Increase your strength and placement in this pointe class for dancers with intermediate and above ballet level. Most of class will be at the barre, developing strength with options given to those who can support center practice. Note; this session will be preparing a piece to perform in the June year end show. To perform, dancers must attend consistently and be approved by Kathy as being strong enough to perform center work safely. Non-performing dancers are welcome to drop-in or register for the full sessional. We recommend dancers attend 2 or more Ballet classes per week to build and maintain the required strength and technique necessary for Pointe.
