This safe introduction to the study of pointe work concentrates on specific exercises designed to promote the strength and understanding of the technical demands required for this specialized area of classical ballet. Students must have attained a minimum of Cecchetti Grade 3 or Standard 4 at a high level and be technically and physically prepared for this work. For the safety and well-being of our students, correct posture, strength, maturity and physical attributes are assessed by the teaching faculty prior to students starting pointe work. Students must also be registered in ballet and Cecchetti classes.
