This is a pointe preparation class for serious ballet students interested in dancing en pointe. This preparatory class, designed for 9 to 12 year olds, will further develop and strengthen the feet, leg, and core muscles necessary to go en pointe. We will also learn about how pointe shoes are made and how to sew ribbons. Please note: Pointe shoes are not required or used for this class as the Royal Academy of Dance recommends students be 12 years of age before starting pointe and students must also be enrolled in a weekly ballet class.
