The majority of the time spent in this class is at the barre. The curriculum allows ample time to help students build the strength and alignment necessary for pointe work. It also helps instructors assess readiness, which lessens the risk of injury once students are in their shoes. This class can be taken on flat or in pointe shoes at the instructor's discretion. Instructor: Christina Muñoz Madsen

Majority of this class will be taught at the barre as students learn balance and weight distribution while gaining strength.
