthening exercises using pilates, therabands, balance balls, and floor work, and technique driven drills aimed at helping students get to where they need to be to go on Pointe. While taking this class does not guarantee that a student will be approved for Pointe, it will get students one step closer to it. The class will function as an assessment of the students' skills and preparation needed for approval. Dancers who are already on Pointe may also take this class for continued strengthening. (Pointe shoes may be worn for part of the class.)
Class meets on Monday evenings
Parents are asked to wait in a designated area. A parent observation date will be announced at the beginning of the session.
