This class is preparation for students seeking to study Pointe.  Emphasis will be placed on strengthening the core, developing center of balance, and reinforcing correct foot and ankle positioning to a safe and successful transition to pointe work.  There is only one level of Pre-Pointe.  Pre-Pointe must be taken in conjunction with a standard ballet class, traditionally Ballet 3.  Students may not advance to Pointe without instructor approval.  Pre-Pointe classes do not perform in the annual recital.

Quote Marks
"I love that we get to tell classic stories like The Wizard of Oz and The Little Mermaid through dance. I love that we mix it up and do all kind of styles and really get creative with it. These productions are really where that family bond comes from, because we spend countless hours together on the weekends but it’s always so fun. I also think that the WWPDC productions are what make TDC so unique; you’re really never going to fun shows like ours anywhere else and that’s what I love about them!"
