What is "pointe"?
Pointe is a ballet technique where the dancer stands on the very tip of the toes, supported by specially designed pointe shoes. This position requires significant strength, balance, and training to achieve. In pointe work, the dancer performs various movements such as rises, walks, and turns while on the tips of the toes, allowing for a graceful and elongated appearance. Pointe work is a key aspect of classical ballet and is used to add elegance and elevation to the choreography. It is typically introduced after a dancer has developed a strong foundation in ballet technique and has built the necessary strength and control.
