Pre-Pointe 2 (Begin Pointe in Jan) (A) (Chinese P1&3)
2 classes per week required. For TEENS Dancers are not permitted to wear pointe shoes until they are 12 years old to protect their developing bones and muscles. This is the year that students will receive their pointe shoe recommendation letter, typically mid-season. They will spend the summer and first half of the season building additional strength in feet and ankles for Pointe shoes, increasing their stamina and understanding of pointe technique. When they are strong enough, and have passed our pointe strength tests, they will receive a letter of recommendation and a special invitation to purchase pointe shoes. We will have a class pointe shoe fitting in the studio and Mrs Rachael will fit each dancer personally to ensure the best fit. The entire class will begin pointe together at the same time and will begin a specialized program that we have developed to help them to gain strength safely in their new pointe shoes. Please do not purchase pointe shoes on your own. No one will be permitted to begin early. We follow a set program that requires a minimum of 12 weeks at the barre in their pointe shoes before students are permitted to perform simple exercises in the center on pointe.
Excellent attendance is expected and makeup classes are required for each absence to maintain strength and technique. If attendance requirements are not met, dancers will not be permitted to receive their pointe recommendation letter or wear pointe shoes.
The attire for this class is a black leotard in a style of your choice, short sheer black skirt if desired, or short black dance shorts, pink convertible tights with a hole in the arch of the foot, pink leather or stretch canvas split-sole ballet slippers. Hair should be pulled back in a bun if possible.
For all new pre-pointe age students a placement class is required to determine the appropriate level.
Additional Conditioning classes, PBT, Turns and Leaps, and Partnering classes are recommended to enhance training and strength to prepare for pointe.

Advanced Partnering
Partnering/Pas de deux classes
In ballet, a pas de deux (French, literally "step of two") is a dance duet in which two dancers, typically a male and a female, perform ballet steps together. Partnering classes are an important part of the training for our male and female dancers.
Partnering 3 Audition ONLY - Co-ed
This is an advanced partnering class that assumes all fundamentals are mostly mastered. Students in this class will learn professional-level choreography throughout the year. In this class students will be thrown into the deep end and have high expectations to work on their personal strength and ballet technique outside of class.

This is the year that students will receive their pointe shoe recommendation letter, typically mid-season. They will spend the summer and first half of the season building additional strength in feet and ankles for Pointe shoes, increasing their stamina and understanding of pointe technique. When they are strong enough, and have passed our pointe strength tests, they will receive a letter of recommendation and a special invitation to purchase pointe shoes. We will have a class pointe shoe fitting in the studio and Mrs Rachael will fit each dancer personally to ensure the best fit. The entire class will begin pointe together at the same time and will begin a specialized program that we have developed to help them to gain strength safely in their new pointe shoes. Please do not purchase pointe shoes on your own. No one will be permitted to begin early. We follow a set program that requires a minimum of 12 weeks at the barre in their pointe shoes before students are permitted to perform simple exercises in the center on pointe.
Excellent attendance is expected and makeup classes are required for each absence to maintain strength and technique. If attendance requirements are not met, dancers will not be permitted to receive their pointe recommendation letter or wear pointe shoes.
The attire for this class is a black leotard in a style of your choice, short sheer black skirt if desired, or short black dance shorts, pink convertible tights with a hole in the arch of the foot, pink leather or stretch canvas split-sole ballet slippers.

Pre-Pointe 2 (Begin Pointe in Jan) (B) (Gingerbread P1&3)
2 classes per week required. Must be 12 before January 1st. Dancers are not permitted to wear pointe shoes until they are 12 years old to protect their developing bones and muscles. This is the year that students will receive their pointe shoe recommendation letter, typically mid-season. They will spend the summer and first half of the season building additional strength in feet and ankles for Pointe shoes, increasing their stamina and understanding of pointe technique. When they are strong enough, and have passed our pointe strength tests, they will receive a letter of recommendation and a special invitation to purchase pointe shoes. We will have a class pointe shoe fitting in the studio and Mrs Rachael will fit each dancer personally to ensure the best fit. The entire class will begin pointe together at the same time and will begin a specialized program that we have developed to help them to gain strength safely in their new pointe shoes. Please do not purchase pointe shoes on your own. No one will be permitted to begin early. We follow a set program that requires a minimum of 12 weeks at the barre in their pointe shoes before students are permitted to perform simple exercises in the center on pointe.
Excellent attendance is expected and makeup classes are required for each absence to maintain strength and technique. If attendance requirements are not met, dancers will not be permitted to receive their pointe recommendation letter or wear pointe shoes.
The attire for this class is a black leotard in a style of your choice, short sheer black skirt if desired, or short black dance shorts, pink convertible tights with a hole in the arch of the foot, pink leather or stretch canvas split-sole ballet slippers. Hair should be pulled back in a bun if possible.
For all new pre-pointe age students a placement class is required to determine the appropriate level.
Additional Conditioning classes, PBT, Turns and Leaps, and Partnering classes are recommended to enhance training and strength to prepare for pointe.
