Pointe work is an essential skill required for ballet dancers heading towards vocational grades and professional status. It is important that pupils contemplating pointe work are both mature and physically strong enough to attempt the complex skill to avoid injury. That is why at “Cheneler School of Dance” we take great time and care in teaching our students pointe work, guaranteeing their safety and gradual progression, developing strength and technique.

To aid pointe work it is important to increase core strength and complete foot exercises for supple and mobile feet, allowing an effective technique to be established.

We have introduced Body Conditioning alongside Pointe Work to create an effective and enjoyable class as are pupils take their first exciting steps as ballerinas.
