Level 3 Pointe

Level 3 Pointe

Our Level 3 Pointe class is a focused, 30-minute weekly session dedicated to developing the strength, technique, and control necessary for pointe work. Dancers will refine their alignment, build ankle and foot strength, and deepen their understanding of proper technique while dancing en pointe. This class is designed to help students improve their balance, flexibility, and stamina, allowing them to execute more advanced pointe movements with confidence and precision. It’s the perfect way for dancers to elevate their training and prepare for more challenging pointe work.

A $40 costume rental fee is required to participate in the end of semester performance and is paid to The Dance Connection the first week of class. Rented costumes must be returned after the performance to avoid additional fees.
