Beginning Pointe
Class experience
In this dance class, students will be challenged in their Ballet and Pointe technique in a fun, interactive, and educational environment through online learning. Together we will cover classical movement and methodology, and French terminology, with a focus on beginning pointe combinations for strength and placement. At the beginning of each class we will start with a slow warm up for our feet and breaking in our shoes. Most of our time together will be spent focusing on barre work,...
Students will learn safe and strength building combinations for beginning pointe work, as well as increasing knowledge of proper technique and placement.
Materials: - Leotard and tights - Pointe shoes* - A chair, counter, or sturdy surface to hold on to for barre work, about waist height - An open space to dance in safely, at least a 4 ft by 4 ft square - Yoga/exercise mat** - Water bottle - Notebook and pen * If your learner has not been approved for pointe yet, this class can be taken in flat shoes as a pre-pointe class. I am also available upon request to assess a student being ready for pointe. **A yoga/exercise mat is advised if your flooring is carpeted or extra slippery cement/tile. Hard wood or Marley flooring is best for dancing in pointe shoes.
Please contact me in advance if you have any health or safety concerns for your learner.* In this class we will move at a slow to moderate pace together, monitoring our physical activity safely. *For pointe work it is advised to have your primary physician’s approval before beginning classes, to ensure proper glute, leg, and foot strength, as well as ankle mobility. If your learner has not been approved for pointe yet, this class can be taken in flat shoes as a pre-pointe class. I am also available upon request to assess a student being ready for pointe.
