    Pointe Foundations is an introduction to pointe work for adults. Suitable for those who have done pointe and want to refine the basics, for those who are starting out for the first time or returning to pointe after an injury or a long break. Previous ballet experience of at least a year at an advanced/beginner level required. If you do not yet have pointe shoes, come wearing regular ballet slippers. Always seek the advice of a regular ballet teacher prior to getting pointe shoes.

    This class can be taken in flat shoes as a pre-pointe conditioning class.

    ** Pointe work requires special conditioning exercises for the ankles and feet along with a secure demonstration of classical alignment before starting pointe work. This is to ensure safe practice. Before starting pointe seek the advice of your regular ballet teacher. If you have any questions about class content, starting pointe as an adult etc get in touch with Lisa. Use the form above.
