This class focuses on isolated and combined movements to get the ballet dancer ready for Pointe. At least 2 years of ballet training is recommended. Should be enrolled in a current Ballet class in addition to this class to see results! Every week we will perform exercises that strengthen the muscles in our feet, ankles, legs, back and core. I will take you step by step through the movements and observe your technique to make sure you are getting the most out of your exercise. These exercises will include floor exercises, across the floor exercises and standing exercises. This class is fun and beneficial. I try to make my classes fun, but also give feedback in a way that's helpful and understanding for each student. Students all have their own goals and I want to see each student succeed. In this class, students will be able to be as interactive as they would like. We will do exercise sets together so the more support they get from both myself and the other classmates, the more successful each student will be!
Learning Goals
To increase their strength and flexibility as a dancer and one day begin Pointe work!

Parental Guidance
Although injuries do occur, I try my best to walk each student through the exercises slowly and well explained to decrease any chance of injury.
