Pointe Class

Our Pointe classes are designed for our most technically proficient dancers who wish to take their ballet dancing to the next level. Because of the challenging nature of Pointe dancing, students must demonstrate a thorough understanding of proper body alignment and clean ballet technique in order to begin dancing en pointe. Our pointe classes are held separately from the student's ballet class, and the students will work on developing their technique and alignment en pointe while learning classical ballet variations and movements that are specific to pointe.

Student safety is a top priority for all teachers and staff at Adagio Ballet, and because of the challenging nature of pointe work, students will be recommended by their teacher to enter this class and sometimes a doctor's note will be required in order for the student to begin pointe class. A doctor's note will help the teachers at Adagio Ballet to ensure that the students foot, ankle and knees bones, tendons and ligaments are all at a proper stage of development for students to begin pointe.
