Ballet Point G5+ (13 - 45yrs)

our syllabus structure. It is designed to bridge the gap between classical soft-shoe technique and advanced pointe work. Syllabus Progression: Prepares dancers for higher examination grades where pointe work becomes a compulsory element of the marking criteria. Targeted Conditioning: Focuses on strengthening the feet, ankles, calves, and core, while developing correct alignment and weight distribution necessary to support body weight safely on pointe. Technique & Safety: Emphasises proper foot articulation, balance, and control to prevent injury and foster confidence before progressing to full pointe shoes. Enrolment Requirements Due to the intense physical demands and strength required for safe pointe work, enrolment is subject to strict co-requisite rules: Grade Co-requisite: Dancers must be actively enrolled in and attending Grade 5 Ballet. Dancers in Grade 4 or lower are strictly unable to take this class due to the physical strength and developmental prerequisites required. Maturity & Readiness: Placement in this class acknowledges that the student has shown the focus, discipline, and bodily awareness necessary for safe pointe preparation. Ongoing Expectations & Commitment Pointe work requires consistent dedication. To maintain a place in this preparation class, dancers must adhere to the following ongoing standards: Expectation Requirement Details Attendance High, uninterrupted attendance in both Grade 5 Classical Ballet and Pointe Class. Reliability Arriving on time, dressed in proper attire, and ready to focus for every session. Commitment Demonstrating continuous effort, self-discipline, and application of corrections across all classes. Failure to maintain consistent attendance or effort in the core Grade 5 Classical Ballet class may result in the student being asked to pause their pointe preparation training.
