Adults are welcome to train in pointe class regardless of their experience, but must be patient about progress – pointe shoes may only be purchased and practiced in once the teacher deems it safe.
Pointe is the only subsection of ballet that is not included in the Recreational Ballet classes. It requires its own course of strength and balance training and can be quite strenuous on the foot and ankle.

Besides the prospect of dancing on pointe, this class is a great opportunity to strengthen the knees and ankles, activate the core, and improve body alignment. This makes it a great complement to the ballet class, or a fantastic wellness class on its own.
Dance Alive Studios was created in the summer of 2017 to meet the changing needs of adult dancers in the Saskatoon community. Caelia Gardiner, the owner and Artistic Director of DAS, developed the adult dance program at Juliette’s Dance Centre from 2011 to 2017.
This program has become unique in the field – it provides aspiring adult dancers with progressive levels of focused training at their desired level. Recreational dance is the common stream, but more intense training opportunities are available upon request (group and solo competition, examination, teacher training, etc.).
Our Ballet program follows The Royal Academy of Dancing (R.A.D.) syllabus.The classes incorporate the traditional study of classical ballet with free movement and character dance.
Ballet classes are offered by Clark Dance Production. Our recreational programming classes are all taught by experienced, adult instructors with extensive training and education in the field of dance instruction! We take pride in providing quality dance classes for all levels!
Just as the toddler stage passes, this class is specifically designed for the milestone of 3 year olds.
This class will further develop skills and strengthen the necessary muscles and technique to pursue enrolling in future pointe classes.
Pointe does not begin at any specific age or level, but depends on the strength of students. It is a technique associated with Ballet that involves balance and being able to support all of your weight on the tips of fully extended feet.
