Upon reaching these levels, students may remain in these classes for an unlimited number of years. Upon graduation from high school, tuition is waved.
Pre-Pointe (1 hour class)
Dancers wishing to pursue a higher level of ballet technique may enroll in Pre-Pointe classes. Students must complete one year with pre-pointe shoes prior to dancing on pointe. Pre-Pointe enrollment is open to any student 12yrs and above currently enrolled in core classes. Upon successful completion of the pre-pointe year, students will be invited to participate in Pointe classes. Please contact Kelley Hudson for more information regarding this process.
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 Hudson for placement.
Acro (1 hour class)
Acro classes are NOT age based. All beginners must first complete ACRO I before moving into ACRO II. All students will be assessed individually to determine proper placement.
