ADULT BEGINNER POINTE
ADULT BEGINNER POINTE - START YOUR POINTE WORK JOURNEY HERE
A 30 min class for clients who want to revisit pointe work or who have been invited to progress to beginner pointe class by a Ballet Fusion Instructor.
If you have never done pointe work before, we recommend at least 12 months of ballet fitness classes and a series of Pointe Prep classes before you start these classes. Having said that, everyone’s strength and technique is different so we are happy to spend some time with you (online or in class) to asses your level and advise.
Your instructor will let you know when you are ready to start pointe work. If you bring pointe shoes but have not been invited to dance on pointe, you will not be allowed to wear them in class, sorry.
This class is perfect for you if:
Your instructor has confirmed that you are ready to start pointe work or if you have pointe experience or did pointe work when you were younger and you are keen to rebuild your strength and confidence at the barre.
When?
Online via live-stream and via Private Lessons online and in studio.
Equipment
A chair or something you can use as a barre (not all classes will use a barre)
A mat / rug / comfy flooring for floor work and stretching.
A resistance band for strengthening (not always used)
PLEASE NOTE:
We recommend at least 12 months of ballet fitness classes or a pointe prep course before you start these classes. You will not be invited to go on pointe or advised to purchase any pointe shoes until you have completed a course of Pointe Prep classes.
