Instructor Approval Classes
Pre-Pointe- 4th grade and up
Pre-pointe is designed to teach the fundamentals of and basic techniques in pointe work as preparation for dancing En Pointe to students of the appropriate age and technical ability. Because of the risk of injury students must be physically ready, so one complete dance year (minimum) of pre-pointe and a pointe evaluation is required before advancement to pointe class. The pointe evaluation allows teachers and students the opportunity to see where the student needs work in order to prepare for pointe. The evaluation focuses on legs (straightness and strength), feet (flexibility, strength, alignment, and shape), ankles (strength and straightness), and overall body alignment. Please note: Students must be registered for Ballet class in order to attend Pre-Pointe (For example: Mondays at 5:30-6:30 Int/Adv Ballet)
