Pointe (Teen / Youth Performance)

Our Pointe program is designed for dedicated ballet students who have developed the strength, alignment, and technique needed to safely begin or advance pointe work. Classes focus on precision, endurance, and artistry — deepening the connection between classical training and expressive performance.

What to Expect

Foundations of Pointe Technique — Emphasis on correct alignment, foot and ankle strength, balance, and controlled transitions from demi-pointe to full pointe.
Barre & Center Work — Structured progressions that refine posture, placement, and articulation of the feet.
Musicality & Expression — Dancers learn to merge technical skill with grace and emotional expression on stage.
Safety & Readiness — Instructors assess each dancer’s readiness and ensure proper progression to prevent injury.
