Pointe

Pointe technique is the part of classical ballet technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet within pointe shoes. A dancer is said to be en pointe when the dancer's body is supported in this manner, and a fully extended vertical foot is said to be en pointe when touching the floor, even when not bearing weight.

Pointe technique resulted from a desire for dancers to appear weightless and sylph-like. Extensive training and practice are required to develop the strength and technique needed for pointe work hence we have classes dedicated to this highly skilled technique. This beautiful technique is performed within our shows.
