For Dancers 12+ Years Old
Pointe class concentrates on the transference of ballet steps from demi-pointe to pointe and is introduced only when a dancer has developed sufficient strength in the feet and legs necessary for this discipline.
To avoid injury to the feet, students must be 12 years old or older and have 3 years of prior Ballet training as a pre-requisite. A Ballet Class must be taken concurrently with the Pointe Class (to be assigned). Additionally, proper alignment is required to go up on pointe. Please contact us to schedule an evaluation.
One pointe routine will be taught per year, per class. The dance year culminates with a memorable recital routine at the beautiful State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ! Pointe classes at Rising Stars are available by age and levels of ability. We offer recreational, pre-competition and competition pointe classes.
