What is a pre pointe class?

A pre pointe class is the class you take to help you get ready for pointe. Once your teacher thinks your ready for pointe shoes, she will put you on! Whether all of it is at the barre or not, depends on the teacher. When I was in Pre Pointe, my teacher did most of the stuff on barre, but then she had us walk across the floor on demi pointe. To start pointe you should get your feet checked out to see if they are strong enough. When you go on pointe your putting the weight of your body x29 onto your feet. Make sure your teacher approves of you going on pointe before you try. You can start anywhere from when your feet are ready. Pre pointe can be done anytime before that. Hope this was helpful to you!
