At Danceworks · $56

Pre-Pointe classes are offered to ballet dancers who are not yet on pointe to further develop and strengthen the muscles necessary to go en pointe. Pre-Pointe classes stress correct alignment and correct classical ballet technique. Pre-Pointe will include exercises in demi pointe to strengthen calf muscles, ankles, and arches of the feet. Exercises will begin at the barre for safety and stability. Dancers will progress to exercises in the center to practice their balance and increase their strength. This class includes work Thera-Band exercises, like pointing and flexing the feet in parallel and turnout. Students work on flexibility by drumming their toes (lifting the toes off the floor and lowering them one at a time), and they do abdominal work to strengthen their core. This class does not perform in the Spring Recital.
