requires 2-3 years of dance training and is for students 10 years and up. In class, students will start with

Pre-Pointe conditioning exercises, targeting strength, flexibility, stability, and articulation of the feet, all

things that a student needs for the transition to Pre-pointe and Pointe. The class will advance with ballet

barre, and center work that includes across the floor exercises. In addition, dancers will continue using

and learning ballet terminology. At this level, students will be challenged technically as the semester and

year progresses, to build upon the basics they already know.

**The Pre-Pointe class is the continuation of the training program for those who would like to dance en

Pointe, and become part of the Advanced Training Program, here at MACC. 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.
