Pointe 1

Pointe 1 is for the beginner.  In this class the primary focus will be on learning how to sew ribbons and elastics on pointe shoes, barre exercises to strengthen the foot and ankle thereby facilitating a smooth roll up and down in relevé en pointe and demi pointe.  Center work incorporating basic ballet steps and movement will begin.  Proper progression in this class is important to prevent injuries.  Attendance is extremely important in beginning pointe to help with muscle retention.

This class has a required curriculum which includes 2 ballet classes a week, 1 pointe classes, as well as enrichment classes in modern and jazz technique. Additional enrichment classes available include Hip Hop, Tap and Acro. Dancers must be at least 11+ to be enrolled in this class.

The syllabus is designed to properly prepare the serious student in a logical and safe progression of skills. Although each dancer progresses differently, successful completion of this class can take as long as 2 years.
