Stefania, Coppelia Masterclass, Oct 2019
A class specifically designed for those who those who are preparing for pointe work, completely new to Pointe work or keen to keep working on foundational pointe technique. Start or progress your pointe work in an appropriately paced class. A key focus of these lessons is helping dancers to identify their personal development areas, manage their hypermobility and prevent injury.
Lessons will begin with pre-pointe exercises which develop ankle strength, stability and establish correct placement. The pointe exercises will predominantly focus on warm-up exercises and beginner barre work. We will gradually progress to basic centre exercises. Exercises can always be modified or adapted to suit different levels of experience.
[Please note, participants should have been taking ballet for a minimum of a year, have an active weekly ballet practice and should seek teacher approval to attend this class. Pointe shoes should have been professionally fitted, though are not a pre-requisite for attendance].

LBC dancers, Acosta Dance Centre, September 2024
These lessons are designed for students who who have acquired a solid foundation in their pointe work and are looking to progress their practice. These classes will refine your existing skills and help you to tackle slightly more challenging exercises at the barre and in the centre. Combinations will be longer and more complex than our introductory pointe classes. We will work on executing centre choreography, travelling sequences and work towards pirouettes.
We know advancing your pointe work can be daunting. This class provides a nurturing and supportive space where we encourage you to venture beyond your comfort zone in a safe way.
[Please note, participants should be have substantial prior pointe experience and should seek approval from LBC to attend this class]
