Description: This class focuses on building the muscles and specific technique necessary to begin training for pointe. Students must also be enrolled and attend an additional ballet class. Bone development is taken into consideration when placing students en pointe so dancers must be at least 13 years old before going en pointe. Students should expect to participate in 1-4 sessions of Pointe Prep before being considered for Pointe. It is important to note that every dancer is different and that proper bone development and muscle strength will be a main factor in the placement decision over age or participation. Under no circumstance should students purchase pointe shoes until instructed to do so. Level II is by permission only. Dancers should wear pink ballet shoes, leotard, skirt or dance shorts, and convertible or footless tights (optional). (KD)

Notes:
Summer dance classes are scheduled to begin virtually and then possibly move into in-person classes, if and when it is allowed and safe. Zoom information will be emailed at least 24 hours before the first scheduled class. Please contact KDonahue@ahpd.org if you have not received Zoom information the day before class is scheduled to begin.
