    Description
    This course covers the elements and rigors necessary to prepare for dancing on pointe. Students will apply conditioning exercises kinesthetically, and will also learn anatomy through lecture on proper physical alignment. Emphasis is on assessing readiness, ensuring that the strength and structure of the body is appropriate for pointe work, lessening the risk of injury in pointe shoes. Students will be required to supply appropriate dance attire and dance shoes, which will incur a fee. The course will be taken in flat ballet shoes. Students may wear pointe shoes with instructor approval only.
