Juniors Modern Ballet Pointe and Conditioning Class
Page Navigation
Overview
Since August 2022 we’ve been offering our Junior Conservatoire dance students the opportunity to participate in weekly conditioning classes. This course is specifically designed to support dancers in training and will be open to all Modern Ballet levels as well as primary 7 Pre-Junior Conservatoire students.
Pointe and conditioning classes are particularly beneficial to young dancers as they focus on strengthening, developing coordination and stability, balance and alignment as well as optimising flexibility. Students can already be dancing en pointe or preparing for pointe work.
Classes will take place on a Friday evening from 5.30pm – 6.30pm at our purpose built dance studios.
