Pointe:At teacher's discretion
Pointe work is for the experienced ballet dancer as an extension of their ballet training. Ballet students are generally ready to start pointe work after achieving competency in fundamental ballet technique. Before starting pointe a dancer must be able to maintain turnout while demonstrating center exercises. They must also be able to pull up properly in the legs and balance securely in relevé. Typically, years of training and practice are required to develop the strength and technique needed for pointe work. Pointe work is held to the discretion of the teacher. The dress code for pointe is the same as ballet except pointe shoes are needed.
