1-on-1 Ballet Technique for Pre-Pointe

Moving onto pointe safely takes strength and solid technique. This private course builds the foot, ankle and core strength dancers need, with exercises they can repeat at home between sessions.

The coach checks alignment and relevé control closely and tracks progress each week. Dancers finish stronger and better prepared, and the final check gives clear guidance to share with their regular ballet teacher.

How classes work

Every session is private and paced to the learner. The teacher starts by checking where the learner is, adjusts the plan to their goals and gives detailed feedback in every class.

What we'll cover

• Session 1: Assessment – Check foot strength, ankle alignment and core control.

• Session 2: Foot Strength – Learn exercises that strengthen the feet with resistance bands.
