Pointe (Level 1) - Cotham School / TERM 6️⃣

About the Class Teacher: Eleanor Lang A 7-week course, introducing dancers from the Intermediate or Intermediate/Advanced ballet classes (or dancers from other groups with minimum 3 years recent ballet experience), to Pointe work! This class is your first step on your Pointe journey - where the focus will be on building ankle strength and developing technique at the barre. We'd suggest bringing a resistance band to class. And we can help you with the process of buying your first pair of pointe shoes! To make sure you're properly warmed up for Pointe each week, you'll also need to sign up for the 7.05pm Intermediate ballet class each Wednesday (we can't allow anyone en pointe if they've not already taken the ballet class that evening). Intermediate ballet leads straight into Pointe. This is a full 7 week course (as opposed to a drop in class), that requires dancers to attend every week to develop the consistency and strength needed in pointe work. Generally, we’d recommended at least 3 years ballet experience before a dancer tries pointe. If you’re not sure on your level, drop us an email (hello@aedancefitness.com) and we can chat about it! And because safety is so important here, Eleanor may make personal recommendations for individuals, guiding them towards additional ballet training before continuing on their pointe journey.
