PRE-POINTE
Students learn about pointe shoes and work to develop the strength and articulation of the foot and leg required to achieve success en pointe. This class is open to any Level 4 dancer interested in pursuing pointe. Class will consist of exercises that will work the calves so they are strong enough to support the body en pointe, foot articulation exercises so that the block of the pointe shoe does not hide the beauty of the foot, and balancing adagio exercises to make sure the alignment of the body is centered and secure before rising en pointe. Pre-Pointe classes follow Level 4 classes.

DRESS CODE
As an advanced class, these students are given the freedom to choose their own leotard and skirt, so long as skirts are sheer and no more than mid-thigh length. No leggings or sweaters that cover the waist are allowed, even during warm-up. Students are given dance belts at their first class, which provide contrast at the waist, allowing teachers to tell whether hips are lifted or level even from across the room.
