BALLET

Ballet- A classical dance form that demands grace and precision while employing formalized

 steps and gestures in intricate, flowing patterns to create expression through

POINTE 

Part of classical ballet technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet. Pointe work is performed while wearing pointe shoes, which employ structural reinforcing to distribute the dancer's weight load throughout the foot, thus reducing the load on the toes enough to enable the dancer to support all body weight on fully vertical feet. All pointe students are required to take at least one ballet and one technique class.
