Intermediate Level
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. In this camp, we will cover the following each day: - Group Warmup - Group Strength and Alignment Exercises - Individual Drills (based on each student's needs) - Group Stretch and Flexibility Exercises Take just one week or multiple weeks!
Learning Goals
Improve strength and flexibility in legs and feetGain awareness of and improve alignment throughout the body

Parental Guidance
Parents are responsible for the safety of their student/s. A space of at least 4 feet by 4 feet must be clear of any trip hazards or dangerous objects. Students may wear ballet shoes or participate barefoot (no socks).
Health & Safety:
You understand that dance and physical exercise carry inherent risks of injury. You should consult with a physician or healthcare professional before beginning any physical activity to ensure that it is appropriate for your fitness level and personal health.
Personal Responsibility:
You are responsible for creating a safe and appropriate environment for your participation, including wearing proper attire, using non-slippery surfaces, and ensuring adequate space. If at any point you feel discomfort, dizziness, or pain, you should stop immediately and seek medical advice.
Instruction & Modifications:
While the instructor provides guidance and modifications, it is your responsibility to gauge your ability to perform the exercises. Any modifications or variations are to be performed at your own risk.
Waiver of Liability:
By engaging in these online classes, you waive any and all claims against the instructor, the company, or any associated parties for injuries, damages, or losses that may occur from your participation in the class, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.
Intellectual Property:
The content provided in this class is for personal use only. Reproduction, distribution, or unauthorized sharing of class materials is prohibited without written consent.
Class Size Minimum:
If the class size minimum is not met, the class may still be held but finish early, depending on the material covered for each lesson. Fewer students often results in moving through the lesson much faster. The class fee, however, remains the same, because the same amount of material is being covered during each lesson. (OR) Students may be combined from multiple sections of the same class into one class time, creating one full class instead of several partially-filled classes. You will be notified in advance if this second option is required. I understand that a schedule change may interfere with other classes you are taking on Outschool.
Pre-Requisites
A minimum of 3 years of formal ballet training required. Enrollment in a minimum of 2 hours of intermediate ballet per week recommended for best results in your pre-pointe journey.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
