Dancers Pointe Academy is dedicated to giving students professional formal Classical Ballet and Pointe training as well as the best Jazz, Lyrical and Hip
hop training in the area. Dancers Pointe Academy trains
dancers that are the total package. Student are encouraged to expand their dance studies and training to fulfill their
full potential.
We have a Dancecore Company for dancers that are very committed
and serious about their dance training in all disciplines of dance. These dancers take the Company classes. The Dancecore
Company Program if completed prepares the student for college level dance or the more gifted dancer to pursue a professional
career in one of the disciplines or to be the total package for such opportunities such as "So you think you can Dance"
or a dance company.
We offer a Pre-Professional Classical Ballet Program and
Pre-Professional Jazz/Lyrical for ages 10 and up. It is an 8 year program that the student would
complete at the end of high school. These students take a minimum of 4-6 Ballet/Pointe lessons a week depending on their
age and level if pursuing Classical Ballet. Modern, Character, Partnering, and Variations are also part of the training. Students
focusing on Jazz/Lyrical would take a combination of Classical Ballet, Jazz and Lyrical. The program is to prepare the student
to begin a professional career when completed. The students in this program would also audition and attend summer programs and workshops beginning at age 12. This program is by an audition
process only.
We
also offer a program for dancers that want to lightly experience the art of dance or are beginners. The Children's Program (Hip
Hop and Lyrical) is for ages 6-9. Ages 6-9 take the individual classes of Ballet and Jazz. At age 10, you must
commit to the required number of Ballet and Jazz lessons for your age and level or start The Youth Program for Ballet
and Jazz. The Youth Ballet Program consists of Ballet,
Jazz, Lyrical and Hip Hop is for ages 10-13 and
The Teen Program (Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical and Hip Hop) is for ages 14-18.
Each student should strive to attain her or his own personal goal. We guide our dancers in
deciding what is the right path for the student and their family.
Students begin in the Dance Discovery class or Princess Ballerina/Ballet Prince class.
Dance Discovery is a creative movement lesson of Pre-Ballet, Pre-Jazz, Tap and Tumbling for ages 3-5. Princess Ballerina/Ballet Prince is only Pre-Ballet for ages 3-5. These lessons lay the foundation preparing dancers to progress
to each new level taught in a fun but disciplined approach. Ballerina Babies is a Creative Movement class for ages 2-3. Mommy and Me classes are
for mommy to share in the dance class with their child. This class is for ages 18 months to 30 months.
Combination lessons are your choice of any of the combinations Ballet, Jazz
and Tap for ages 5-8. These classes are a transition
class from Dance Discovery or Princess Ballerina/Ballet Prince to the individual lessons. Combination classes can also
be a starting class for beginner students ages 5-8.
Individual lessons are recommended for students in first grade or higher that are more
serious about dance. This allows more time spent on each discipline and a greater focus on proper technique. Individual
lessons are also for students that want to focus or are only interested in one discipline.
Adult
classes are for beginner students to advanced dancers.
The class is taught with two lesson plans; one for the beginner, and an advanced option for the more experienced dancer.
This class is for ages 18 and up.
The dance year begins in September and ends in June with a Recital. Students audition for roles to perform The
Nutcracker or Christmas/Holiday Performance every even year. We have a "Themed" Recital the even
years. The odd years we share dance with the community during the Holiday season and have a formal Ballet
in the Recital.
Dancers Pointe Academy is a new school that began in 2007. Each year
our school and dancers have grown in many amazing positive ways. Come grow with us!
