Beginning/Intermediate Pointe introduces dancers to the fundamentals of pointe work with a strong emphasis on safety, alignment, and strength. Students learn basic barre and center exercises that build the ankle stability, core control, and technique required for more advanced pointe training.
Advanced Pointe challenges dancers with more demanding center work, extended balances, complex turns, and traveling combinations. This class focuses on strength, artistry, and endurance, preparing dancers for advanced choreography, variations, and performance‑level pointe technique.
