Pointe Class and Monday Ballet Time Change

From Lindsey...

Monday Ballet Technique will be moved from 8:00 pm to 7:00 pm beginning January 10 so that we can provide a pointe class at the 8:00 pm class.

All B52's are invited to join the pointe class but Phantoms that are interested will need to receive approval from Lindsey to attend the pointe class. It is very important that the student's ankles and feet are strong enough to participate in this class to avoid injury.

Please go to Spells in Green Hills to get fitted for your shoes. Their store hours are Monday - Saturday from 9:00 - 5:00. Avoid buying the following brands:
Russian Pointe, Gayner Munden and Freed.

Also, buy ribbon and toe pads ( we will provide elastic). Lindsey recommends the Ouch Pouches or lambswool toe pads. Make sure to wear your toe pads when trying on the shoes.

Shoes should fit snug and they should feel supportive around the toes. You should have about a fingers width behind your heel.

Please purchase your shoes before attending class.

There is no extra cost for this class. There will be a recital dance and a costume to purchase for this dance from the recital catalogs. We will try to keep this costume below $70. Thanks!
