Ballet is a graceful dance form set to music, characterized by precise and formalized steps and movements. It blends traditional poses with elegant, flowing figures like leaps and turns. As the cornerstone of all dance styles, ballet serves as the essential foundation for many other forms of dance.
Pointe, a specialized branch of ballet, involves dancing on the tips of the toes using specific pointe shoes. This style focuses on developing strength in the feet, ankles, legs, and core. Before starting a pointe class, you’ll need to be evaluated by Miss Megan or your ballet teacher to ensure readiness.
