Pre-Pointe

This class is preparation for students seeking to study Pointe.  Emphasis will be placed on strengthening the core, developing center of balance, and reinforcing correct foot and ankle positioning to a safe and successful transition to pointe work.  There is only one level of Pre-Pointe.  Pre-Pointe must be taken in conjunction with a standard ballet class, traditionally Ballet 3.  Students may not advance to Pointe without instructor approval.  Pre-Pointe classes do not perform in the annual recital.

Quote Marks
"I really love recital because it's a big show where everyone at TDC comes together to perform all of our dances. It's also just a really fun opportunity to perform your dance in front of an audience and to also see other people's dances. It really shows all of the hard work that goes into every single dance."
