BALLET SCHEDULE
POINTE SCHEDULE
Beginner Pointe
Dancers usually begin pointe work in Level 3. Student should not be purchasing pointe shoes until speaking with the artistic directors. It is to the detriment of the dancer if pointe work is attempted too early. Dancers will be notified when the artistic directors feel that the dancer possesses the strength, technique, and maturity that is required for pointe. Initial pointe show purchases must be approved by one of the directors before elastics and ribbons are sewn.
