In Introduction to Pointe and our new Pointe Prep class, students wear ballet slippers and begin to prepare for their advancement onto Pointe in a Ballet Technique Concentration class.  The art of Pointe dance is an elegant addition to ballet that takes the developed, age appropriate dancer and raises her to the tips of her toes.  Dancers must have a sufficient amount of ballet training and have both the Artistic Director’s approval and a Physician’s note stating the dancer may advance to the specialty Pointe shoes and is able to participate in the serious training required to be a Pointe dancer.
