Pointe A is a one semester class open to students who have been invited to progress from the Intro to Point class. It is usually made up of Épaulement students. This class is the beginning of an elementary pointe curriculum roughly following the Cecchetti Method of classical ballet instruction. Practically speaking, this means that Pointe A students will build on the pointe shoe basics they learned in Intro to Pointe by starting to do real ballet steps on pointe.
Pointe A students must take the Tuesday and Thursday 6:30 ballet technique classes as well as the Wednesday rehearsal class.
