Pointe I/II (1 hour class)
Dancing on pointe is a classical ballet technique that trains dancers to support all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet. Pointe work is performed while wearing pointe shoes, which employ structural reinforcing (the "shank") to distribute the dancer's weight load throughout the foot, thus reducing the load on the toes enough to enable the dancer to support all body weight on fully vertical feet. A solid and continued foundation in ballet as well as completion of Pre-Pointe is required to dance on pointe. A students invitation to join the class is based on individual criteria. Pointe is an extremely physically demanding dance style, and not all dancers are equipped to do it. NO TWO DANCERS ARE THE SAME. No matter the skill level of the dancer, not all dancers can dance on pointe. Levels are divided based on experience on pointe and technical skill. Please contact Kelley Stroup for placement.
