Participating students are expected to commit to weekly attendance in Adult/ Teen Pre Pointe and weekly attendance in at least one other Open Ballet class during the week. Options for Open Ballet include Tuesday’s Intro to Ballet, Wednesday’s Beginner Ballet or Intermediate Ballet, and Saturday’s Intermediate/ Advanced Ballet. 

Dancers can expect to work on building the strength and stability needed to be in pointe shoes. Dancers are not expected to have pointe shoes already and pointe shoes should not be worn for this class. At the end of the semester, Students with an 85% attendance rate in both Pre Pointe and Open Ballet will be eligible for a pointe shoe readiness evaluation to see if you're ready for your first pair. *Students who have previous experience en Pointe may participate in this class as a foundations refresher.
