Beginning Pointe
Ages 12+
Dancers can register for this class in addition to their other classes.
Beginning Pointe is geared towards dancers who have just received pointe shoes. It starts with basic skills like how to sew ribbons and elastics, how to properly tie ribbons, how to be responsible while taking care of the shoes. Students focus on how to rise or “roll up” and down safely in pointe shoes. The emphasis is on proper foot and ankle alignment and strengthening at the barre. We continue to utilize the 5 foundations in this level and students may remain in this class for at least one full year.
