Dancing on Pointe

Dancing on pointe!

That is every young dancer’s dream; 

to be a ballerina, twirl and spin on her toes. 

But it is much more difficult that it looks. Before anyone starts dancing on pointe, they need the proper ballet training and preparation. 

I would recommend The Perfect Pointe Book for anyone who is really serious about gaining flexibility and strength and wants to supplement your ballet classes. This is a good book. It's not meant to "replace" your classes, because there is nothing like being taught by a human -- but it is a wonderful tool that will help you with the "why"s" of what you are doing. It helps to make it all make sense -- and that will help any student to improve.

Beginning Ballet Instruction

Most dancers begin their dance training with creative movement and creative dance at a young age. Often at 3 or 4.  But occasionally, someone older will decide to follow their dream of dancing. These  older dancers typically face a dilemma of being in a class of much younger dancers, or in a class with dancers that are far beyond their skill level. The Ballet Bible  is a written by Anita Leembruggen, who started dancing as a teenager. Her guide will help dancers at any level reach a potential that they’ve only dreamed of.
 
It is also helpful to have a barre to work at.
