Classical Ballet
Our classic ballet class consists of several segments, usually: barre, center, adagio, allegro, and reverence. The components of our basic ballet class are consistent throughout most of the world. Every ballet class begins at the barre. Dancers use the support of the barre to work through exercises one side of their body at a time.

Pointe
Experience of ballet is essential. You need to be able to do all the steps on demi pointe before you can go onto full pointe. Your teacher can advise you if you are keen to learn. We recommend completing at least one full Ballet Beginners course before trying pointe. We also recommend continuing your ballet classes while you train in pointe to expand your knowledge, skill, and vocabulary, especially if ballet is still new to you.
Confidence and strength are key. To be able to support yourself "en pointe," you need strong feet and ankles. In particular the small group of muscles in the ball of your feet alongside your metatarsus bones. The idea is that you can rise in demi pointe and then use the strength in your feet, ankles and toes to pull you up on to full pointe, balancing your toes inside the shoe.
