Preparation for Pointe
Livestream
This interactive, practical 1-hour workshop is for teachers who are progressing students onto working en pointe. Teachers will learn how to appropriately teach exercises in preparation for pointe with a series of progressions from a physiotherapists' perspective.
The aims of this workshop are to:
- Provide teachers an understanding of what is required biomechanically of a body to work en pointe and how this impacts the student
- Use an interactive format to explore the concept of pre-pointe preparation as a whole body
- Demonstrate and teach a series of exercises targeting the core, thoracic area, adductors, gluteals and lower leg
- Enable teachers to gain practical experience of each exercise to utlisie with their students in class
On completion of the course, you will:
- Have an increased understanding of the connection between pointe work and major muscle groups and myofascial chains
- Be able to demonstrate a sequence of exercises to activate the core, lower leg and gluteals
- Be able to layer these exericses into your regular classes
- Understand the timeframes around improvement after the introduction to these exercises
