Pointe Work
Beginning with Elementary II, students wishing to prepare for pointe work are required to attend a minimum of two ballet classes weekly. Students who have been placed on pointe must attend the minimum required ballet classes weekly in order to maintain the privilege of dancing on pointe. These minimum requirements have been established to ensure that students are safe and secure in their basic technique and muscle strength. Remember, everyone can enjoy ballet and dancing, even though dancing on pointe may not be recommended for each student.
