Pre-pointe and pointe classes are offered for those students who show a keen interest in continuing their ballet studies. Pointe students are required to attend a minimum of two ballet classes per week, in order to gain the necessary strength, alignment, technique and endurance for the demands of pointe work.
The Dance Academy is thrilled to be embarking on our thirteeth season of dance in St. John’s. The Dance Academy was established in 2009 with the vision of providing quality dance instruction where students can learn the art of dance while enhancing social skills and self esteem.
We strive to provide every child with movement experiences which are meaningful and enjoyable, while enhancing motor skill development, social skills and an overall focus on an active, healthy lifestyle.
Cecchetti Method Exam classes are offered as well. Students should wear a bodysuit (any colour and style) pink or white rights and pink ballet slippers. Ballet skirts and shorts are optional. Hair should be worn in a bun.
A candidate for pointe work is determined by ankle strength, foot alignment and overall ballet technique.
This maximizes personalized attention and quality instruction. All classes are once a week, with the exception of Christmas and March Break. We are open on all holiday Mondays except for Family Day.
Once students enter grade 1 at school they proceed into 45 minute to 60 minute classes. More focus is placed on proper technique and execution. We continue to maintain age appropriate music and movement for all age levels.
Inspired From Ballet And Exercises At The Barre, This Class Will Allow You To Work Your Active Flexibility And Tone Your Overall Muscles, As Well As Improve Your Posture And Alignment.
