Safety in Training

 

Always of paramount importance to us, here at the Classical Ballet School, is to ensure that our students learn the correct and safe way to execute their ballet moves.  This school uses a very "hands-on" teaching method, with close attention to detail.

One of our deep concerns is the frequency with which students have been put on to pointe (toe) before they have sufficient strength throughout the body.  This can, and does lead to injuries, sometimes very serious ones.

Students who have danced incorrectly "en pointe" sometimes come to us, and we take them off pointe and retrain them until their technique is strong and they are truly ready, enabling them to perform beautiful and safe pointework, with much greater confidence.
