Pointe

Cape Cod Dance Center offers Pointe classes to students in level 4B through level 6. The initiation of pointe training for dance students should be determined after careful evaluation of a number of factors. These include: the dance student’s stage of physical development; the quality of her abdominal and pelvic control (“core” stability); the alignment of her legs (hip-knee-ankle-foot); the strength and flexibility of her feet and ankles; and the duration and frequency of her dance training.

Students usually begin pointe training at age 12. Cape Cod Dance Center requires that all students who wish to dance on pointe take part in a minimum of three classical ballet classes weekly.
