Pre-Pointe exercises you can do at home for all ballet students...

Turn out range, strength, core control - these are only a few things you need an awareness of to successfully start pointe work!

This short video should help with ankle stabilisation, strength and foot articulation.

- perform in bare feet for stronger awareness of articulation in the feet

- aim for smooth transitions between movements

- perform en pointe once confident

- I recommended 3 months of barre before attempting centre work

- don't forget the accessory work at the end!

ALWAYS consult with your ballet teacher prior to purchasing pointe shoes.
