PRE POINTE INTERACTIVE SERIES

A series of four workshops designed specifically to prepare your students to safely progress to dancing en pointe. One of our qualified and experienced dance podiatrists will come to your studios to conduct these workshops at a mutually convenient time. 

Ideally, these can be conducted once a term in the year leading up to commencing pointe work, but can be conducted at a time that suits the needs of your students. We like to limit these workshops to a maximum of 10 students, although we can discuss and modify this to your individual needs.

In these workshops we will cover:

Workshop 1

  • Foot structure, posture and identify any risk factors with this

  • Basic foot and ankle strength, range of motion and quality of movement

  • Identification of technique issues that may hinder the progression to pointe

Workshop 2

  • Strengthening exercises and general core strength

  • Isolation of intrinsic foot muscles

  • Improving pointe range

Workshop 3

  • Calf Rises for improving lower leg strength and endurance

  • Further technique development on the intrinsic foot muscles

  • Improving turnout

Workshop 4

  • Consolidating requirements for pointe work

  • Preparing for a pre pointe assessment

On the completion of the pre-pointe interactive series, The Dance Clinic at Highett Podiatry will conduct a “one on one” pre pointe assessment in the clinic at a special reduced consultation cost of 50% off the scheduled fee.
