Ballet & Pointe

Ballet is a classical dance form characterized by grace, precision of movement and by elaborate formal gestures, steps, and poses. It is the foundation for all dance forms. Classes typically begin at the barre, progress to center and across the floor combinations, and may periodically incorporate a special ballet stretching class called a floor barre. Correct Ballet terminology is stressed as is proper alignment, classical technique, and musicality. Students are allowed to enroll in Pointe classes by invitation only.
