Pointe Work

Once students have reached Grade 6 Ballet, they will begin a programme of strengthening exercises designed to prepare their feet, ankles and core for the demands of pointe work. During this time, each student will be carefully monitored and individually assessed by their class teacher to determine when they are physically ready to begin dancing on pointe.

Students will only be considered for pointe work once they have reached Intermediate Foundation level, ensuring they have developed the technical ability, strength and maturity required. Once assessed as ready, students will then be invited to attend a separate Pointe Work class to continue their training safely and progressively.

This careful approach ensures every dancer begins pointe work at the appropriate stage of their development, helping to promote good technique, confidence and long-term physical wellbeing.
