DAN 325 - Pointe I, 1 credit hour

This beginning level class is designed for students who have gained enough strength and technique to begin their pointe training. The course will cover the correct fit, preparation and care of shoes, and focus on developing the foot and ankle strength required for performing basic pointe work at the barre and eventually, in the center, with emphasis on correct body alignment. Students must get permission from the instructor to enroll, and be registered in another dance technique class during the same semester.

*This course also has a required studio component in addition to regular class times.
