IN PERSON: Ballet (Pointe)
with Kathy Mata

This class focuses on pointe work for dancers of all levels, whether en pointe or demi-pointe. Class begins with barre work designed to strengthen your foundations in classical ballet, emphasizing proper alignment, placement, and engagement. The barre work is designed with pointe work in mind, allowing you to safely develop strength and balance in all positions en pointe and demi-pointe. 

We then move to center to translate barre work to combinations on the floor. Center work focuses on adagio and pirouettes, allowing dancers to gain confidence and explore their artistry. 

Please wear dance or athletic clothing designed for movement and ballet slippers or pointe shoes. Make sure to secure your hair. If you do not own ballet shoes, socks are recommended.
