Ballet Pre-Pointe Conditioning - Weekly - Join Anytime (Intermediate Dancers)

This class is designed for dancers who are preparing to transition to pointe work. Through a targeted blend of strength training, flexibility exercises, and ballet-specific conditioning, students will focus on building the foundational strength and alignment needed for safe and successful pointe work. Emphasis is placed on foot and ankle strength, core stability, and proper alignment of the legs and body. Students will also engage in exercises that enhance balance, turnout, and overall body awareness. This class is ideal for dancers aiming to build the physical strength and technique required for pointe work, or for those recently promoted to pointe who may need extra support in specific areas.

This class is intended to be supplemental to your regular weekly ballet training.

>>This class is best viewed on a large screen. It is recommended that dancers use a device that can be connected to a tv or large monitor.

>>Pre-Pointe Conditioning is offered at several times each week. You may enroll in more than one class, if faster results are desired. Consider private lessons for a specialized conditioning plan.

Each class will cover the following:

- Warmup
- Strength and Alignment Exercise Drills
- Calf Strength Exercise Drills
- Stretch and Flexibility Exercise Drills
- Foot Strength and Shaping Drills
- Balance Drills
- Turnout Drills

Students will work continuously throughout the class with short breaks between drills.

This class uses pre-recorded exercise examples (by me) with written instructions (to accommodate different learning styles). I will talk through and explain each exercise drill, then give students a set amount of time to finish each drill. We will cover some of the same drills each week. New drills will be introduced throughout the section as students are ready. I will closely observe each student during drills and offer immediate verbal corrections on placement and expectations, if needed. Having the pre-recorded examples helps me spend quality time on observing and offering feedback, rather than demonstrating - and students can actively see what they need to do during each drill (great for students who have difficulty remembering combinations).

>> This class is becoming popular. (Thanks everyone!) For this reason, paused students risk potentially lose their spot in this class if more students enroll during your paused weeks and the class becomes full.
