Pointe (Ages 11-Teens) All Levels

This class must be taken in conjunction with Ballet class. Instructors will evaluate students before placing them en pointe. NewDance instructors will also assist/advise at first pointe shoe fitting. See “General Information” for class pre-requisite.

Class Pre-Requisite

All students in any Pointe class must have the approval of the NewDance Ballet Director. First-year Pointe students will take class in specially designed "pre-pointe" shoes or ballet slippers.

To ensure the saftey of the student, all dancers who are attending Pointe class in pointe shoes must be attending two Ballet Technique classes per week. This helps ensure that the muscles are strong enough for the rigorous physical demands of point work.
