* 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.
