Resources for Pre-Pointe Assessments
Transition To Pointe Handbook
Our Transition To Pointe Handbook is designed to help students and parents and dance teachers understand everything there is to know when transitioning from demi ballet shoes to en pointe. This handbook delves into what to expect during the pre-pointe process, along with tips and tricks to assist your dancer.
Teacher Guide
Our Pre-Pointe Assessment Guide for Teachers is designed to support dance educators in understanding the assessment process and how it aligns with safe, progressive pointe preparation.
The guide outlines the key criteria we assess — including strength, control, alignment, and mobility — and explains how these findings translate to readiness for pointe work.
