Pointe work is the dream for many ballet students and one that ballet teachers are lucky enough to assist and support. Helping a student fulfill a dream is what makes teaching worthwhile, but leading a student to safe pointe work is also a great responsibility.
There are a lot of skills and in depth knowledge that teachers need to possess in order to help students to go through this transformation effectively, successfully and with safety. To take on the task for pre-pointe and early pointe training without full knowledge is dangerous to the student both in the present and long term. This course addresses the many safety concerns.
What you'll get in this course:
- There are dozens of exercises demonstrated on real students with explanation and commentary on the purpose and how to cue
- The How and Why of the Creation of the Exercises, so that teachers can develop more of their own to further explore the concepts
- A fully thought out strategy for how to include all the varieties of exercises that are needed for safe and effective pointe training
- Tools and Strategies to help students to become very skilled at noticing and self assessment
- Insights and activities to ensure students can reach their full potential by removing blocks to development
Even with great training in your background, the full scope of pre-pointe and pointe training will not have included the complimentary and essential pieces drawn from outside the dance world and applied to dance by The Radiant Dance Teacher.
This is the ONLY place you will learn these tools as they are NEW to the dance community.
Exciting New Knowledge Guaranteed!
