All About Pointe at UDA

Pointe is recommended for serious ballet students who consider continuing ballet in higher education or as a career. Pointe is for dancers who have three years of classical training and have completed the pre-pointe class. Dancers will receive permission to advance to the beginning-advanced pointe levels per evaluation and approval from their teacher.

In Pre Pointe, exercises are used to build overall strength, flexibility and proper shape in the feet. Dancers must be in the 5th grade to start pre-pointe. This class does not participate in the UDA Spring Recital.

*In order to participate in pre pointe or pointe, dancers must be enrolled in a classical ballet pair.
