Pointe
Pointe classes will be held after ballet class on Saturdays. Students must receive approval from Ms. Yang or Ms. Galdy to register for this class. This class is suited for students with a minimum of three years of pointe work and offers barre and center work. Students are required to take the ballet class prior to the pointe class.
Levels in the Adult Ballet Program are finely tuned for maximum progress and taught by professional teachers. Emphasis is placed on:
• Developing pure clean technique
• Quality of movement, movement theory, and musicality
• Developing a better understanding of classical music, rhythm, and tempo
• Developing a better understanding of ballet technique and terminology
- Beginning Intermediate: Recommended for adults with 18 months of classical ballet experience. This class will focus on refining basic ballet technique while introducing more advanced steps at the barre and center.
- Intermediate: Recommended for students with a minimum of two years of classical ballet experience. This class will continue to focus on the use of proper posture and alignment while introducing more complex combinations, concentrating on the use and coordination of arms and head.
- Advanced Intermediate: Recommended for students with a minimum four years of classical ballet technique. This class will offer complex combinations at the barre and center focusing on both artistry and technique.
- Pointe: Students must get approval from Ms. Yang or Ms. Galdy to register for this class. This class is suited for students with a minimum of three years of pointe work and will offer barre and center work. Students are required to take the ballet class prior to the pointe class.
- Ballet Conditioning: There is no level of ballet required for this class; however any level can benefit from a greater understanding of “turn out and alignment.” This class will offer exercises to strengthen muscles used in ballet. Turn out or external rotation, an essential part of ballet, is explained with various exercises that strengthen the muscles involved as well as ways to find the muscles. This is not a ballet class. Some ballet steps will be used as well as other types of movement (for example: yoga, Pilates, and other strengthening exercises). Ms. Marvel will teach Progressing Ballet Technique.
