Ladu Pre-Point is an invitation-only ballet program designed for dancers ages 14+ who are ready to begin preparing for pointe work. This class serves as an introduction to the strength, technique, balance, and body awareness required for safe and successful pointe training. Students will build upon their existing ballet foundation while developing the specific skills needed to transition toward pointe shoes. Through focused exercises and technical training, dancers will strengthen their feet, ankles, legs, and core while continuing to refine their ballet technique and artistic expression.

Placement in Pre-Point is determined by the instructor based on each dancer’s technical ability, strength, readiness, and commitment to ballet training. This program is designed to provide dancers with a strong and safe foundation as they work toward beginning pointe.
