Pointe Work is for the more advanced student who will be encouraged to start pointe classes when our ballet teachers feel the individual is strong enough and have reached an appropriate level in their technique. This is covered in the more senior lessons as part of the syllabus work however we have a separate class to make sure students have time to really practice and learn strengthening footwork particularly for this section of the ballet curriculum. The class consists of foot strengthening, exercises for balance, core work and learning the progression and correct usage of demi pointe and full pointe in their work.
