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.
