If more than 15 students are registered for a class, another section will be opened up at a different time. We appreciate anyone who would transfer to the new time in order for everyone to have a fulfilling experience.If class enrollment is less than four, the class may be cancelled or combined with another class.



pointe work



Dancing on pointe is a very rigorous and advanced skill. One must have sufficient training to accomplish this. A student needs to demonstrate good alignment throughout the body and turnout of the entire leg. They must have sufficient strength in their legs, feet and ankles. They must be able to work in a focused manner in class and have the desire to work on pointe. These guidelines are all in place to avoid injuries and problems that can be caused by pointe dancing. The student must be at least 12 years old with at least 3 consecutive years of ballet experience. And it is up the instructor when the student is ready to go on pointe. Once on pointe, it is highly recommended to be taking ballet at least twice a week.
