Adult Open Ballet & Beginning Pointe

About this event

This course will begin with a 60-minute ballet technique class followed by 30 minutes of pointe preparation and beginning pointe work fundamentals. During the Fall Semester, the focus will be on pre-pointe training to build the strength, alignment, and technical foundations needed for a safe and successful transition to pointe work. In the Spring Semester, the class will transition into pointe work, building upon the strength, confidence, and technical skills developed throughout the fall. Dancers new to pointe should contact Eileen Frazer at efrazer@balletmemphis.org or Jessica “Jaye” Mackinson at Jmackinson@balletmemphis.org after registration for pointe shoe fitting information and course requirements. All genders are welcome to participate. Due to the progressive nature of this course, we recommend that dancers attend all or most sessions to receive the full benefit of the training.
