PRE-POINTE & POINTE
Teaching correct body alignment, strengthening exercises focusing particularly on leg muscles and ankles and flexibility enhancement
PRE-POINTE & POINTE CLASSES
LETTER FROM DIRECTOR
One of the most beautiful and yet challenging forms of dance taught at the studio, all pointe and pre-pointe classes by nature have to insist on proper technique. This will include teaching correct body alignment, strengthening exercises focusing particularly on leg muscles and ankles and flexibility enhancement in order to provide the necessary arch in a dancers foot.
All dancers hoping one day to win those coveted pointe shoes must first be enrolled in one of our pre-pointe classes where they will be introduced to the training mentioned above. We usually start that training once a dancer reaches the age of 8 or 9 years old. After some rigorous preparation and over much time, a dancer may become come ready to dance en pointe.
