Preparatory Pointe/Pointe
Preparatory Pointe provides specific stretching and strengthening exercises tailored to preparing the student for pointe work.
​
All students who enter the Classical Ballet stream, must complete preparatory pointe classes, and be given an assessment by a trained Physiotherapist.
Once they have passed this assessment, they may purchase pointe shoes and take part in pointe lessons.
