Pointe

Dancers must show good progress, physical strength and mental focus, as well as being at least eleven years old and studying classical ballet for at least two years regardless of age, before they can be considered for pointe. All pointe students start in a beginning pointe class specifically aimed at developing strength and technical ability on pointe. In order to take this class and subsequent levels of pointe, dancers must be enrolled in at least one other ballet technique class at The Dance Place. The best progress has been noted in students taking more than two classes a week.
