Level 2 Pre Pointe

Our pre pointe class is a 30-minute weekly session dedicated to building the strength, technique, and stability required for pointe work. Dancers will focus on developing the necessary muscle control, alignment, and balance to prepare for en pointe training. Throughout the class, students will work on strengthening their feet, ankles, and legs, all while refining their overall ballet technique. Once dancers are assessed and approved for pointe shoes, they will begin working at the barre in their new shoes, marking an exciting milestone in their ballet journey! Students interested in expanding their abilities and talents are encouraged to simultaneously enroll in other Level 2 classes. Preteen Lyrical and Preteen Hip Hop. This class does not perform in the end of semester performance and does not require a costume fee.
