Ballet builds grace, poise, and technique that is the building block of most forms of dance. Ballet classes will help a student with posture, flexibility, balance, grace, strength, and body awareness. In teaching ballet, we foster self confidence and self esteem.
The summer class will include elements from our Pre-Pointe class- invaluable for any ballet dancer! Students do not need to be working towards going en pointe to benefit from a pre-pointe class. Pre-pointe class is good for one's body- it helps improve body alignment and builds foot and ankle strength. Pre-Pointe is a beneficial supplement to any ballet class. Pre-Pointe curriculum will focus on improving foot/knee alignment, turnout, and strengthening feet, Exercises that strengthen the metatarsals and stabilize the ankles will help dancers relevé straight up and down in their shoes, and avoid common mistakes like moving through a dangerous sickled or winged foot that create potential injuries. Students will work on alignment, turnout and strength with exercises that encourage being over the center of the foot, with knees over toes, spines long, with hips and shoulders properly placed. Students will use a Thera-Band for foot and metatarsal flexibility exercises. They will also do abdominal work to strengthen their cores.
Pre-Pointe is a supplement class. Ballet class registration is required.

Beginner Pointe skills will incorporate releve, shaping feet, and building strength and balance. Students will be invited to Pointe with instructor recommendation and are required to register for the summer ballet class.. Pointe is a physically and emotionally demanding art and sport.
