POINTE

Part of the classical ballet technique in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet with pointe shoes. Pointe work is a very demanding lesson and is only offered to the older end of the school as the feet must be fully developed to avoid injury.

DINKY DANCE

This class helps develop good posture, balance and self awareness as well as building confidence, focus and social skills. Most importantly this class helps to teach the basic skills required for dance in a fun relaxed setting before moving into a more structured but still fun class as they begin school.
