Pointe & Music Dance Academy

Experienced Teacher

Comprehensive Class

Award-Winning

These courses introduce students to the fundamentals of ballet, beginning with basic techniques and rhythms that foster musicality and joy in dancing. Early levels emphasize coordination, posture, and alignment while developing flexibility and strength. Students explore self-expression through mime, performance, and choreography, building confidence and artistry. As they progress, movements become more complex with the introduction of turning steps, beaten steps, and demi-pointe work, requiring greater strength, control, and responsiveness. The focus expands to include elevation, spatial awareness, dynamics, and presentation, laying a strong foundation for advanced levels.

 

At higher levels, students refine their technical skills while enhancing their musical phrasing, dynamics, and performance quality. Pointe work, choreography, and national dance styles are introduced, encouraging adaptability and versatility. Intermediate and advanced levels prepare students for professional performance or teacher training, emphasizing stamina, interpretation, and projection. These stages challenge students to demonstrate artistry and technical accuracy in both set and unrehearsed work, culminating in performance-length dances that showcase their mastery.
