Teachers: Rethinking Pointe training for spectacular results
About
After observing Mariah-Jane working with the dancers during the student course from 9.00am to 11.30am, teachers will then stay on and join us for an additional special Dance Teachers' Q&A Session from 11.45am to 12.45pm, where we’ll challenge outdated approaches and reveal what truly prepares a dancer for pointe work. This session will address the most common misconceptions in pre-pointe training and offer practical insights you can bring back to your studio right away.We’ll explore the Top 3 Mistakes commonly made by teachers and students alike:
1. Over-focusing on Strength Alone
2. Isolating Calf Strength
3. Focusing Only on the Body, Not the Dancer
This Q&A offers a chance to rethink your approach to pre-pointe training—so it becomes not just a checklist, but a truly empowering rite of passage for your students.
Bring your questions and walk away with a more holistic, functional, and dancer-centered
framework.
