Amp Dance Family

The pointe class is reserved for those students who take ballet consistently and have been observed and approved to be en pointe by an Amp instructor. The class does perform in the annual recital with dancers wearing pointe shoes. Amp does not recommend any student under the age of 12 begin en pointe for the dancers’ safety and development. Per many orthopedists , the bones of the feet do not fully develop and harden until approximately 13-15 years old and beginning pointe too early can permanently damage immature bones.

The pre-pointe class is reserved for those students who have been approved by an instructor to start preparing to be en pointe. Students in this class are required to also enroll in their age-level ballet class. In Pre-Pointe, dancers will do conditioning exercises specifically for pointe strengthening. The Pre-Pointe class does perform in the annual recital, with students wearing ballet shoes and not pointe shoes. Amp does not recommend any student under the age of 12 begin en pointe for the dancers’ safety and development.
