Dancing en pointe is the act of standing on the tips of the toes while performing steps from ballet. Also known as pointe work, it is performed using hard–toed and stiff-shanked pointe shoes. Dancing en pointe requires strength and skill, so prior permission from instructor, as well as permission from your doctor, is required before students begin taking pointe classes. Dancers may begin training for pointe around the age of 10, depending on ability and discipline, by attending pointe classes and adapting to a "pre-pointe" instruction. Dancers must be at least 12 years of age to be considered for pointe.

This class is specifically geared towards dancers striving to one day be en Pointe. Main focus includes core and leg stability, ankle and foot strength, alignment, and gaining maturity in listening/prepping the body for pointe work. Welcome to dancers who want to work on pre-pointe basics on flat, even if already en Pointe. Demi pointe shoes are not required.
