Pointe

Dancing “en pointe” is the dream of every aspiring ballerina. Students must be at least 11-12 years old with 3-4 years ballet technique training and must have strong ballet placement, take pre-pointe and pass a pointe assessment before being allowed to dance in “toe shoes.” It is imperative that growth plates in a dancer’s feet have nearly fully formed before pointe shoes can be worn safely. Dancers who begin pointe work too early or with poor technique suffer needlessly and never truly achieve the grace on pointe that makes it a desirable endeavor. The body is under tremendous pressure when dancing en pointe.

Pre-pointe

Students must be at least 11-12 years old with 3-4 years ballet technique training and must have strong ballet placement, take pre-pointe and pass a pointe assessment before being allowed to dance in “toe shoes.”

If you have taken at least 1 year of ballet and are in Ballet III, IV, or V (or are age 9+) and are interested in ballet examinations please talk to your instructor about joining a Cecchetti Syllabus Grade I class in addition to your regular ballet class. Examinations take a lot of preparation, study, and commitment. Normally 1-2 years is spent studying per grade.
