Pointe Classes (Ages 12+)

​

Pointe classes are by permission only and co-enrollment with a ballet technique class (either Ballet 4 or Ballet 5). When taking pointe, it is crucial that students continue to improve their technique in flat shoes as well. This will help them with strength and the proper technique and alignment needed to safely do pointe. Beginning pointe classes will focus more on strengthening the muscles and proper pointe technique, as well as basic exercises at the barre. Intermediate and advanced pointe classes will continue to focus on strengthening muscles and proper technique, but will expand to doing combinations center, across the floor and learning more difficult steps.

Performance Class (Ages 6-Adults) 

​

“Performance Class” is intended for students who wish to participate in dance productions. Dancers in this class will need to be able to wait quietly for their turns at rehearsal, wait backstage until their turn to dance, focus on learning choreography quickly, have an enthusiastic and mature approach to dance, and understand the seriousness of practicing choreography outside of class. Since all age groups perform together, it is crucial every student is prepared for these responsibilities. We will be performing the Nutcracker in December and creating another original ballet in the Spring. 

​

We are committed to making dance and performing something that is available to everyone regardless whether they have past dance experience or not. We will work with all skill levels so there is no prior dance experience required! Dancers are encouraged to participate in this supplemental class along with a technique class but may also take it on its own. Click here to register.
