Pointe Assessments

Pointe work is demanding and is an extension to your ballet training. Because of the physical risk involved in dancing on pointe we require you to book an assessment. Your teacher will ask you about your history of ballet and pointe training and then watch you dance some simple barre and centre exercises to assess your technique. They will then work with you on any of your issues; alignment, strength, flexibility, and give you a series of individualized exercises to ensure you are on the right track. If you are not quite ready for pointe shoes they will make sure you know exactly what you need to know to achieve your pointe goals. If you are ready, they will talk to you about what to look for in a shoe, where to buy them and any additional information about your feet that you might need at your first pointe shoe fitting.

If you are experienced in pointe we still request that you book an assessment. You will learn something about your dancing that will assist you in your progress and she will let you know if you have any old/bad habits that don’t serve you anymore and how to let go of them. The teacher can also look at your current shoes and make sure they are still working for you. Injury prevention is at the heart of all our assessments.
