A student must show strength; mentally and physically, maturity, maintain correct alignment and placement, have the needed knowledge and execution of technique, and meet the Guidelines for Pointe dancing, to gain their first pair of pointe shoes. Guidelines for Pointe, will be emailed to students, once they are placed in this class, so additional training at home can be possible. No student is promised to gain Pointe shoes, but every student controls their own opportunity to advance towards Pointe, by hard work, dedication, and conditioning work in the

studio and at home.
