Pointe (Int/Adv)

About this class

Pre Pointe Class Breakdown- Warm up exercises facing the barre, including rolling through the feet, finding articulation through demi pointe up to full pointe, relevés, elevés, pas de bourres, sous sous, and échappe. We then progress to left hand on the barre and work on piques, échappes from all positions, and finding our balance in different positions. All of these barre exercises are slowly allowing the dancer to strengthen the necessary muscles to work on pointe safely in the center. Dancers split in two groups: one group that does not yet work in the center on pointe, and dancers working on pointe work away from the barre. Those in the first group are given a series of theraband exercises to perform for the duration of class. Those in the center will work on the steps we worked on at the barre without a barre. We then progress on to chaines, bourreés, and other basic center steps en pointe. Studio Policies - Ages 12 and over - All classes are INT/ADV-Professional levels only.
