There is so much that goes into training before you ever get your pointe shoes! We use these tests as a baseine to check a student’s readiness for pointe shoes. These are things our students are encouraged to practice at home to prepare for pointe shoes. But the main thing is taking as many ballet classes as possible! A ballet class is specifically designed to improve all areas. #ballet #pointeshoes #shoes #ballerina #pointe #test #prepointe #dance #dancer

Replying to @ADHD_SLP Here is a demonstration of a pass vs fail for the pointe shoe test for mobility. As we know, there is a comprehensive test to check multiple different areas needed to provide a safe pointe shoe experience such as mobility, strength, maturity, etc. #pointe #ballet #teacher #ankle #ballerina #flexible #flexibility #dancer #test #pointeshoes #balletdancer #teaching #instructor #tips
These will help your leap in second and toe touches. Build strength, coordination, and functional flexibility. Do these exercises as many time as you can while holding proper positioning and placement. #toetouch #leapinsecond #dancer #dance #teacher #teachers #class #ballet #studio #tips #tricks #exercises
