Pointe Work
Rising onto pointe, when the foot is ready.
Dance classes in Nantes
Rising onto pointe, when the foot is ready.
Pointe is not decided by age. It calls for a strong foot and a well-placed back: Alexandra will tell you when the time is right, generally not before 11 or 12, and always after an individual assessment.
From there everything is built step by step: rising, lowering, holding, then turning.
The right time slot depends on age and level. One call is all it takes to find yours.
Or write to us, the first class is free.

Before you come
Classical attire and pointe shoes. Do not buy pointe shoes before Alexandra's approval: the model is chosen after assessing the foot.
A sub-discipline of classical ballet
Inseparable from the classical class
Pointe work is done alongside the classical class, never instead of it: it is the barre and placement that make pointe possible.
