Elevate your Pointe Readiness and Pre-Pointe Program
About this Event
This interactive workshop explores current trends in pointe readiness and provides practical strategies for developing a comprehensive pre-pointe program. We'll examine what the latest research tells us about preparing young dancers for pointe and discuss how to translate that evidence into meaningful, studio-based training.
Participants will learn how to assess key components of pointe readiness, structure a season-long pre-pointe program, and implement exercises and progressions that support strength, healthy development, and long-term success. The workshop will also include opportunities for discussion, practical application, and Q&A.
This workshop is designed for ballet teachers, studio owners, and dance educators who work with dancers preparing for pointe.
Whether you're creating a new pre-pointe curriculum or refining an existing program, you'll leave with evidence-informed tools and practical ideas to confidently support your dancers' transition to pointe.
